I posted today about some site updates, including a soft launch of parts/for sale wanted additions to VAPS:

One of the interesting things I did was to plot the number of unique coin-op videogame entries by years on a graph and then plot a line for how many of these games were owned by at least one VAPS member.
It shows the rise and fall of the coin-op Videogame industry. I was actually a tad surprised about how consistent the graph is in regards to how many of the games are owned by our members in relation to games released over time.
It's also interesting the release of new game titles didn't drop much with the crash of the early-mid 1980s, though starting dropping like a rock once the dot-com/NASDAQ bubble broke in 2000/2001.
We've traditionally been missing some of the most recent releases in the database, which may pull down the graph a tiny bit, though we've added a lot of the missing entries the last year.
