	Please see [[Games (fork)]] for my proposal. That page includes all of the informative comments & additions added to this one since I left, but not the cosmetic changes. There's a new "type" column to replace the colours and the separate section for game engines. There's a legend at the bottom (like for MP) explaining it. I'll wait a few days (probably) until I get some comments on it before I move it to this page. The "unreleased games" list is a little re-organized to make games easier to move to "released" when they're done. I'm leaving "unreleased" mostly as is (i.e. not removing abandoned or likely abandoned games) because I believe that it also serves as a kind of history, which is also valuable. I'm also adding a "last update" column to make it clearer which category they fall into (I know maplesugarlover had a concern about that).
