september notes: TCS' "Anarchy" did not feature a release date; its
placement here is a guess.

november notes: The date of Triad's "Paperboy" is based on the date of
other cracks presumably made in the same time period, and is in no way
confirmed.

undated notes: Release dates of these files are normally based on their
release year, and little else. When we get a couple of dated versions of the
same game, we can usually give it more of a target date. WCC's "180" had
docs in front of the game, in the main file, and this was probably one of
the first instances the scene saw of this way to package docs. AEK's "Mikie"
was just a trained version, based on Dynamic Duo's original crack.
