Removed Rolo. Also removed Ranma, since it's pending publication, thanks to ShesChardcore.
This leaves 11 runs in total, a lot of progress has been made this year. pretty cool!
On a more bureaucratic note, I currently have
#756: JXQ's NES Skate Or Die 2 in 10:28.37 listed in the 'added after vault' category, but this is incorrect, it was just published later. In fact
#780: Highness's Genesis Legend of Toki - Going ape spit in 28:25.37 and
#979: Luke's NES Deadly Towers (USA) in 15:20.27 also fall into the category of runs submitted earlier than the last submitted 'First 500' run, which is Star Ocean. So for consistency I should either add Toki and Deadly towers or remove Skate or Die. I'm not concerned with such nuances, as the project is First 500 publications not First 1000 submissions, so I'll just remove Skate or Die, bringing the total to 10.
