Welcome to the Exor's Dungeon Review Section, formerly the Carbon-izer Games Review Section. It's inspired off similar lists like |tsr's nes archive or Hardcoregaming101.net. When I wrote this I had more or less tossed around this idea for years, and reflecting that was a focus more on Nintendo games and old computer games, with less on PlayStation/Sega/AAA titles (hence, lots of Zelda games, for instance). These were all written at different times and thus have a different focus, with some of them going off tangents. A few of the posts have supplementary material but most of that can be acquired elsewhere.
