			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>And while I&#039;m on the subject, I feel that the &quot;Add-Ons&quot; category is painfully inaccurate and [EDIT] *perhaps should be considered for removal.* </p><p>If redump wants to retain this information, I would propose the option of appending it to the title description [e.g. Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome (USA) (Add-On)]. There are several expansions-as-games and games-as-expansions that make it difficult to draw such a distinct line via the category class, and it causes unnecessary confusion during the dump submission process (as demonstrated below). Furthermore, I would wager that 90% of the &quot;Add-Ons&quot; technically qualify as &quot;Games&quot; and could be dumped into the &quot;Games&quot; category without any further correction necessary. </p><p>However, if redump wishes to keep this category, then I feel we simply need to be more diligent about maintaining this category and using it correctly during the dump creation process.</p><p>Here are some examples to prove my point from the IBM-PC section that (under the current model), which are listed as &quot;Games&quot; and should be listed as &quot;Add-Ons&quot;:</p><ul><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/13206/">Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome (USA)</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/9883/">Age of Empires II: The Conquerors (USA) (Collector&#039;s Edition - Limited Edition)</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/21454/">Age of Mythology: The Titans (Expansion) (USA) (Pre-Release)</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/21538/">Aliens Versus Predator 2: Primal Hunt (USA)</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/16350/">Diablo - Hellfire (USA)</a></p></li></ul><p>Cheers!<br />-MrTikki-</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ve been doing a manual reorganization of the IBM PC dat recently, and discovered that several of the existing entries would benefit from a new category: &quot;Compilation&quot;. I know that the TOSEC database presently utilizes a similar category, and I feel it would be handy for certain titles. Here are just a couple of examples:</p><ul><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/20773/">Challenge Pack III (USA)</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/4469/">Doom I &amp; II Collection (USA)</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/7985/">Mindscape CD-Rom Challenge Pack 2 (World)</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/4444/">Supergames Volume 1 (World)</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/20480/">Verizon Online DSL Game Pack (USA) (En,Es)</a></p></li></ul><p>There are definitely more examples out there, so this is purely a snapshot to prove my point. Nevertheless, I wanted to offer up this suggestion since the PC list is much larger set that would greatly benefit from the additional category.</p><p>Cheers!<br />-MrTikki-</p>]]></content>
