There are 3478 games in this list as of creation in September 2009. 2fort5r (talk) 10:24, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Background

Sort by release year

Would it be possible to get a version of this list sorted by release year? I can't be bothered to make one manually, but I'm sure someone with programming know-how could write a script to do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rikeus (talk • contribs) 14:34, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Separate list for Win 3.x Games

Windows games are getting pretty numerous that it might be a good idea to segregate games that were created around the late 80s and early 90s on a separate list, such as "Castle of the Winds", "Dare to Dream", "The Palace of Deceit" and such like. An example of a list of win 3.x games can be found at https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_win3_games . Deltasim (talk) 06:33, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I anticipate problems defining a Windows 3.x video game. Since many more modern versions of Windows are backward compatible, would we be defining Windows 3.x games as games that require Windows 3.x technology and cannot be played on earlier versions of Windows? Otherwise it's not a bad idea. The lists are getting quite lengthy. -Thibbs (talk) 17:30, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is a difficult question. I think for the time being the list of games should be limited to games made in 1990 (The year of the OS release) till 1994 (The year before Windows 95). Perhaps more discussion and thoughts from other users should commence before any creation of the list should take place. I can always do a rough draft in my sandbox.

Regions

Should we start putting which regions the games were released and are available in? StarStorm10 (talk) 09:42, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
