[Con-volunteer] A pre-NarraScope task

[Andrew Plotkin]

Here's something which a volunteer could work on this week...

The conference registration page included the question "What's your 
favorite narrative game? Or ten?" Not everybody answered that question, 
but the ones who did got enthusiastic about it. See attached text file. 
(Each game is listed along with the number of times it was mentioned.)

I thought it would be fun to create a poster listing all these games and 
put it up at the event. Then I thought it would be even more fun to create 
a chart showing the *release date* of the games.

Anybody want to spend a few hours looking up the dates of the 280-ish 
games listed here? Year of initial release is sufficient. For series, the 
year of the first-released game. Don't worry about the "(author)" entries. 
(I know my own birthday, thanks.)

Please reply to this list so that we don't wind up with three people 
duplicating work.
