![]() Others could just be erroneous in relation to version (such as a site that says Centipede came out for Atari 2600 in 1981 when the arcade game was the one that came out that year. (Seems to be a common discrepancy with launch titles, using shipping dates instead of street dates). And Combat having a release date earlier than the Atari 2600 itself. Some earliest dates could be referring to preorders or shipping dates (such as Super Mario Land releasing 7-31-1989 while the Game Boy System itself says 8-x-1989 (probably 8-1). Then when integrating them into your own list maybe try inserting them at the earliest date they appear while putting the rest in () or. ![]() That's how I found out The Primitives did a new cover album in 2012 after being disbanded for so many years! Surprises galore.Īnyway for your purposes what I would do is write down all the dates you find of each game. Heh, most of the year I spend time updating my older media and usually around December I decide to look up every musician I like and see what they have done within the last year. January is usually a month of few releases of any media anyway so it is a great month to catch up on forgotten previous year's stuff if you are trying to keep yourself current with the times. Probably entries I wouldn't have known existed till the beginning of the next year anyway." Still Atari 2600 is hard to do because usually for arcade ports, looking up the game only gives data for the original arcade version.įor games, music and videos that don't get it down to the month and only show a release year, I slap those at the end of said year and think of them as "less popular entries that didn't leave big enough impact for their release date to be remembered. Surprisingly enough Wikipedia can be one of the most accurate due to showing dates for each region the game was released instead of just one date. Release dates don't start getting really accurate until the mid to late PS1 era.īecause of inaccuracies I usually just grab the Wikipedia, gamefaqs, ign or allgame dates and roll with it saying "close enough". Inaccuracies and long lists of unidentified month games stretch all the way through the Genesis/SNES era. I know because I organize all my media this way too to make it easier to apply new media at the end of my lists each year. For Atari 2600 this is really hard to do because it seems there are very few games that even get it down to the month when checking multiple sources, let alone date.
