529th played so far Genre: Role Playing Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Level-5 Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Somehow it feels like I haven’t played a JRPG in a while.

468th played so far Genre: Role-Playing Platform: Nintendo 64 Year of Release: 2000 Developer: Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo Here’s a bit of a landmark.
