151st played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: PC Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Tale of Tales Publisher: Tale of Tales Now for something completely different.

150th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 1997 Developer: Bullfrog Publisher: Electronic Arts As we’ve mentioned before, for these landmark numbers for games we like to find a game that’s somewhat meaningful for us – we care about or such. For the 50’s Jeroen gets a ‘joy game’ whilst I take […]

148th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2002 Developer: The Creative Assembly Publisher: Activision Right, here’s another game that came up randomly, but happened to be a game in a series one of us already loved (this time, perhaps surprisingly, not me).

147th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: PC Year of Release: 1998 Developer: Oddworld Inhabitants Publisher: GT Interactive Abe is adorable.

So yeah, as you can see we’re doing three games in one post – three arcade shoot ’em ups, in fact. Please allow me to explain. Today (as I’m writing this, that is), we were out in London for a private celebration and, having some time to spare, Peter suggested we’d visit the London Trocadero. […]

142nd played so far Genre: Strategy/Role-Playing Game Platform: Playstation Portable Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Level-5 Publisher: Sony Right, this is a bit unfair isn’t it.

141st played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: Game Boy Advance Year of Release: 2001 Developer: Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo Whilst we have been playing some handheld games recently (like Edge and LocoRoco 2) this is a group of platforms that we tend to neclect in favour of the PC or home consoles.

140th played so far Genre: Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Mega Drive Year of Release: 1993 Developer: Treasure Publisher: Sega Some of the games we play are ones that we’re playing because they’re on the list, not for any affinity or initial interest.
