Tool Text-based Game Manager

I know, we probably don't need another game manager as there are plenty of good ones out there, but I love to program and I love old school, text-based software, so I decided to create this.

Game Manager is a simple and fast text-based library manager for your F95zone game library. With it you can:

• keep track of games you find interesting,
• automatically check for updates to your favorite games,
• track how often and when you last played a game,
• make comments for yourself to help you remember the game between versions (or however you choose to use them)
• launch games and access the F95 forum for it,
• keep track of what games you've previously deleted and why.

Support for searching multiple tags would be awesome!

After a long hiatus working on other projects, I finally have some time and desire to devote to this project again. I'm planning on adding some new functionality around tags as requested above. In addition to searching by multiple tags, I plan to add a favorite/least favorite tag manager that will highlight tags based on whether you like them and allow you to filter results by that list. My goal is to get you to your favorite content more quickly and accurately.

Is there anything else anyone would like to see?
