Like model plane construction,these games are mostly designed and built for a hobby or recreation by amateurs, while it seems only a few actually seem to get completed. I suggest changing the articles name to "Homemade video games" 272,000,000 hits on MSN, 29,400,000 on Yahoo, 14,300,000" on Google, compare these numbers to "Homebrew video games" searches listed above. "hombrewing games" gets just 120 (down to 36 with duplicates), so I think my point is valid. Clayhalliwell ( talk) 04:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC) Reply If you add quotation marks to that search "hombrew games" gets 274,000 hits. Certainly not all those hits refer to video games, but more than enough do to establish the term's use in the homebrew gaming scene. A simple Google search of "+homebrewing games" yields ~370,000 hits. You stated in your last edit comment that "homebrewing is not a word used in the homebrew scene".

This one (as evidenced by its title) is for the homebrew of video games only, hence the intro sentence (though I've removed the "only").

Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.178.226.12 ( talk) 05:55, 30 March 2008 (UTC) Reply I agree, and have made an edit which attempts to clarify the etymology. I understand that it can't be included on this page, but I was very surprised to see that there was no disambiguation page for 'homebrew'.īy the way, for the record, I'm not some beer loving nut who wants to know where his beer page is, I was simply trying to find information about the home brewing of beer. Homebrew beer has been around for a long time before videogames. Why does the first line say something like, "the term homebrew is used only to refer to home-made video games." This is blatantly untrue. This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale. This article has been rated as Start-class on the project's quality scale.
