Is there anything more complete than mobygames?

I could list a couple of other ones but Mobygames is exceedingly robust and few games are better documented elsewhere. Are you having issues finding info on a particular game?

Huh, IGDB has a curious section showing which game events a title was showcased in, as well as an interestingly thorough tagging system. Example:

@grok show me the Top Ten racism games

If people don't know, it's from a Green Lantern comic in the 90s when they rushed a new character's hero motivation. They introduced the character, then killed off his girlfriend within a couple issues, but it was the 90s so they did it in a particularly gruesome fashion. ****** seethe because yes, a male hero will likely be heterosexual and villains go after his loved ones, who will likely be a woman. So now when a piece of media doesn't dedicate several issues or episodes exploring how the superhero's wife does her nails, goes shopping, goes to her evening art studio classes, or has her menstrual cycle, because that's what comic book readers should want to read about instead of big dudes fighting, then it's misogyny.

They seem to have ruined it by porting it to a wiki, used to be much more usable
