Use the idle loop to identify instructions, demo play, scoring, and sound settings—with a repeatable observation sheet.

Separate title, region, revision, hardware, and controls. A worked catalogue example shows what each field can—and cannot—prove.

Use a short input and visibility check to decide whether a game suits touch, a keyboard, or a controller.
