MobyGames

MobyGames is a website devoted to cataloging video and computer games, both past and present. The site contains an extensive database of video game information. The website's goal is defined as the following by the website's FAQ: "To meticulously catalog all relevant information about electronic games (computer, console, and arcade) on a game-by-game basis, and then offer up that information through flexible queries and "data mining". In layman's terms, it's a huge game database." At the time of this writing (May 2005), that catalog includes more than 50 separate gaming platforms (consoles, computers and handheld devices) and more than 20,000 unique games.

MobyGames is built on a "quality over quantity" framework, and the given reason for many games being absent from the website is that no users have contributed valid and suitable information for them yet.
