A REFERENCE INDEX OF CLASSIC GAMING

Every game ever released. One index.

One hundred and four consoles, from the Fairchild Channel F of 1976 to the Xbox One of 2013, with the complete known software library indexed for 101 of them — compiled from the no-intro and redump preservation catalogs the archival community uses to define "complete," plus curated records for the systems those projects do not cover. Official, unlicensed, homebrew and prototype releases are all here, each labeled. No ROMs are hosted and nothing is for download. This is the reference card: what exists, for what system, released where.

Compiled from the no-intro and redump preservation catalogs — the community projects that fingerprint every known cartridge and disc so history cannot quietly lose one. A game appears here when a verified copy of it is known to exist somewhere in the world.

THE RECORD

What counts as "every game."

"Complete" is a strong claim, so this index borrows its definition from the people who take it most seriously: the preservation projects that fingerprint physical media.

01

no-intro maps the cartridges

The no-intro project catalogs a verified, byte-perfect reference for every known cartridge release: every region, every revision, every late-run reprint. If a cartridge exists and has been found, it has an entry.

02

redump maps the discs

For disc systems, the redump project does the same with exact sector-level references. Disc rot makes this work urgent: the source media is dying faster than cartridges ever will.

03

One game, many releases

A single game often shipped in a dozen forms: regions, revisions, budget reprints. This index collapses them into one canonical title and lists the regions beside it, so 118,058 releases read as 82,346 games.

The card catalog, not the library vault.

Sites like Vimm's Lair pair the record with the ROMs themselves. This site deliberately does not. It is the card catalog alone: a way to answer "what was actually released for this console?" without hosting a single byte of copyrighted software.

Use it to check a title's existence, see how big a console's true library was, spot the prototypes and unlicensed oddities that official lists ignore, or settle an argument about whether a game ever really came out in your region.

Nothing here is for download. The games belong to their rights holders; the record of their existence belongs to everyone.
