Fixes & Future

A few things broke with a language upgrade. They were mostly on the admin side, but I think there was an issue with new users registering. Those should now be fixed.
As much as I wanted to come back to this project over the years, I never seemed to have the time or when I did have the time, I couldn't decide on how to carry the site forward.
Video game music was very broad back when I started in 2005 and has only accelerated in growth since then. We now have several generations who love video game music and they all have different exposure to games. How do you make a quiz that can appeal to the widest range of people? I considered having mini-quizes, I considered going retro only, but could never make up my mind.
The site will remain up. Too much of the "old" internet has disappeared, but VGMQ is most likely going to be a museum of sorts. I will try to make sure the site remains functional as it stands for as long as it makes sense.
Thank you to everyone who has played over the years.

Another Quick Fix

Long story short, our host is about to perform an upgrade that would have broken the site due to some old libraries still in use.
Fortunately I was able to replace the affected libraries fairly easily. I am still thinking about a total overhaul of the site. Just need to find the time.
Also the answer list player has been updated for modern browsers. I missed fixing that last time around.

Long time no update. I would like to revisit this site one day and give it the improvements it deserves, but I've been having trouble finding the time.
In an effort to at least keep the site playable in its current state, I've swapped out the Flash player for the HTML5 audio tag.
