| |
|
| |
|
| Games are classified by release dates, modes, genres, systems and companies. A single game may be in one or more categories.
| |
|
| |
| '''Note''': due to convention, game names that begin with a [[wp:Article (grammar)|grammatical article]] (A, An, ''Das'', ''Der'', ''Die'' (German: the), ''L<nowiki>'</nowiki>'', ''La'', ''Las'', ''Le'', ''Los'', or The) are listed under the next word given in the title. [[The Legend of Zelda]], for instance, will be listed under the letter L in any categories it appears in. Due to technical restrictions, it will '''not''' also be listed under the letter T in those categories.
