CONSOLE RELEASES Revision 1.0 (March 1994) ***********/\************ THESE are at the best of times only approximate, so please don't rely too heavily on this information as things usually do change before a game is released. If you know of a game which isn't mentioned, let me know. Releases are based on US release, you may have to wait a few weeks in other countries such as the UK/Europe and Australia. This list is included separately (not as part of the main text) because it is likely to grow much larger in the future. I'd prefer that it was kept in this archive and not posted or distributed separately. RELEASED RECENTLY :- Games that have recently come onto the market in the last few weeks and should be widely available.

Also listed are opinions on which console(s) the game is likely to come out on, if it in fact does. * These are only pure speculation, so take them as they are.
