Looks like another data source may be available. I would gather Moby games is a little more developed than thegamesdb.

@HerbFargus Which platforms are more developed?

I was more referring to the stability of the server, Flexibility with regions etc. I haven't really looked into how extensive the platforms are. I really hope they remove their watermarks from the cover art though

I looked at the API and it is nice. It is refreshing seeing an API implemented correctly. It has a normal REST layout and utilizes HTTP errors correctly. The main issue is that this doesn't already have some sort of No-Intro hash builtin. This is similar to thegamesdb but would mean we'd have to remap https://storage.googleapis.com/stevenselph.appspot.com/hash.csv.gz for the new database.
