I've compiled this little guide to the various issues and reissues of the three Synergy games designed by Haruhiko Shono. It includes everything ever released as far as I'm aware, although I'm only including the JP and US editions to the exclusion of various localizations not published by Synergy. Some information is uncertain or missing, so feel free to help fill in the blanks if you can!
