Notes

[edit]
  • Dates and serials are representative placeholders — fill with your verified data.
  • “NostalgiaBase Link” points directly to the corresponding item entry on your own database (e.g., `nostalgiabase.com/item/xxxx`).
  • You can easily append new rows for additional consoles as they are catalogued.
