In this lot of 50 I finally feel like we have been able to catch up on a lot of the years, genres and platforms that had been left behind previously. Our statistics now take on a more long-term view of what we play in the 50. I know that this sounds a little bit […]

It has been an interesting 50 – between finishing the now-removed games and Peter’s blog guiding our decisions, we’ve been a bit more structured than before, while trying to keep our stats in check as well (we’ll have a Wii game in the next 50, I promise). At the same time, now that we’re here […]
If I am being honest my heart has not exactly been in this blog for the last 50. I have had such a turbulent time of it that there are a number of games where I just watched them being played rather than playing them myself since I had so much work to do in […]
Woo! 350! Another batch of games done! And it’s been eventful – during this fifty we found out a new edition of the book had been released and we have to scramble to see how we can deal with this. Still, adding twenty games to the total project (with only 12 more obsoleted games to […]
Never EVER again. You hear me? So many games were off-limits in this 100 that this blog became a huge chore at times. Whole series such as Mario andย Zelda became off-limits for a year whilst other games that we wanted to play or revisit have been neglected. In many ways it allowed us to […]
So here we are, another fifty done. Fifty games I had not played before, which was an interesting introduction. It’s also made us decide not to go for these themes again, not for this long – it took too long to get through and blocked too many other games. Still, we made it, and the […]
25% in and the only thing I can think of is: thank God this 50 is over. In many ways this has been an odd fifty because we have had to tiptoe around with every game that I have ever played. That meant pretty much no fighting games in ages and major series like Resident […]
Woo! As we round off another 50, we’ve reached the one in four mark. Had we done this in order, we would have managed to get to 1993, having just enjoyed The Settlers (a game I am looking forward to playing). The past fifty games were dedicated to games Peter hadn’t played before. Mostly to […]
With Jeroen’s summary post looking back over the previous 50 I guess it is apt that I look to the future for when we reach our next big landmark of 250 games… or 25%! Well, we have jumped around a lot between games and for the next 50 we are going to have more of […]
Fifty more games since our last summary post. Wow. For those keeping track, we’ve now played and written about 200 games for this blog, so we’ve done one in five games – looking at the book we made it from 1971 to 1991. Here, we’ve randomly jumped around and created patches and connected sections… the […]
