Sitemap: every retro game page on this site
Every page in this archive, grouped by what it does. Entry addresses keep the file extension they were first published with, so they are stable to link to.

How this archive is organised
Four kinds of page, doing four different jobs.
Game entries are the atomic unit. Each one covers a single title and sits at the address it was first published at, extension included. They record what the game was, which machines it ran on, when this archive first covered it, and where it stands commercially — with the description and the status dated separately, because a description does not go out of date and an availability claim goes out of date constantly.
Reference pages aggregate. The index lists and filters every entry; the machine comparison sets launch specifications side by side; the timeline puts the decade in order; the studio register records what became of the publishers. These are the pages where the archive says something the individual entries cannot say on their own.
Features and reviews are the editorial layer — the long-form pieces this site ran when it had a two-page review format, plus the essays on conversion and the closed competition record. They are kept separate from the entries because they carry judgements made at a particular time, which age differently from facts about a game's contents.
Support pages explain the method and the limits: how a status is established, what is deliberately not offered, what is not collected about a reader, and where to send a correction. On an archive whose whole claim is that its statements carry dates, those pages are load-bearing rather than boilerplate.
Questions about the sitemap
Why do the addresses end in .htm?
Because they always have. Outside references to these pages have accumulated for close to twenty years, and changing the addresses would break those references without improving anything for a reader.
Is there a machine-readable sitemap as well?
Yes, an XML sitemap is published at the root of the domain and referenced from the robots file.
