S.E.U.C.K. games and Chris Yates
Should Chris Yates be credited with coding every single S.E.U.C.K. game released? Please discuss. Personally I find it pollutes the database immensely. |

ask a sid tune author if he does like to see a tune from him NOT credited, especially when he wasn't asked for permission to use it. |

by that logic also everyone who made a sprite for some game must be credited in the respective demos that use them. and dont forget the coders of the games that were cracked =) (and actually both would be more reasonable than adding credits for linked sids that already contain the proper credits) |

If the idea of this database is to catalogue everything the scene produced, then why get rid of things?
There are also enhanced SEUCK games (many by Jon Wells and Richard Bayliss), so the enhancers should also get credit. |

Could be worse, could be like Gamebase64 where no-one is credited for anything on their games apart from Chris Yates and Mr. Nobody. |

because not everything produced was produced by the scene. and because not everyone who produces something is a scener. |

... what brings us back to the discussion what is the criteria to make someone count as a "scener". ;) |

I run a site that collects SEUCK games - http://www.seuckvault.co.uk - and quite a few of them are by sceners who are listed in this database. Then you add on the cracks and enhancements - they may not have scored very highly in the cracking charts, but surely they count? Example - would you get rid of Twin Cobra created by The Sarge/Triad?

Not everyone shares your bias, and speaking for myself, the approach of making SEUCK games is mostly graphics driven. I like to push pixels and that includes creating my own loading pics... So if you prefer, anything I do would be a C64 graphics release with a bonus game attached ;) |
