In their own words
LaunchBox
LaunchBox is a game collection frontend and manager for modern PC games and emulated console games. It can import Steam and GOG games, ROM files, and MS-DOS games, then retrieve box art and metadata from its Games Database along with fan art, screenshots, and logos. Collections can be arranged and filtered by genre, platform, ESRB rating, developer, and publisher, with custom status and source fields. The Windows app supports Windows 10 and higher, with Windows 10 and 11 described as fully supported. LaunchBox for Android is free for collections of 100 games or fewer; it shares the games database, media, and portable XML data with Windows, and Windows data can be exported to Android. Premium adds themes, Big Box mode, gamepad automation, startup and pause screens, and display customization. The Regular Windows license costs $30 as a one-time purchase and includes a year of free updates. The maker says Premium is DRM-free and can be deployed to as many personal devices as desired. Windows data can also be moved by copying the app to another folder or computer.
RaiderZ Game Database
RaiderZ Game Database is a free web database covering equipment, creatures, maps and quests from RaiderZ. Item records provide stats, enchantments, recipes, materials, drops and vendors. Creature and NPC entries include loot, crafting services and spawn locations; maps describe areas, points of interest, encounters and connected inhabitants. Quest records list objectives, requirements, related characters and rewards. The Trade Market reads active in-game offers directly from the game, and the Skill Calculator supports up to 44 points, with options to save private or public builds. The official full client is a Windows package, version 100.90, delivered as a 4.7 GB ZIP. A parallel experimental 64-bit DirectX 11 client connects to the same live server. Support is available through Discord for live help and email for account or private matters. The listed platforms are web and Windows, and the service is free to play. Users must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use it.
