North America
Listed are titles which are receiving “official” distribution or manufacturing in the Western Hemisphere. Imports might occur from Asia but that is a difficult thing to track and not technically considered “released to distribution” for the territory.
‘*‘ indicate kits – Released as a package for the upgrade of an existing cabinet to a new game.
Ӕ indicates that the game is Arcade Exclusive (I don’t use it for pinball since that is assumed with the territory)
