While I commend you on doing this, there's a couple problems with your list.
- WrestleMania for Amiga/Commodore 64: Mr. Perfect is playable in 2 player mode. - Super WrestleMania came out on SNES first, not Genesis. - The Adam Bomb in WM: TAG is an urban legend. - Ken Shamrock also appears in SmackDown! 2 and is also unplayable. - The Game Boy version of Attitude came out before the console versions did. The console versions came out in late July/early August but the GBC version came out in May or June so that should actually be listed before the console versions on your list. - Where are the WCW/ECW games?

The Gameboy Color version of WWF Attitude was released in June '99, the PlayStation & Nintendo 64 version came out on July 31st, 1999, and the Dreamcast version was released on November 10th, 1999.

That's what I was thinking. I remember seeing it way before Walmart got the PSX version in.
