Game.EXE
There are no clear review/description sections in early table of contents, so the coverage varies, although games generally get covered for a few pages and can include anything from guides and cheat codes to demos, reviews and interviews. If a score is noted here beside a game, then it is a proper review with at least 1 page and suitable for WP:GNG. Non-reviews focused on gameplay description would be excellent for gameplay sections.
