Android

Hint

 * When taking screenshots from an ad-supported game, turn off Internet access before running it. It will often cause the ads to disappear so they won't mar the screenshots.

Covers
Here's how to find the game's Google Play electronic cover (in Mozilla):


 * 1) Go to the Google Play page for the game.
 * 2) Right-click the game's icon and choose "Show picture".
 * 3) You'll be taken to an URL with something like "=w300" at the end. Remove this part to get the cover in a maximum size. You can now save it to disk.
 * 4) MobyGames does not play well with transparency, so if the cover contains transparent parts, use a graphics program to replace them with white (in Photoshop, this can be done by inserting a new layer underneath the image and filling it with white.)

Finding release dates
Finding a reliable release date for an Android game can be an exercise in frustration.

The Google Play store only provides the release date of the newest version. There also exists the website AppBrain, which provides a changelog for every app in their database, including release dates for all dates and often the first release as well. Their release dates shouldn't be treated as 100% reliable and may be off, usually by just a couple of days; it might be best to enter, at most, just the month if you cannot confirm the exact day from other sources.

Another website which used to provide a changelog was AppsZoom.com, but unfortunately after their site redesign the changelogs are gone.

If all else fails and you're completely unable to find a date for the original release, enter the release date of a later version, making a note of the version number in the "Release Comments" box.
