I have no idea how to even compile the list of games. I can easily check against the consoles I'm familiar with, but that's it. All I know is that the SNES came out in Australia the year  was born.

Game series introduced

• Sonic
• Civilization
• Lemmings

If add-ons count, then Sega CD.

1981<br /><br />A year just preceding the filth and continued year over year debauchery, cash ins and sell outs in the videogame industry leading to the crash. It would be a few years before videogames came back to where they left off here, the industry would need to crash to remove all the parasites weighing it down. But once it shook the monkey's off its back, it then continued generation after generation of design and gameplay improvement... At least until 2006, the generation nasty old greedy habits/parasites came back with a shiny coat of paint.<br /><br />Donkey Kong<br />Utopia<br />Ultima<br />ms pacman<br />castle wolfenstein<br />Wizardry<br />vangaurd<br /><br /><br />(wizardry and ultima would form the foundation that square and eenix copied in pure homage/idolation for dragon quest and final fantasy, leaving me forever bemused that the definition of what would be known as the 'jrpg' is actually a straight adoption of the og w/crpg.)<br /><br />
