Includes every game in a Codexery video-game codex whose infobox gives a developer and a release date, where the earliest listed release year is 1989. Regional re-releases count toward the first year only; games without a verifiable developer are left out. Values are copied from structured data already on each Codexery page and re-checked against the linked source; nothing on this page is estimated or written by a model. Spot an error?
