opening
rough rough
actual notes and explanations will go up here some day
suffice to say, many subpages possible
formatting, that's another thing. hold not thy breath.
CURRENT AREAS OF LOW/NO COVERAGE:
- mobile games (cellphone era or modern era)
- console-style games released for PC before that was a thing
- most stuff that happened after 2010
- homebrew software
- indies/digital releases
- eastern and western diablo-esque stuff
- stuff I forgot
ex: Japanese developer Toydea made a F2P mobile roguelike called Dragon Fang. Then it was released as a 3DS digital title? Then it was remade as DragonFangZ for Switch, which was the first English release? Then it came out on PS4, PC, such and such? Wouldn't be surprised if there's DLC. So, it's like that.
198x~199x
okay. okay. here we go. i think.
we'll start with pure release dates, platforms and english titles. more or less.
later: jp names, dev/pub, localization notes, screaming, crying
- I guess you can do some lazy indenting with bulleted items.
- i hate all text.
