212th played so far Genre: Management Simulation Platform: PC Year of Release: 1990 Developer: MicroProse Publisher: MicroProse A disadvantage of looking at statistics when determining games to play is that there are genres where we have to wait a long time before we feel (statistically) able to play them.
