In this list, games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the
best and 1 being the worst.  For each game, the total number of votes,
the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown.  New games are
indicated by a "*" before their entry.  If a "(C)" appears after the
title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title.  If a
"(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only
available in Japan.

The general guideline for ratings is:

8-10 worth buying at full price
6-7  worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested
     in this kind of game
3-5  only worth renting
2    only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes
1    worthless

The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
percentage of votes for each ranking.  The following character codes can
appear:

     "." no votes cast        "3" 30-39% of the votes  "7" 70-79% of the votes
     "0"  1-9%  of the votes  "4" 40-49% of the votes  "8" 80-89% of the votes
     "1" 10-19% of the votes  "5" 50-59% of the votes  "9" 90-99% of the votes
     "2" 20-29% of the votes  "6" 60-69% of the votes  "*" 100%   of the votes

In this list, games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the
best and 1 being the worst.  For each game, the total number of votes,
the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown.  New games are
indicated by a "*" before their entry.  If a "(C)" appears after the
title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title.  If a
"(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only
available in Japan.

The general guideline for ratings is:

8-10 worth buying at full price
6-7  worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested
     in this kind of game
3-5  only worth renting
2    only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes
1    worthless

The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
percentage of votes for each ranking.  The following character codes can
appear:

     "." no votes cast        "3" 30-39% of the votes  "7" 70-79% of the votes
     "0"  1-9%  of the votes  "4" 40-49% of the votes  "8" 80-89% of the votes
     "1" 10-19% of the votes  "5" 50-59% of the votes  "9" 90-99% of the votes
     "2" 20-29% of the votes  "6" 60-69% of the votes  "*" 100%   of the votes

In this list, games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the
best and 1 being the worst.  For each game, the total number of votes,
the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown.  New games are
indicated by a "*" before their entry.  If a "(C)" appears after the
title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title.  If a
"(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only
available in Japan.

The general guideline for ratings is:

8-10 worth buying at full price
6-7  worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested
     in this kind of game
3-5  only worth renting
2    only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes
1    worthless

The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
percentage of votes for each ranking.  The following character codes can
appear:

     "." no votes cast        "3" 30-39% of the votes  "7" 70-79% of the votes
     "0"  1-9%  of the votes  "4" 40-49% of the votes  "8" 80-89% of the votes
     "1" 10-19% of the votes  "5" 50-59% of the votes  "9" 90-99% of the votes
     "2" 20-29% of the votes  "6" 60-69% of the votes  "*" 100%   of the votes

In this list, games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the
best and 1 being the worst.  For each game, the total number of votes,
the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown.  New games are
indicated by a "*" before their entry.  If a "(C)" appears after the
title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title.  If a
"(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only
available in Japan.

The general guideline for ratings is:

8-10 worth buying at full price
6-7  worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested
     in this kind of game
3-5  only worth renting
2    only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes
1    worthless

The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
percentage of votes for each ranking.  The following character codes can
appear:

     "." no votes cast        "3" 30-39% of the votes  "7" 70-79% of the votes
     "0"  1-9%  of the votes  "4" 40-49% of the votes  "8" 80-89% of the votes
     "1" 10-19% of the votes  "5" 50-59% of the votes  "9" 90-99% of the votes
     "2" 20-29% of the votes  "6" 60-69% of the votes  "*" 100%   of the votes

In this list, games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the
best and 1 being the worst.  For each game, the total number of votes,
the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown.  New games are
indicated by a "*" before their entry.  If a "(C)" appears after the
title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title.  If a
"(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only
available in Japan.

The general guideline for ratings is:

8-10 worth buying at full price
6-7  worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested
     in this kind of game
3-5  only worth renting
2    only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes
1    worthless

The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
percentage of votes for each ranking.  The following character codes can
appear:

     "." no votes cast        "3" 30-39% of the votes  "7" 70-79% of the votes
     "0"  1-9%  of the votes  "4" 40-49% of the votes  "8" 80-89% of the votes
     "1" 10-19% of the votes  "5" 50-59% of the votes  "9" 90-99% of the votes
     "2" 20-29% of the votes  "6" 60-69% of the votes  "*" 100%   of the votes

In this list, games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the
best and 1 being the worst.  For each game, the total number of votes,
the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown.  New games are
indicated by a "*" before their entry.  If a "(C)" appears after the
title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title.  If a
"(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only
available in Japan.

The general guideline for ratings is:

8-10 worth buying at full price
6-7  worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested
     in this kind of game
3-5  only worth renting
2    only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes
1    worthless

The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
percentage of votes for each ranking.  The following character codes can
appear:

     "." no votes cast        "3" 30-39% of the votes  "7" 70-79% of the votes
     "0"  1-9%  of the votes  "4" 40-49% of the votes  "8" 80-89% of the votes
     "1" 10-19% of the votes  "5" 50-59% of the votes  "9" 90-99% of the votes
     "2" 20-29% of the votes  "6" 60-69% of the votes  "*" 100%   of the votes

In this list, games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the
best and 1 being the worst.  For each game, the total number of votes,
the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown.  New games are
indicated by a "*" before their entry.  If a "(C)" appears after the
title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title.  If a
"(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only
available in Japan.

The general guideline for ratings is:

8-10 worth buying at full price
6-7  worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested
     in this kind of game
3-5  only worth renting
2    only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes
1    worthless

The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
percentage of votes for each ranking.  The following character codes can
appear:

     "." no votes cast        "3" 30-39% of the votes  "7" 70-79% of the votes
     "0"  1-9%  of the votes  "4" 40-49% of the votes  "8" 80-89% of the votes
     "1" 10-19% of the votes  "5" 50-59% of the votes  "9" 90-99% of the votes
     "2" 20-29% of the votes  "6" 60-69% of the votes  "*" 100%   of the votes

In this list, games have been rated on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the
best and 1 being the worst.  For each game, the total number of votes,
the average rating, and the vote distribution are shown.  New games are
indicated by a "*" before their entry.  If a "(C)" appears after the
title it means that the game is a CD-ROM or disc system title.  If a
"(J)" appears after the title it means that the game is currently only
available in Japan.

The general guideline for ratings is:

8-10 worth buying at full price
6-7  worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested
     in this kind of game
3-5  only worth renting
2    only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes
1    worthless

The vote distribution uses a single character to represent the
percentage of votes for each ranking.  The following character codes can
appear:

     "." no votes cast        "3" 30-39% of the votes  "7" 70-79% of the votes
     "0"  1-9%  of the votes  "4" 40-49% of the votes  "8" 80-89% of the votes
     "1" 10-19% of the votes  "5" 50-59% of the votes  "9" 90-99% of the votes
     "2" 20-29% of the votes  "6" 60-69% of the votes  "*" 100%   of the votes
