Requesting series for existing games

Added it. You could request a new series through the game request form as well. Remaking the page probably wouldn't do what you're thinking to solve the issue. A series is basically just a special game type that consists of other games.

Can Operation C be added to the Contra series?

Could the 'mod/romhack' games have a technical series similar to 'Other'? They don't appear under series at all in All Games.

I've dug through the whole list about 2 weeks ago and found a good number of games that can be in a series:

50 Cent ¤ 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand ¤ 50 Cent: Bulletproof

A Hat in Time ¤ A Hat in Time (Alpha Build) ¤ A Hat in Time (Beta Build)

Alan Wake ¤ Alan Wake ¤ Alan Wake's American Nightmare

Baldur's Gate ¤ Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance ¤ Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

Black Mirror ¤ Black Mirror ¤ Black Mirror 2: Reigning Evil

Bleach ¤ Bleach: Soul Resurrección ¤ Bleach: The 3rd Phantom

Cat Mario ¤ Cat Mario ¤ Cat Mario 3 ¤ Cat Mario 4

Conduit ¤ The Conduit (No leaderboard) ¤ Conduit 2

Escape Goat ¤ Escape Goat ¤ Escape Goat 2

There's a good number of Marvel games, though they're harder to track down. Here's what I've seen so far. Marvel ¤ Daredevil: The Man Without Fear ¤ Deadpool ¤ Fantastic 4 ¤ Fantastic 4: Flame on ¤ Ghost Rider ¤ The Punisher (1993) ¤ The Punisher (2005) ¤ Total Carnage ¤ Wolverine (or X-Men)

Forza Motorsport ¤ Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious ¤ Forza Motorsport 6

Garfield ¤ Garfield Kart ¤ Garfield: Lasagna World Tour ¤ Garfield: The Search for Pooky

Gauntlet ¤ Gauntlet 2014 ¤ Gauntlet Legends ¤ Gauntlet: Dark Legacy ¤ Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows

Geometry Dash ¤ Geometry Dash ¤ Geometry Dash Meltdown

Gubble ¤ Gubble ¤ Gubble 2

Gundam ¤ Gundam Battle Assault ¤ Gundam Battle Assault 2 ¤ Shin Kid? Senki Gundam Wing: Endless Duel ¤ Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Full Boost

Gunman Clive ¤ Gunman Clive ¤ Gunman Clive 2

DC Comics ¤ Injustice: Gods Among Us (There has to be more for this. Superman is fairly lacking, so changing it to DC Comics wouldn't be absurd)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure ¤ JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle ¤ JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future

Kid Klown ¤ Kid Klown in Crazy Chase ¤ Kid Klown in Night Mayor World

Kid Niki ¤ Kid Niki GB ¤ Kid Niki: Radical Ninja

The Lord of the Rings ¤ Lord of the Rings: Return of the King ¤ Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (GBA) ¤ Lord of the Rings: War in the North ¤ Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor ¤ The Hobbit ¤ The Hobbit (GBA) ¤ The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ¤ The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ¤ The Lord of the Rings: Conquest

M&M's ¤ M&M's: Shell Shocked ¤ M&M's: The Lost Formulas

Mario Educational Games ¤ Mario Is Missing (SNES) ¤ Mario Is Missing! (NES) ¤ Mario's Time Machine (In theory this could include the preschool games too if they were on here...lol)

Mary-Kate and Ashley ¤ Mary-Kate and Ashley: Crush Course ¤ Mary-Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16 - Licensed to Drive

Maximo ¤ Maximo vs Army of Zin ¤ Maximo: Ghosts to Glory

NiGHTs ¤ Nights into Dreams... ¤ NiGHTS Journey of Dreams

No Time to Explain ¤ No Time to Explain ¤ No Time To Explain Remastered

OutRun ¤ OutRun ¤ OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast

Paperboy ¤ Paperboy ¤ Paperboy (GBC)

Plague Inc. ¤ Plague Inc. ¤ Plague Inc: Evolved

Predator (or with AVP?) ¤ Predator ¤ Predator: Concrete Jungle

Rampage ¤ Rampage ¤ Rampage World Tour

Road Rash ¤ Road Rash 64 ¤ Road Rash: Jailbreak

Sin & Punishment ¤ Sin and Punishment ¤ Sin & Punishment: Star Successor

Sonny ¤ Sonny ¤ Sonny 2

Top Gear ¤ Top Gear ¤ Top Gear 2

Urban Chaos ¤ Urban Chaos ¤ Urban Chaos: Riot Response

Xenoblade ¤ Xenoblade Chronicles ¤ Xenoblade Chronicles X

Wipeout ¤ WipEout ¤ Wipeout 64 ¤ Wipeout 3 ¤ Wipeout 3 Special Edition ¤ Wipeout Pure

And for existing series:

Alien: Isolation --> Alien Vs Predator (Other Alien games are in it) Aliens: Colonial Marines --> Alien Vs Predator Black Mesa (MOD Version) --> Half-Life (possibly) Crash Bandicoot Trifecta --> Crash Bandicoot Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales --> Final Fantasy or Mystery Dungeon Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Kaznapped! --> Cartoon Network Mickey's Adventures in Numberland --> Disney Pocket Monsters: Red & Green --> Pokémon River City Ransom EX --> Kunio-kun Totally Spies! --> Cartoon Network World of Warcraft --> WarCraft

These are mostly from names I could recognize.

French Southern Territories

To ROMaster2, for Alien:Isolation, the game is not at all similar to Alien vs Predator, in my opinion.

For Black Mesa, in which I am mod, the game is a remake of Half-Life 1 in the Source Engine; thus it can't really fit with Half-Life series. I think it would be more like a Half-Life 2 Mod (so Rom Hack section) however the game engine, even if similar with HL2, is a bit different ( item boosting and random crashes that annoys Maxxuss Kappa ). If Black Mesa Source was linked with HL2 Rom Hack or Half-Life series, then we would have to put http://www.speedrun.com/dearesther Dear Esther (hi S. <3 ) somewhere, the engine is kinda weird and thus it would be like totally weird. So we have three options :

  • Leave things like they are currently
  • Put Black Mesa Source as a HL serie, and Dear Esther in the Half-Life serie but I find this kinda confusing
  • Put Black Mesa Source as a Half-Life 2 (not one because of the engine) mod (so Rom hacks) and Dear Esther as a Half-Life 2 mod too.

Well that's my opinion on how we could sort these things. Black Mesa and Dear Esther share the special status of "modificated Source Engine that looks like another version of the Source Engine but not really". They are both made from the HL2 Engine but with totally different gameplay mechanics.

ROMaster2 i stopped doing that after i was told: "Trollbear: I dislike creating new series out of two games with no moderator request and throwing a moderator over them. It's ambiguous and unclear who should be series moderator or if they would even want to be series moderator. If another site staff member wants to choose to handle those cases, that is up to them. "

So good job creating that list, it might not get handled.

At least then they're aware of which series can be made.

The rom hacks and mods can likely be attached to existing series after the game tags update Lightnat0r has been working on (see the stickied forum thread).

I'll look through this list another day. I pretty much have to check every game to see if it makes sense in the series, and see if anyone in the series moderates multiple games. I still stand by the statement Trollbear quoted from me, it's less of an ambiguous situation to just handle them when moderators ask for them most of the time.

We generally haven't been adding web/flash games to mainline series. When the game tags update comes out, the new listings might be able to allow flash games to be attached to series without annoying a bunch of users.

Can the games in the Final Fantasy Tactics series ( http://www.speedrun.com/final_fantasy_tactics ) be moved into the main Final Fantasy series ( http://www.speedrun.com/final_fantasy ) please.

This was OK'd by the series moderator for the tactics series here: http://www.speedrun.com/final_fantasy/thread/593wa

MLSTRM: We're trying to push out the first round of game tags changes quite soon, which would include having games in multiple series for cases like this. It would be easier to wait a bit and add to both series than it would to dissolve the series and recreate it a short time later.
