The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This one closes on April 1st, but it's not an April fool.
Over the coming weeks we are upgrading our search engine. It's having a triple destructurisation operation and invisible lurking terms enhancements.
The prize will go to the person who finds the MOST VALID PROBLEMS across our WHOLE PRODUCT RANGE in the SEARCH FACILITY.
If you think you should be able to search on "Horror Movies", but nothing comes up, then add it to your list.
If you think people will mis-spell gran turismo, then add that too - but test it first.
Use short lists if possible but multiple posts will count together. i.e. all your posts on this subject will add up and count towards the prize.
Closes 9 am on April 1st, 2001.
I recommend you read the details of our searching process which you can click to from a link at Site Map. Basically we use the start of a word, so a search on "thunder" will find "thunderball". If several words are combined it must find all.

DVD searches:
"LOCK STOCK AND 2 SMOKING BARRELS" Fails.
I always thought he spelt it "Vinny Jones"?
Searching "7" brings up 20 things. None of which are the film, Seven.
"The Sixth Sense" "The 6th Sense" and "6th Sense" all fail.
"GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS" fails.
Why does "TWINE" work for the game, but not the film?
"The Lost Boys" fails.
"Brave Heart" fails.

Same as my game idea damo.
If I put a ' in a search I get nothing, even for Baldur's Gate 2, that's listed with a '. On the Failure screen it comes up like so: BALDUR/'S GATE 2.
"Dune 3 Emporor". Shouldn't that be "Emperor"?
PC game searches:
"B-17 FLYING FORTRESS" comes up with nowt, as does "B 17". It has to be "B17".
Why does "Settlers IV" work, but not "Monkey Island IV"? If you accept Roman numerals for one, you should for all.
I searched "Command & Conquer" and it came up blank even though it's listed that way, but "Command and Conquer" listed 2 titles. "Command and Conquer: Renegade", wasn't listed but is listed if you just search "Command"!
I'm stupid, I thought "Deus X" was a game, but obviously not :-)
"King Pin" doesn't work for KingPin.
For "Rainbow 6" I get this message Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/html/ listings/standardsearch.php:204) in /home/httpd/ html/listings/standardsearch.php on line 207
"Xwing Alliance" Fails.
"ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR" fails, it's listed only as Aliens vs predator. Same with the sequel.
"FA-18" should find the game listed as F/A-18.
Nothing for "X-tension" or "XTension" or "X - tension", I was expecting : X - TENSION: X - BEYOND THE FRONTIER MISSION PACK
I get the Cannot add header message if i search "The Phantom Menace", strangely its fine like this "ThePhantom Menace".
"3 Kingdoms" fails to find Three Kingdoms.
"Super Bikes 2001" fails to find Superbikes 2001. The 2000 version is the same.
"INDIANA JONES & THE INFERNAL MACHINE" fails. "INDIANA JONES AND THE INFERNAL MACHINE" gives the cannot find header info message.
"SHANGHAI: SECOND DYNASTY" fails to find "SHANGHAI: 2ND DYNASTY"
Theres the F1 problem with Formula 1 World Grand Prix.
There are similar problems to the ones already listed for console games for their PC equivolents.
