536th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: Various Year of Release: 1993 Developer: LucasArts Publisher: LucasArts I’ll admit, playing Day of the Tentacle today was self-indulgence.

535th played so far Genre: Puzzle Platform: Various Year of Release: 1982 Developer: Hiroyuki Imabayashi Publisher: Thinking Rabbit Sokoban feels like it’s one of the better known puzzle games out there, to the point where Nethack names a set of floors after it. Box-shoving and boulder-shoving comes down to the same thing after all. I […]

509th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Various Year of Release: 1984 Developer: Lucasfilm Games Publisher: Atari I’m not quite sure what to say of Ballblazer, as in my mind it’s just on the list, without any notable qualities. An early sports game that sounds somewhat soccer-like, with a sci fi veneer but also limited […]

500th played so far Genre: Edutainment Platform: Various Year of Release: 1971 Developer: MECC Publisher: Broderbund Do you see that number up there? Game 500 indeed.

Of course, I knew this as Nibbles, the Q-Basic game that came with DOS installations that was similar to the game.

487th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: Various Year of Release: 1983 Developer: Ozark Softscape Publisher: Electronic Arts After going on about how Exile (and other games) unnecessarily apply arcade-level coin gobbling difficulty to home games, it’s nice to shift gears to a game that won’t. While the arcade route is probably the biggest for […]
