Obviously, because of the nature of my YouTube channel, release dates of old video games are of particular interest to me. A few years ago I got some help from a few folks on the other boards in trying to piece together the likely launch lineup for the TurboGrafx-16, but since then I have found a great resource for release information from back then, in the "Computer Entertainer" newsletter. Every month they had a list of games for each system, which included both the expected release month of games not out yet, and more importantly marked games that had shipped out to stores since the last newsletter. So say in October you might see "Blazing Lazers" listed as expected to release, and then the following month it would be marked as having already shipped. So you can more or less narrow things down to the month that they came out. So with that in mind, here is a list of the TurboGrafx-16's releases for 1989.
Aug/Sept 1989 (Initial Launch) Alien Crush Dungeon Explorer Keith Courage in Alpha Zones The Legendary Axe Victory Run
October 1989 (National Roll-Out?) Blazing Lazers China Warrior Power Golf Vigilante
November 1989 Dragon Spirit Fantasy Zone Galaga '90 R-Type World Class Baseball
December 1989 Moto Roader Side Arms Hyper Dyne World Court Tennis

Nice work, I think at best I've managed to just get a year for entries on my site, but not months.
