These scores were compiled on November 3-4, 2007. The average score was 6.69 for licensed games. Unlicensed games are listed separately at the bottom of the alpha list below, and are included in the lists of the best and worst. I did not include multi-game carts that included separate releases (such as Mario and Duck Hunt) in the best and worst lists.
The number of the right is the number of reviews the game had.
