1002nd played so far Genre: Pinball Platform: Various Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Farsight Studios Publisher: Crave Entertainment/Play It Unlike my edutainment games, I got my pinball games spread out quite well, with Pinball Dreams coming in fairly early and Flipnic fitting pretty neatly between that game and today.

1001th played so far Genre: Interactive Fiction Platform: Various Year of Release: 1984 Developer: Infocom Publisher: Infocom So this is weird.

As discussed yesterday, we’re not quite biting off another 50, but this close to the end I wanted to get my round up in a bit early so we have a clean run to the end. I’ll have to admit that writing this post feels more difficult than normal. Being in the final rush to […]
It’s time for a brief intermission before we get ready for the end game. While game 998 might not sound like an odd point to do so, there is some meaning behind it – by our definition of genres, there are 25 genres left. We finished two of those a long time ago – Wii […]
