The games
All {enletra(len(des), "en")}, ordered by comment density. The figures are measured against the listings each repository publishes today, not copied from its README.
For cartridges it is the ROM size. For tapes it is the size of the
.tsx or .cas file, which carries headers and pilot tones
as well as the program: that is why a tape game looks far larger than what it
occupies in memory.
