The purpose of this page is to describe how new screenshots are to be made to ensure uniform overall quality. In particular, what scaler you should use, how files should be named etc. | ||
For each game, | For each game, our goal is to have a small number of screenshots (no more than 5) which give users a good idea of what the game looks like to play. If the game is available in different languages or versions (e.g. EGA and VGA), our goal is to have no more than 2 additional screenshots per version showing the differences of those versions. | ||

== Screenshot criteria == | |||
=== Games === | |||
Screenshots should only be added for: | |||
* Commercial games | |||
* Fan games notable enough to have a Wikipedia article (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Quest:_Vohaul_Strikes_Back ''Space Quest: Vohaul Strikes Back'']) | |||
We unfortunately cannot accept screenshots for other types of games. | |||
=== Content === | |||
Screenshots should not show game spoilers, such as surprise plot details or puzzle solutions. A good guideline is: if it appears in a game demo or would appear in a hypothetical "movie trailer" of the game, it's fine. | |||
Nudity, gore, or other potentially objectionable content are not permitted in screenshots. We want the website to be appropriate for all ages. | |||
