Specifically, Civilization, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Catan, Glimmerati, System Rush, Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands, Rifts: Promise of Power, X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, Mile-High Pinball, Asphalt 2, High Seize, One, and Glory in Death.

I believe this means that all of them have been found now.

The short version: while Sonic 1's official release date was June 23rd, 1991, several Usenet posts around that time make it clear stores in various parts of the US were stocking it up to two weeks beforehand. (There's also some discussion of pre-release coverage of the game, if you're curious.)

It's an interesting look at an era of gaming where synchronized, nationwide release dates in America weren't really a thing. (As the article notes, it took quite a bit of planning to get the sequel out on "Sonic 2-sday" across the country, and even then didn't immediately become the standard.)

Over last few days been reconsidering going back to cataloging all media I've got (from Games to Books/Magazines, etc) and remembered was using Dark Crow for this purpose.

Maybe bit outdated, but still useful for cataloging all kinds of physical and digital media.

What other programs or cloud services do you use for cataloging media? Just curious.
