Collection report
288 titles, 39 machines
Plus 142 games living inside compilations — counted on their own compilation's page, not in the title total above.
Everything below is counted from the catalog as it stands. Where a figure rests on data that isn't complete yet, it says so rather than quietly narrowing to the rows that happen to have it.
Release years · 1981–2026
Three machines, one after another

Genre families
What each machine was used for
One bar per genre family: its length is how many titles carry it, and the segments are how those divide between the machines. Lemon files genres two deep — Simulation / Flight — so these are the 19 top-level families. 277 of 288 titles are classified; the other 11 are not counted here.
