AHK Parse multiple xml elements in sequence into [.txt] file - xml-parsing

Question

I've gotten to where I can get the element values I want and append them to a txt file. The problem I'm having is appending them sequentially. An excerpt/sample from my xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Arcade>
<Game>
<Title>t1</Title>
<Publisher>p1</Publisher>
<Source>s1</Source>
<Version>v1</Version>
<Genre>g1</Genre>
</Game>
<Game>
<Title>t2</Title>
<Publisher>p2</Publisher>
<Source>s2</Source>
<Version>v2</Version>
<Genre>g2</Genre>
</Game>
<Game>
<Title>t3</Title>
<Publisher>p3</Publisher>
<Source>s3</Source>
<Version>v3</Version>
<Genre>g3</Genre>
</Game>
</Arcade>
The output I would like to see is:
t1 s1 g1
t2 s2 g2
t3 s3 g3
My baseline script:
#NoEnv
SendMode Input
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
xmlPath := "D:\temp\Arcade.xml"
xmlDoc := ComObjCreate("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0")
xmlDoc.async := false
xmlDoc.load(xmlPath)
Loop Files, %xmlPath%
{
for item in xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Title") {
Tstring := item.text
FileAppend, %Tstring% , D:\temp\testoutput.txt
}
for item in xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Source") {
Sstring := item.text
FileAppend, %Sstring% , D:\temp\testoutput.txt
}
for item in xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Genre") {
Gstring := item.text
FileAppend, %Gstring%`n, D:\temp\testoutput.txt
}
ExitApp
}
Which results in:
t1 t2 t3 s1 s2 s3
g1
g2
g3
I've tried moving the close 'curly brackets' around and also the FileAppend similar to:
Loop Files, %xmlPath%
{
for item in xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Title") {
Tstring := item.text
for item in xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Source") {
Sstring := item.text
for item in xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Genre") {
Gstring := item.text
FileAppend, %Tstring%|%Sstring%|%Gstring%`n, D:\temp\testoutput.txt
}
}
}
ExitApp
}
..which gives me:
t1 s1 g1
t1 s1 g2
t1 s1 g3
t1 s2 g1
t1 s2 g2
t1 s2 g3
t1 s3 g1
t1 s3 g2
t1 s3 g3
t2 s1 g1
t2 s1 g2
t2 s1 g3
...
And a few other iterations. I know (or at least feel) I'm on the right track and if this were the MasterMind game, I think I might have it by now. :) Alas, it's not.
Any help and guidance would be appreciated.

The easiest thing is probably doing it game by game, for example:
for Game in xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Game") {
Text := ""
Text .= Game.getElementsByTagName("Title").item(0).text
Text .= Game.getElementsByTagName("Source").item(0).text
Text .= Game.getElementsByTagName("Genre").item(0).text
MsgBox % Text
}
