Card Manager Software & Encyclopedia Cards: Overview

What is the free software?

This is a software that runs on Windows 10 and later systems (it will likely also work on earlier versions, but we have not tested it). This software provides you with complete management of the encyclopedia cards that we publish in physical or digital format.

It is completely free and is updated every three months with new cards.

You can create your own cards (video game related or otherwise) and include them in the software very easily.

MORE DETAILS:

This software allows you to view all the cards from our video game encyclopedia.

Many options are available:

  • Sorting by title, year, theme, type;

  • Display of published cards only, or of all cards created for the software;

  • Creation of favorites or collections, to organize the cards as you wish;

  • Export functions allow you to obtain card lists in PDF or CSV format.

    This software is fully translated into French, English, German, Spanish, and Italian (please note: the cards are only available in English for now).

    Updates are scheduled every three months, adding many new cards, particularly related to NINTENDO.

    Collaborations with our fans are planned, allowing you to create your own cards.

What are the encyclopedia cards?

Each meticulously designed card features dual-sided content, engineered for comprehensive information delivery and cross-referencing.

Front Side: Detailed Game Profiles

The primary game sheets encapsulate all essential metadata and analytical insights for each title, including:

  • Protagonist identification
  • Setting and narrative synopsis
  • Critical evaluation and gameplay significance
  • Core mechanics and system specifications

Understanding that a game cannot be fully captured in a single entry, our system employs a multi-card architecture, featuring dedicated cards for:

  • Characters and creatures
  • Key objects and equipment
  • Significant locations and environments

This modular approach allows for granular exploration of gaming universes—from iconic Final Fantasy airships and Ikaruga's signature spacecraft to the ubiquitous power-ups of the Mario franchise.

Reverse Side: Intelligent Cross-Referencing

Each card's reverse features a curated network of:

  • Thematically linked terms
  • Direct references to related cards

This interconnected design facilitates intuitive, non-linear exploration, enabling users to navigate through gaming knowledge thematically and build expertise through associative learning.

Digital Integration & Scalability

Every physical card correlates with freely accessible digital records, forming a growing, community-enhanced database. This hybrid system empowers users to:

  • Catalog in-game elements
  • Document console peripherals and accessories

Production Specifications & Design Philosophy

  • Format: Premium 10×15 cm (4×6 in) cards
  • Quality: Full-color printing on 350gsm cardstock (Please note that not all cards are published in physical format.)
  • Structure: Unbound modular system for infinite expandability

Already 110 cards are included in the software, with over 200 more to be added by the end of the year.

A LOT OF CARDS DEDICATED TO NINTENDO, KONAMI AND CAPCOM ARE SCHEDULED.

The full collection of cards also covers additional themes, such as:

  • Developers
  • Companies
  • Events
  • Press, etc.
