531th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Amiga/PC Year of Release: 1994 Developer: Sensible Software Publisher: Renegade/GT Interactive More football games, more sports, more of what I feel we’ve seen before. Sport games just as much feel like they’re a checkbox game – same functionality, each adds a feature, but how does Sensible World of […]

530th played so far Genre: Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Amiga Year of Release: 1994 Developer: Bits Productions To be honest, Gravity Power seems to be a Lunar Lander ‘inspired’ game. Not too inspiring to be honest, although we’ll see. Oddly enough, this was an upgraded version of an earlier released game, initially released with a […]

528th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: SNES Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Tokyo Shoseki Publisher: Nintendo It feels like there are a fair amount of tennis games on the list.

526th played so far Genre: Puzzle Platform: Internet Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Oberon Media Publisher: PopCap Games Zuma has been lurking for a while, PopCap Games’ casual games like Peggle having been fun already and I knew more of them were a lot of fun to play. I know the basics of this game […]
525th played so far Genre: Simulation Platform: Various Year of Release: 2011 Developer: Mojang Publisher: Mojang Minecraft must be one of the biggest game success stories of the past decade, responsible for the success of many streams and streaming sites, as well as the rise of Mojang and all that that entails.

524th played so far Genre: Survival Horror Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Tecmo Publisher: Tecmo The Fatal Frame series is one we’ve been avoiding for a bit. Not because of our dislike of survival horror games – although Resident Evil has certainly put us off, something like Silent Hill was great to […]
