## Image Sourcing Policy

When adding real game screenshots or box art, follow this policy:

- **Permitted sources:** Lemon64 (`lemon64.com`), CSDB (`csdb.dk`), Internet Archive (`archive.org`).
- **Prohibited sources:** MobyGames (hotlinking blocked; API key not available). Do not hotlink any external image.
- **Format:** Resize to ≤800 px on the longest dimension and ≤200 KB before committing.
- **Usage basis:** Fair use for non-commercial fan-site preservation purposes. Each image entry below must record the source URL so attribution can be verified.

### Template for future entries

Add a new section here for each image committed to `images/`:

```
### `images/<filename>`

| Field        | Value |
|--------------|-------|
| **Filename** | `images/<filename>` |
| **Game**     | <game title> |
| **Source URL** | <exact URL where the image was downloaded from> |
| **Source site** | Lemon64 / CSDB / Internet Archive |
| **Usage basis** | Fair use — non-commercial fan site |
```

## Content Sources

This section documents biographical data, text quotes, text citations, scanned magazine references, and data points used across the site's non-image content.

**Policy:** Text excerpts are paraphrased summaries (not verbatim reproductions) for non-commercial fan-site purposes. Where a primary scan link is provided, readers can verify the coverage in the original publication. Scores cited without direct scan verification are marked with a `.card-caveat` note on the relevant page.

No audio clips other than `.sid` files may be committed without a documented fair-use case.
