Gaming / Re: Complete game lists per console?
« Last post by Marscaleb on September 30, 2020, 09:35:48 PM »Honestly, you can get a very comprehensive list from EmuParadise.
They took down all their roms but they still have everything listed.
The problem there is that the list is TOO comprehensive; they list duplicates that have any difference in the code, such as revisions and multiple regions. (The latter of which may be hard to distinguish between some titles that name the game differently in different regions.)
Seriously; I mean where do you draw the line?
Do you include Sega CD and 32X titles? They may have a different label as if they are different console, but strictly speaking they are still Genesis titles.
Should a collection like 6-Pak count?
And I get not wanting to count homebrew titles since most of them are tech demos, but then you have some that are legitimately full proper games, like Tangledeep and there was an RPG on the Sega CD some fans printed actual discs for. But if you can't count them, then you couldn't count Gauntlet on the NES or Tengen's other unlicensed titles.
...One thing I will say, if you produce any list or distinct number, you really need to include with that the EXACT terms you are defining the list by. Maybe something like "Title must have been sold on store shelves between year X and year Y without being taken down or recall for reasons other than poor sales."
Also, you might try asking your question on NesDev.com. I know people there have shared sites that list a lot of various details, so someone there might have something to help you.

With the Genesis, it doesn't take very long to see that so-called "complete" games lists seem so different from each other.
