155th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: PC Year of Release: 1998 Developer: LucasArts Publisher: LucasArts Manuel Calavera (Manny) does not have a good life. He’s dead, first of all, but that’s not exactly a major worry. Following some bad decisions during life, he now has a depth to pay off to make up for […]
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. In what we’ve decided will be tradition, after completing another batch of 50 we turn to something slightly different – indie and different from what we expect. We did it […]

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.

138th played so far Genre: Action Platform: PC/PS1 Year of Release: 1999 Developer: DMA Design Publisher: Rockstar Games Let’s be honest first. We’ve played Grand Theft Auto 38 games ago, which (in our perception by now) is fairly recent. Fair enough – we need to play one every 100 games if we want to spread […]

124th played so farGenre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 1999 Developer: Valve Publisher: Sierra If today’s entry seems short, it’s because a lot of this can reference Half-Life again. It is, you could say, the nature of this beast. Team Fortress Classic is a remake of Team Fortress, a mod for Quake.ย It […]

123rd played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 1991 Developer: MicroProse Publisher: Microprose I have a slight confession to make here.
