Tabled list and clean up[edit]

For the longest time I've felt this list-article could use a clean up and general make over. I've started with tabling the list of the original 29 games released by GCE and MB between 1982 to 1984. I've made it simple: "Title", "Developer", "Publisher" and "Notes". I decided against a column for alternate (foreign market) title names as there's only 4 games affected, and so instead added that information under notes. All in all, I find it much easier to read than before. I'll likely make some tweaks but it's a good start.

I would also like to verify the year some of these titles were released (I have most the original cartridges and manuals in my collection to compare against, I'll begin with that as a resource). I was also thinking GCE may have been the sole publisher for many of the 1982 releases, but looking at my manuals, they all have "GCE: A Milton Bradley Company" printed on them. I'd be curious if there is such a thing as a GCE exclusive release, but at the very least, it's clear MB became the exclusive distributor at some point early on and so the list does reflect that.

Another thing, I'm trying to decide if the 1996 to 2019 homebrew titles (and unreleased GCE/MB titles) should be added to the main table, or kept separate. Likely the latter, but we should probably table those lists too. For the moment though, I'd really like to get those other lists restored. At some point an editor removed ALL the homebrew and unreleased titles from this list, for a reason unknown. I'm fairly sure there are a couple of dozen titles missing just doing a quick Google search. --Apple2gs (talk) 07:49, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
