459th played so far Genre: Adventure/Platform Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Frontier Developments Publisher: Frontier Developments Just the look of this game draws me in.

455th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: Various Year of Release: 1988 Developer: Lucasfilm Games Publisher: Lucasfilm Games Time for another Lucasarts adventure! Although another early one, and the last pre-Monkey Island adventure. Happily so, as Maniac Mansion showed they didn’t seem quite as good.

447th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: Various Year of Release: 1992 Developer: Delphine Software Publisher: U.S. Gold Flashback, contradicting the above description, is described by Wikipedia as a “science fiction cinematic platform game”.

401st played so farGenre: Advenure/Puzzle Platform: iPhone Year of Release: 2013 Developer: Simogo Publisher: Simogo Some games are ones we want to play purely because of the image, which looked weird – some goat-like thing standing in a river.
