Berserker | 32 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 What site has the most accurate video game data? Moby Games? GameFAQs? There's many little disparities among different sites and I'm not sure which to rely on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,436 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I like Mobygames. Nothing is 100.0%. For example, Mobygames lists SMB’s Canadian release date as October 1, 1985, which is overly specific, and if one game record should be one million percent correct it’s Super Mario Bros. If sources conflict, dig into usenet, press releases, and old catalogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,186 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 +1 for MobyGames. Given the size of the database and amount of contributors there’s a lot of inconsistencies to be found, but it’s easily the most comprehensive database of game info. I use it to research companies since they like to separate things like “Nintendo R&D4” or “Nintendo of America” as its own company instead of bundling them all up under the Nintendo umbrella.

They all have disparities somewhere. You have to take them in the aggregate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
