610th played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Atari Games Publisher: Atari Games While earlier we played Portal 2 for its appearance in Lego Dimensions, Super Sprint instead appears in the game as a not-really-cameo.

523rd played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1988 Developer: Sega Publisher: Sega I’m not sure why we’re playing Power Drift today.
