  Administrators wanted!
HanheldEmpire is designed for distributed management to allow collectors to complete its database. Although more than 2000 games already in the database there are still hundreds missing and many of them still lack of images.
Voluntary adminsitrators wanted to update HandheldEmpire database. The ideal admins has some knowledge about handheld games and common sense to use web services (like this). Basic English knowledge is a must, (native) Japanese welcomed. No technical skills (web design, database management, programming) required.
As an administrator you may:
  • Add new games
  • Edit or fix existing game attributes, like: color, shape, batteries, name ...
  • Manage relationship among games, like: serial, licensee, clone
  • Upload images
  • Write descriptions
  • ...
If you interested contact me for details.
 
     



This is a site for the 70s' 80s' handheld games.

Do you know the guys at the top picture?
  Yes: Then you are in the right place to gather or share information about vintage games.
  No: Take a tour and find out where the current game consoles like Xbox, Wii, PSP (...) spawn from.
