Thanks to everyone who suggested games for my homebrew database.

I'm going to hold off on adding games for a bit, and work on a few more filters
Firstly, Genre - Not going to go too indepth, probably:
* Platformer
* Shoot em Up
* Sports
* Maze
* Adventure
* RPG
* Puzzle
* Rhythm
* Strategy
* Racing
* Action (nice and generic)
Secondly - details as to whether you can buy the game as a physical copy.
Cheers all
Not quite added all the games that @a2_4am suggested - but slowly getting there!
Who’s making games for old platforms? Please feel free to let me know what you’ve made and I’ll add them to my HomeBrew database (currently a work in progress!)

Commodore 16's Fingers Malone gets GBC port
Rajcsányi László (aka Lacoste) is continuing his quest to seemingly port every C16 and Plus/4 game to the Game Boy Color. The latest is Doug Turner's The Exploits of Fingers Malone - a platform game where you need to collect keys, open the safe and avoid the baddies.
