The Mood Organ is a device with which, by punching in a number, a human user can instantly alter his or her mood. (Beckett, 2015)[2] What organ is pumping blood through my project? This page collects moodboards -- dials of any kind.

The Game Opening Reference Sheet

The Game Opening Reference Sheet is a prototype of research, a collection of references in presentation, mechanics or theme. In particular, a collection of 'opening sequences' in classic and retro style games: an opening sequence being the sequence between a game's title screen (if present) and the start of gameplay.

An example sequence from The Hobbit (1982):

At the moment, the reference sheet resides on my machine. Two screenshots are presented below. Eventually, this might take a different shape. It would be great to have as a resource to share, that others might append to as well.
