If something is wrong, its status has changed, or I missed a game you know (or the game is from a non-USA Play Store region or regional storefront) Please ping on Discord or email me (check document owner for mail address)

Footnotes:

1 - G-Gee Cave Android Ports
Due to an online server check requirement, these ports are completely cooked. I managed to find a notice that G-Gee presumably left in their Play Store listing before it was delisted eventually:

“As of 12/14 (PST) our games will be ending all services.

We appreciate the warm support and patronage offered by our players since our release.
Your support has been of great encouragement to the development team.

However due to circumstances beyond our control, we have decided to end all services.
Once again, we will like to thank all of our players for their patronage.”
