## Round 2 (2026)

Second expansion sweep. Same rule: freely-distributable homebrew only, sourced from the author's own site, repository, or release. Adds the SNES shelf.

Round-2 licensing notes:
- Mojon Twins titles and Petris are CC BY-NC-SA; Infinity is CC BY-NC-ND/BY-NC-SA. All free for non-commercial sharing with attribution — same condition as Old Towers above: if this site ever monetizes, these must be replaced or re-cleared.
- Hunted but rejected on legal/validity grounds: Apotris (DMCA'd by Tetris Holding in 2023 — author still distributes, but contested), Tuff.gb (assets "all rights reserved"), Dungeon Master GBA (release file failed header validation). NESert Golfing, Böbl, Tigermoth and Carazu are itch/GameJolt-only (no scrapeable legal source).
