Notes

Avoid listing a game on this page twice. If a game takes place in two or more American states, it should be sorted with the state where the majority of the action takes place. If it's not obvious which state is featured more, place the game with the state which appears earliest in the game. Add a note after the game reference that briefly lists which states are featured in the game.

If a game obviously takes place in the United States, but the exact state is fictional or cannot be determined, then list it at the bottom of the page under Undetermined or Fictional State. Of course, if the state can be later determined, the game reference should be moved to the appropriate state.

Also, because of the potential for this page to become quite long; details per game short be kept short. For example, list only the year for the release date, and omit which competition(s) the game was in.
