Updated the list again:

It's not quite finished yet.
I decided to remove the games that have published movies. They get enough attention already, so there's no reason to re-list them here.
Do we need more categories than Autoscroller, Racing, Sports, Others? I think that from TAS perspective, there's no need to make more categories. Well, maybe RPG, because there are many of those. Fighting games could be listed separately, but there are very few of them, so it may be quite useless.
The list entries would look something like this:
| Game name | Information |
The list should be as simple as possible, but informative enough for a taser. The information box would include only relevant TAS related stuff: known problems with emulation, desynch issues, existing movies that were not published, etc.
The games would be listed alphabetically.
If the page feels too long, we create sub-pages or tabs for the categories.
I would not like to remove any games from the list even if they seem very bad candidates for tasing, because that might reduce individual creativity.
Entries would be removed from the list after they have a published movie.
Is this a good direction to go with the Genesis wishlist?

Edit: I've decided to list fighting and RPG games separately as new categories.

Fighting games are now listed as their own group. (Beat 'em up games are left with the other games.)
There are many different types of games with RPG elements, so I'm not sure how to choose titles for the RPG category. Maybe that category is not necessary at all. I think it's better to give no information than wrong information. There are already too many gaming sites that give wrong or misleading genre descriptions for games.

Edit:
More ideas for categories:
Verified Good Candidates
Mahjong Games (there are amazing amount of them)
