LIST OF SOFTWARE TO BE LAUNCHED IN THE FUTURE/RECENTLY LAUNCHED
by Richard Karsmakers
This time, I found it useful to get rid of all those titles that
have been in this list right from the beginning, but of which
screenshots or demos have never been seen. This probably means
that we can wait forever for these titles, so they aren't even
"launched in the future".
