265th played so far Genre: Fighting Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1984 Developer: Irem Publisher: Irem Some games are games where I really have no proper justification why we played them.

261st played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Stardock Publisher: Stardock We like 4X-strategy games, Civilization and its successors. I also like Sci-Fi.
