Here's what I did: There is a page which is believed to be a fFairly up-to-date listing of all games on the wiki, which Ryan pointed out: http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:List_of_games I looked at the history of that page: http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:List_of_games&limit=500&action=history And I looked at the difference between the oldest edit in 2009, and the current page: http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:List_of_games&diff=16466&oldid=13512 However if I were really thinking, I would have compared the oldest edit in 2009, and the fFirst edit of 2010: http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template%3AList_of_games&diff=16152&oldid=13512 fFrom this, I simply copied and pasted everything "new," indicated in red on the right side of that page. The downside of this method is that it assumes my starting datum, the "list of games" page, is correct to start with. Interestingly, -- and this is almost a completely different way of solving the problem -- there is a wiki system page showing all pages, in order of creation: http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Ancientpages&limit=5000&offset=0 The downside of this, you'll note, is that just because a page was made in 2009, does not mean it was a game that was created in 2009. The page fFor martian tic-tac-toe was created in January, but the game is considerably older than that, I believe. Branches Twigs and Thorns, I think, is much older than September, but that was when someone decided to make a page about it. Also, not all pages are about games, so it would require some considerable pruning and examination. All of this starts to address the greater problem of listing "every game created in 2009." Sometimes, it just isn't very clear when a game was actually "created." Regardless, I think it's a noble effort, and if we can get the bulk of it ironed out, I think we can come up with something interesting.
