Think we can eventually allow non-games, such as the hidden/unused stuff in computer software and operating systems? I have plenty to contribute relating to Windows 95, the hidden Windows 98 SE "deskbar", and hidden features within Microsoft Office.

I'm no authority when it comes to the wiki, but I think that allowing non-games would be a good idea, actually. Maybe have a separate "Non-games" category for them.

Yeah, I'd be down with a Non-Games category. I don't see what the issue would be, just gotta figure out what exactly to call it.

I'm down with calling it "Miscellaneous" or "Other Peripherals".

Not sure that I'm liking those names. "Other Peripherals", at meast to me, strongly suggests that it's a category about hardware and not software, and "Miscellaneous" could be misinterpreted to mean just about anything.

Maybe "Other Software" or "Non-Game Software"?

Or just "Software", if you must, though it would look kind of weird in a site mostly about games.

Meh...I'm kind of worried that this will eventually open the door for a whole slew of things that fall way outside TCRF's original scope.

Can we just keep it dedicated to games for now? I'm sure there are plenty of sites documenting Windows' secret/unused features, being the most popular OS in the world and all.

Okay, yeah, good point, BMF.

I'm personally curious though about what those hush-hush secret things are. Perhaps a link to a source or PM them to me anyway, please?

...but what would happen if we suddenly found some interesting dev stuff in a console peripheral, like the NES Power Glove, the U-Force (if I remember that name correctly), that SNES bazooka, etc.?

"A horrible person". That's what it says. "A horrible person."

We weren't even testing for that.

Note that we already have the Gamecube, which is technically not a game either.

Those are at least game-related peripherals, and the GameCube BIOS is technically GameCube software.

So let me refine that: "can we just keep it dedicated to games, game consoles, and associated hardware/software for now?" Is that still too vague?

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
