528th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: SNES Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Tokyo Shoseki Publisher: Nintendo It feels like there are a fair amount of tennis games on the list.

489th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo One of the nice things of DS games is that we can put them on while watching some TV in the background, not needing full attention.
