Ways to Contribute

Contact thegamearchives to discuss contribution opportunities. Our archive grows through community effort, and we welcome various forms of participation. Whether you possess rare games, documentation expertise, or programming skills, there's likely a way you can help advance gaming preservation.

Game submissions require specific information for proper cataloging. We need accurate release dates, regional information, developer and publisher credits, and platform specifications. Screenshots should capture native resolution without filters or scaling. Box art scans should preserve packaging details at 300 DPI minimum.

Metadata corrections help maintain database accuracy. If you spot incorrect information about release dates, credits, or other details, contact thegamearchives with your correction and supporting sources. We verify all submissions before updating live data, but community vigilance catches errors we might miss.
