Change to table format?

Think we really need to change the information under each company/brand name on the official page to a simple table format. Coz, the page is getting too long, just too much blank spacings between lines of text/fonts & whatnot. I mean, just look at Irem's list alone (Mostly just 1980's-early 1990's fare). I think it's for the best... ObiKKa (talk) 12:20, 14 December 2018 (EST)

Table template

2020, July 06 - Just experimenting with an ideal table template. I had this idea in my head for a year or more. They can be inserted under each major company/brand and also in "Other" sections. This can also be copied into several other pages with modifications. ObiKKa (talk) 04:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Do each edit in 3-4 steps per company/category so editors are less stressed and can relax and enjoy ;):

1) Add table and names.
2) Add production dates of games, then rearrange in ascending order; plus compat status - start with default cross symbol first.
3) Add notes with MAME driver links & type notable game examples. Update compat bars too.
4) Research availability of machine support in alternative emulators and FPGA cores like the MiSTer FPGA if you want to bother. Good luck.
