KLOV



         


The Killer List of Videogames (or simply KLOV) is a web site devoted to cataloging arcade games past and present. It is the video game department of the International Arcade Museum. It is heavily accessed by collectors and fans the world over. It is by far the largest database of such information on the Internet.

Though it has "videogame" in its name, the title is a bit of a misnomer. The KLOV only lists arcade machines. The site of Moby Games, however, does catalog video and computer games.

The KLOV has cabinet, control panel and marquee images, screenshots and even 3-D models of the machine in some cases. Entries have machine technical information, a game description, cabinet information, lists cheats, tricks and bugs, discusses conversions and gameplay, lists trivia and fix information and discusses the game's legacy (such as sequels or similar games it insprired). Some entries even have the complete technical manual available for download.

Almost every arcade game ever released, no matter how obscure, has an entry. The more popular a game was, the more extensive the entry is likely to be. Since it is heavily used by collectors, even obscure games will have at least a stub of an entry.

The site features a "Machine of the Moment" and maintains a list of "The Top 100 Videogames." The site also hosts message boards where collectors and fans can ask questions and get answers from experts. It also publishes news related to arcade games.
