The above list includes games gamma-released by their authors (made available to the general public as finished products). If you know of a game which is not included in the list, please let me know.

The starting point for this list was the list of MM and JSW games developed by Dr. Andrew Broad. Its last update took place on 28 May 2009. While Dr. Broad does not maintain an active website devoted to MM/JSW games any more, that last version of his list is still available here.

The JSW Central list of MM and JSW games preserves the general layout devised by Dr. Broad. The games are listed in the order in which they were first gamma-released. In the case that a game was reissued (as a bug-fix or a special edition or a further-development version), it retains its position in the list and a revision descriptor is appended with the year(s) of reissue(s) and the reissue name(s) (if pertinent).

A game may appear in more than one category if it has versions using various game engines.

The following type descriptors have been used in the list:

JSW128 games:

• HLn: based on JSW128 Hacklevel n;

JSW64 games:

• HLn;v where v is a subset of {V,W,X,Y,Z,[}: based on JSW64 Hacklevel n, Variant v (where n and v are independent of each other).

The "Other game engines" category is exempt from the chronological ordering principle. Instead, it lists games in each of its subcategories in an arbitrary, decreasing order of relevance.
