914th played so far Genre: Action Platform: PC Year of Release: 2012 Developer: Dennaton Games Publisher: Devolver Digital It feels like Hotline Miami is one of those indie darlings that started off the indie explosion that mostly happened after the list, where smaller games had a bigger scope. I’ve heard people say good things about […]

912th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: Nintendo DS Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Nintendo EAD Publisher: Nintendo Thanks to the Book of Mudora podcast, I’ve been steeped in Legend of Zelda lore recentlyย  – something that seems way deeper than the games justify, but it’s fun anyway.

907th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: SNES Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami I think The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is another game that I’ve only heard of because of the list.

890th played so far Genre: Action Platform: Various Year of Release: 1988 Developer: Novotrade Publisher: Epyx Impossible Mission II is, in fact, not related to the Mission Impossible franchise, despite using the same words in the title.
