Hey folks, if you noticed, I made a topic looking for development tools to test for my university project.

Well I need your assistance again! (As well as in the dev tool topic)
I need to find a list of games for each console in each generation!
Such a request you may ask why? Well I need to examine the evolution of turn based role playing games so the best way to is to examine the turn based role playing games from each gaming generation.

So could someone bring me a list of games for each console for each generation?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computer_and_video_games <- Click the Console tab on the right to see the generation

I'd really appreciate it folks! This will make my life much easier

Thanks man! I can start to use this. Cheers niek

EDIT: Right, I have the franchises I can write about. Could someone provide me websites that provide gameplay details on the following games?

Dragon Quest : From I to IX
Final Fantasy : I,II,III and X (I already know the gameplay but I need it anyway)
Breath of Fire : 1 to 4
Earthbound : 1 to 3
Pokemon : Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl, Black and White (I already know the gameplay but I need it anyway)
Legend of the Dragoon
Sonic Chronicles : The Dark Brotherhood
Golden Sun : 1 to 3

I'd really appreciate it folks! Though if you find websites detailing the gameplay of the entire series (excluding Final Fantasy and Breath of Fire), I'll jump for joy!

If you want release dates, you're probably best off going to the wikipedia page for each one. Perhaps you'll be able find a nicely organised wiki just for game systems though. Logged

"Mmmm...CHECK PLEASE!" Reputation: +5/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 749	Honestly, your best bet for finding the release history of Golden Sun is a site dedicated to the series. I looked a bit and it looks like this site has the info: http://www.goldensunrealm.com/ Logged
