151.
EDIT: After seeing some of the other numbers posted I have to ask.. am I an addict?
|
Never considered myself a true gamer...until I went over that graphic.
|
50
Very low games/year on the last few years, guess I can blame wow 
|
15 LOL
Man, I knew I didn't play games, but... yeesh.
|
|
|
o wow... so many...
By played, I meant by played for at least 2 hours. For example by this definition I have "played" starcraft before. Bolded titles are the ones I spent a lot of time on.
C&C
Sim City 2000
Warcraft 2
Heroes 2
Red Alert
Quake 2
Commandos - Behind Enemy Lines
Delta Forces
Starcraft
Sim City 3000
Heroes 3
Quake 3
Rollercoaster Typhoon
Age of Empires 2
Homeworld
Diablo 2
Warcraft 3
Guild War
Plants vs Zombies <-- fuck yea!
---
19 in total.
There are tons of stuffs missing, however. For example:
Heroes 4 and 5 are not listed. I played them extensively.
Red Alert 2, 3 are not listed. I played 2 extensively.
Age of Empire 3 is not listed (WTF?!). I played aoe3 extensively.
Sim City 4 is not listed (WTF???!!!). I played it extensively.
|
85, hardly beat most of them though.
|
|
|
|
|
I'd say i've played just about 95 of them 10 hours or more.
|
Around 20, I lost count somewhere but I think it's like 20-22.
edit: I took it literally, as well. Many of these games I've only played for an hour.
|
53. Funny thing is the majority of them are on the left side

Most of mine are on the right. Guess I'm more of a new school gamer.

9, with the literal definition.
Do I win?

I have played at home 65 or something
Mostly 1996-2001 and i didn't beat many lol :<
But i have played some more at friend's houses, and i also know things about many games that i haven't played. For example i have not played Crysis myself but i have watched tons of videos / reviews etc ...
So i have a decent knowledge about most of those games, i know their genre, if it is good / medium / bad etc ...
edit: lot of meh/crap on the right side lol.

Also i became addicted to bw when i got an internet connection in 2004 so i have spend less time on other games :p Lot of games i have played aren't in the list too.
|
130 games.
I played almost no games before 1998, and my most active period of gaming was from 2001 to 2008, I would say. I haven't played many of the new games.
PS: I actually "beat" maybe half of that number at best, since some games are mmos and others are turn based strategies that you can replay hundreds of times.
Also a lot of stuff is missing. Like where's Master of Orion 1, where's Dune 1 and 2 ? The Lost Vikings?
|
played 137, beat 58. most of them from the 96-2004 period.
|
79
Didn't beat/play more than a couple of hours on like half of those though.
|
183. I'm too old...
And some of the games I played and really enjoyed are not even on that list!
I'm not even talking about niche games. Where the fuck is Dune 2, Flashback and the likes? I've spent countless hours playing these...
|
126....
Pretty even distribution through the years with the highest concentration 2000-2004 and there are plenty of games i've played that are not on there.
|
50ish, i might've counted one twice or not seen them all so i'll say 50-55, but most of the games i've played aren't on that list, at least 90% of them. i've always been more of a console gamer, and i'd say the amount of time i've spent on console games compared to pc in terms of hours is easily in the hundreds for every hour of pc time.
i don't know if anyone else gets a huge wave of nostalgia from this thread like i do, just remembering all the old games you used to play. i never played those "theme" games but the box art reminds me SO much of the sim spin-offs. anyone ever played this gem? i felt like the most badass kid in the world while driving in this game.

~20, but only ~10 for any length of time.
|
93, my count severely dropped off post-2001. All of my favorites are pre-2000, which makes sense.
Cool poster/image/whatever.
|
121. But I got to 100 in 2003, so you can see that I was playing a lot more when I was younger and I often return to old games (hell I love Civ4 for example, but I play civ1 every single year for a few days!, same goes to almost all old classics, like I finish Might and Magic 6,7,8 every now and then).
|
Played 73 of them... probably played about 50 of those a decent bit. Sheesh.
|
7 .-.
(Assuming you can only count games you've played for a reasonable length of time)
The most recent being The Sims 2.
I was more of a N64 kid.
|
16
Low considering the other posters here :/
|
49 played, 14 'finished'. i didn't actually play any of the older ones around the time they were released, have just gone back and played them
|
104 for me. Most of my plays have been the old classics and the very recent games.
|
|
|
33 and whoever made this gets bonus points for including tribes 
|
53
Lots of them that I missed that everyone looks back at so longingly (Deus Ex, System Shock, Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, to name a few).
|
35, mostly from the earlier years on the chart. Of course, years ago I used to play more than about 5 games per year too....
|
Played at least once in my life? 68 total.
Passed and or have bought? closer to 50.
I just realised that as the years passed from 1990 to 2010, I played less and less of these titles. From the newer ones I only have Mass Effect 1/2, Call of Duty 4 andFEAR 2.

17.
Not much of a PC gamer =(
|
131 good times... some awesome games missing though
|
Around 50. I played a lot more console games in the past 5-6 years.
|
64, which isn't too bad considering I was born after a lot of those were released!
|
101 wow. I had no idea I had played so many bloody games. So many from the 90's too.
|
103! wow that list really takes me back, so many good games. I think out of all of those I played Quake 2 the most. That game had the best multiplayer and mods of any game I think. I just wonder where all those games went that I bought. I don't have any of the boxes before like 2005.

From the OP's picture, I played about 100 games, pretty evenly distributed. Probably didn't finish most of them though.

113 of these I have played. God damn I didn't know I was so addicted.

1998 was a beast. Wow. Starcraft, Half Life, Baldur's Gate, Grand Theft Auto, Unreal...
|
14 and im total addict ;d my first game was starcraft for few months (i was such a noob haha), then wc 2 , wc 3 for a year, lineage 2 for 2 years, world of warcraft for 2 years up to now, and now starcraft bw again. I played some games inbetween, but only for a short short time. I was playing lineage 2 and wow about 10 hours a day ;d (l2 was such a good game too bad so much grind ; s )
|
123, but they are missing a lot of titles.
|
|
|
14
Anyone play Master of Magic or War Wind? (or flight simulator?)
|
|
|
I thought I played a lot of pc games... I've played five of these games ;;;;;
Starcraft, Diablo II, Warcraft 3 (dota), Portal, and Guild Wars
I feel so... left out

How are you guys with 1XX games played counting them all? >___<"
|
40
Not that big of a PC gamer. My count took a huge dip at 2008. haha.. Shows how I feel about modern games.
|
100. A lot of the older games I haven't played, and those old ones I have played have mostly been in recent years (Baldur's Gate, for example).
So many games not listed, but there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just happy VVVVVV was there
|
99. I actually had a lot of hits in the last couple of years and near the beginning; very few in the middle.
|
Nine....
|
I played like 4 of those on the computer, but for any system I have played 20. Yeah I am kinda young plus I just never really got the chance to buy a lot of games.
|
About 30..
I did notice that the variety of games was greater before SC/big blizzard titles came out, stopped then rose again after they started losing interest a bit for me. Damn blizzard and their long lasting games.

53. Most/all are from 2005 of before. Been telling myself for 5 years I'll wait until the next generation of consoles, but now I'm not sure I'll ever get back into console gaming.
|
93, gotta love having a gaming mom and a gaming dad.. So many good games, how do people avoid playing these gems??
Edit: age~18
|
37, most of which are in part VI of that picture.
|
30. Never was into video games as a kid.
|
50. It would seem i practically stopped playing new games around 2005.
|
106. Though there are a LOT of older games that aren't in there and should at least be mentioned.
...like the entire NFS series. And many more.
|
Around 100 of them. But 80 of those were games released 2000 or before. Have played 90% of the games released before 2000 and maybe 20% of the games on that list released after that.
The list made me realize I never finished Arcanum. Downloading it now
|
~50
PC gaming ftw!!
Some of these games here i totally forgot lol!
Most of the games i played were during 2000-2005
|
90~
they missed a bunch too....
|
78.... I went in thinking "wow how could anyone play near those numbers."
I didn't play too many of the early ones, nor most of the later ones. I think the reason a lot of folks see a drop off in their numbers towards the modern games is that they're almost all full priced games, and some folks had an ugly wow addiction (guilty).
|
79. Most were demos, but I DID play!
|
Like 30 or so from that list. Severely lacking things, of course (; old console era and so. But yeah difficult to count otherwise than by a list.
|
140, wow, that's a lot.
Thanks to 1996-1997. I was such a gamer when I was younger. 2005-2007 kills my stats though.
|
|
|
Wow, exactly 200.
What the hell have I been doing all these years ?
I think I've beaten like 60% of those games. But I remember them all. Curse my memory.
And don't you dare even count Consoles games. It would be insane.
(By the way, no Outcast on this list ? THIS. IS. INSANITY. é_è)

And yeah, a lot of classics like Outcast, Drakan, Nox... Even Red Faction is missing.
|
|
|
188 out of 264 not bad
didn't know alot of the new games. only 5 out of the 09' ones. lol. First time seeing an actual cover for Doukutsu too, very cool looking. gonna have to do some nostalgia gaming now
|
143
Also sad how the amount of games you remembered to have enjoyed became less and less the further forward you went.
|
35 and most of them quite old, damn wow
|
43 but it feels like lots of good titles are missing...
|
142 I've finished maybe 10 :/ ugh lol. Some of them played on consoles though... cut maybe 10 if we're going solely by PC experienced.
Speaking of whiche, I wonder how awesome Flower would be on PC.
|
|
|
34
That's actually more than I thought as I usually stick to one-two games religiously at a time.
|
Only 132.
Played pretty much every game from the 90s, but hardly anyone in teh 2000s.
|
So many classics. If you don't have at least 25 from the first three columns, I think you really missed out. 90s games were just so much more entertaining than todays rubbish.
|
93 if I counted correctly.
Man, those games bring back some memories.
I see there's some hardcore og gamers played almost over 2 decades of pc games, congratz and keep it up.
|
127
However most were in the 1/2/3 column. it brought back good memories, like the incredible machine, THAT was an awsome game.
Lots of good game are missing, i really wonder how many games it would be if everything was here. Or not, it would be kinda sad.
|
113.
I counted each big column separately, and - not surprisingly - it got less and less:
33, 27, 24, 13, 9, 7
(This also shows my age I guess)

|
148.
most of the games i've played are from the early part of the decade.i'm starting to become old now.
|
I got 71, lol i never thought that i played so many different games. And there are quite a few missing like the whole need for speed series and the EA sports series.
|
2nd and third columns are the best by far imo
That's the golden age of PC gaming.

Console gaming was pretty awesome too! PC gamers missed out on things like Mario, Zelda, Mega Man, Final Fantasy. For multiplayer, Goldeneye, Twisted Metal, Halo, a ton of fighter games. I got some RTS and MMORPG love from PC gaming, since consoles couldn't fulfill those, but otherwise console gaming was great!

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Psb2P.jpg)
Notice the drought right when counter-strike came out...
|
39. Such a low number... not my fault its my PC that sucks.
|
|
|
'round 80, around half of them I only played for an hour or 2 though
Really do notice how many old classics I've been missing out on... quite a new school gamer I guess
|
11.
Funny thing is, the only 2 games I played that's from after 2003 were Plants & Zombies and League of Legends.
EDIT: Ohh and World of Warcraft after 2003 as well. So it's 12 games instead.. Didn't notice it on the list.
|
Holy shit. I have to play Tyrian, Raptor, Commander Keen and Kings Quest again. It's been like a year. T_T
I was just under 80. If you include demo's and playing them at friends houses I've played most of them.
|
22 taking the question literally for PC games only i'm 87 for pc + other consoles
|
81, a lot of them were demos and most were unfinished though
|
Looks like 41. Probably missed a couple though.
|
God Strife was such a good game.
I gotta get that and finish beating it -- I was like 80% done at one point, but I emailed the wrong save file back from out of state (oh the days of dialup, tt).
I'm 70, plus/minus a couple.
|
125, Of course the amount that i have played through is significantly less.
|
28 that I remember playing for more than 1 hour or so... I havent played any of those 2002+ games here though :D
|
Played 47. But 90-95% of my gaming in the last 12 years has been on wow, starcraft, diablo 2, war3, and counterstrike 1.6. I generally stick to the best of the best in gaming genres.
|
jesus... Played like 100 or more of them.
Most of the ones I'm missing are the newer titles. The first two columns I've played pretty much every single game.
Betrayal at Krondor, rofl wow that brings back some memories man. Honestly that game would still be fun to play even today. I think I'm going to go re-downloaded it. I downloaded it for some nostalgia like 3 years ago and played through a bit of it.
It's based on Raymond E Feist's books if anyone is a fan of his work. He did Magician, which is like my favourite fantasy book next to the silmarillion.
|
lol alone in the dark... I never played the game itself, but if you ever played day of the tentacle, there's an easter egg where you can log onto a computer and play the original alone in the dark inside of day of the tentacle.
I played all of those lucas arts games with the action grids (pick up, use, drop, etc.) sam and max was the hardest one.
If this list went back just a few more years it would be truly epic. I want to see some games like Dark Castle, Scarab of Ra, etc. Now that is truly oldschool.
|

Wow, I've only played 14 of those games.
I tend to focus on a select number of games and play those a lot.

Are you kidding? Need for Speed or any of their sports games wouldn't qualify for a list of classic PC games.
|
72
Does it mean you are in too deep if you recognize VVVVVV and would have been able to recognize Cave Story in 2004?
Also, I am very upset they never continued XIII. It ended on a cliffhanger. I seriously was gearing up to play the final scene when it just cut to credits. So sad, I really liked that game.

NFS 1/2/3/4 are/were better than many post 2002 games...
I mean they have put Dungeon Siege in the list LOL

That is very true, I find it very fitting that I got 64 since I was a very avid Nintendo 64 gamer. I think I spent more hours playing Perfect Dark Multiplayer than I have any other game.
|
I played... 6. Big gamer huh?
|
34, but I only counted games I played for a decent amount of time and not just ones I have tried.
|
137. i'd say that's a lot considering i was born after the beginning of the list -_-
|
Can't magnify the picture for some reason. Will report back when I can! :D
|
Played around 45.
(When including game testing etc perhaps 80)
|
Probably 80-90.
Didn't play them all the way through though.
|
around 19 for me. i dont diversify my games much. most of the older ones were all rtses(blizzard ones, C&C, AoE)
holy shit "raptor:call of shadows"? that shit was oldschool. that was like my childhood up until warcraft and starcraft blew my mind. the twin lasers just ripped shit apart.
|
63
I feel really ashamed of myself for calling myself a a gamer nerd and have only played so few of thees games T_T but now I got a summer of catching up to do ^^
what is worse is that is that I have played more of the 1990-1993 games than the 2005-2007 games considering I was born 1991. but then again during that time period I was pretty much only in to wow...
edit: after a look again I think its 73 bit its still bad T_T
|
in the 30's
I missed a lot of PC games
|
|
|
35.. lololol =D not that many!
|
32, really wish I had a better PC throughout most of my life. Some of the games I want to play now I cannot run. :[
|
|
|
|
|
16 but this will make a great list of games i should check out lol
|
|
|
|
|
._. my cousin whos younger than me played 12 games opposed to the 7 games i mentioned on page 2
.. ._.
|
|
|
145 over here. I'm 19 and now that I realize it, I've played a lot of video games in my life!
|
126, a lot of great games left out (I would have replaced a few). Not all were played on PC, a good 30% were on consoles.

Depends on how old you are. TL has a lot of teens and younger people so there aren't so many who were into PC gaming early on and tended towards console gaming instead. I'm almost 26 years old, been a PC gamer my entire life. I remember inserting 1-7 5-inch floppies just to install a game and play it.

played 62 for at least 5 hours

spent few thousand hours playing 2 games online

Omg I was wondering what happened to my childhood. This is a summation of my life I think.
I did not count because I can't remember if I had even played them. I know I heard of most of them though.
|
I counted 116 games I've played, some of them were enjoyable, some not so much (couldn't bring myself to like Dungeon Siege at all for some reason), and it doesn't look like I'll like any of the ones I haven't played so far... plus it's missing some of the earlier stuff like Prince of Persia (I played that when I was 7). It's been one hell of a ride, quite the nostalgic image.
|
13 =\
i was more of a console person between the 1997-2008 period
|
Heh. 114 games played, of which 90 are at or before 2001. I didn't think I was that old. Or maybe I just need to buy a new computer so I can actually play something that's come out during the last 4 years. Then again, SC2 still runs mostly fine so why bother?
|
about 70
I didn't play lots of different game past 2-3years since my PC wasn't able to run them
|
82.
from each of the columns, 19, 14, 16, 12, 15, 6.
Dip in column two is from me being out of the country and away from computers from 97-99. Dip in column 4 corresponds to my misadventure with Linux for a few years. Those aside, the trend is slowly downwards
Those I didn't play from the first column I remember reading about in PCGamer or seeing in the store or whatever. Fond fond memories of column 1.
|
played 45 of them and finished 30 (like morrowind, diablo 2, baldurs gate 1 + 2, gothic 1 + 2 - these should count twice because I played them trought at least 2 times @_@)
|
About 60 scattered throughout the different categories, although much more of them pre-05 than after. I must be growing up, a lot of new games just don't interest me in the slightest. Or maybe they just suck.
Oh yeah I only counted games I completed or spent at least 10 hours on.
|
i miss halo & need for speed, burnout alot, why not there wtf ??
also missing Age of Empires I as that gamewas epic as well.
|
36, at a stretch.
I think it's partly because I'm relatively young, but I did see a lot of those games lying around our house. My dad must have had good taste or something.
|
148, but honestly there are a LOT of games I didn't beat, especially the earlier ones.
|
36.. but only counted games i have played through or at least - let's say - 24 hours of playtime on the whole.

108 for me. I have a few of the newer ones on steam, but did not count them, because i had no time to play them.
But the number will propably rise soon enough.
|
|
|
I stopped counting when I was over 130 and found out there are 2 more blocks >_> many of them are really good classics tho
|
Wow 77 more than I thought. And I am missing some must plays like System Shock

59. There goes my nerdy youth.
|
58, most of them I've played less than 5 hours...
|
wow 119. That seems crazy.
|
Didn't expect this many, came out to be 100 exactly from that list.
|
29, counting versions played on other systems, otherwise something like 15 or so. Not played many PC games until a couple of years ago.
|
20.
Most of them were demos or I never beat the single player and just played online o;
|
135
funny compared to my girlfriend's 11.
I actually really enjoyed that. I had forgotten about a lot of those games in the beginning.
|
57 and that is ONLY games before WoW. Havent tried any of those after
|
|
|
87 with like 90% before 2005 and 10% after... WoW killed me :'(
Thanks all those memories of wonderful times.
Boy I can see myself being 6-7 years old playing doom \o/
|
Only 21 of them. Some of which I didnt play on PC, but on consoles.
|
About 80, if I only count those I played for a reasonable time / beat.
What I found interesting, that I kept a fairly even of amount of games played throughout all of these years .
|
66 and almost everything from 2002 and before.
|
|
|
82 -- and like 85 if u count games u played over a friend's house that one time lol.
and some of those games i played on consoles.
|
70 all of them before 2002. They also should have included some old but classic games like syndicate and ancient TSR/SSI rpg (pools of radiance, champions of krynn etc). Was playing them when i was in kindergarden.

36. I feel inadequate, somehow. The ones I've played are pretty evenly distributed over the years though. Guess I just need to play more games.
|
32. and I am just 15 (nearly 16)
Some of them just once but oh god the nostalgia...
Civilisation... It was epic... Quake one... GOD THAT WAS SO AWESOME... The buther from diablo one gave me nightmares when i played it as an 2 year old... OH sweet jesus, nearly forgot about you red alert 1... Where did age of mythology and empires go? Just realized how much I loved those games...
Thanks for bringing the on the nostalgia. You're a champ
|
116 or so, though far more during those years that weren't on the list. Most to completion, if not multiple times, and most on the left side oddly enough. I'm a retro-gamer.
|
63, mostly before 2008.
Made me want to play these theme park / hospital games again...
|
|
|
46 . A lot on there that I tried but don't consider myself to have played.
|
70 games wow I played too much!
|
104. SO many good games missing from this list.
|
|
|
|
|
109. I haven't beat most of them though. Mostly left-middle. Hardly any of the far right ones.
|
63 - poll would be interesting, eg: a poll of "how many have you played?" "0-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-50, 51-71, 71-100, 101-150, 150+
|
23. I've actually never finished a long computer game that I can remember. I beat sc campaign, wc3 campaign, and hell ball.

167 played for me.

109, pretty evenly spread throughout the years.
|
I played....four. yeaahh.......
|
|
|
75ish. Mostly concentrated in the 1993-2001 ones.
|
I've played around 31, and not many for very long. I feel the need to fix this..
|
|
|
I have played 56 at one point or another, and played extensivly/beat 26 of them. Some of those I played on game systems, not the PC.
I think Minesweeper should be in the picture though.
|
31 for me, though quite a few of those I didn't play for very long.
|
All, but 18 of these.
Shame to say it - Monkey Island never grabbed my attention. I've seen it at a friend's house thou, but I didn't counted it.
|
85... and why is that flash game there in the last group? I played it for a long time, but I forget what it is called...
|
After a quick scan... 42.
|
|
|
63!!!! Although what I'm proud of is my playtime through CoD:MW, Counter-strike, CoD:MW2 and Counter-Strike:Source pretty much trumps any games I've played before, and most games I will play in the future.
|
About 75. Many of them were demos/shareware, or playing/watching a few hours at a friends, but I tried to keep it rather realistic.
Man, I recognized virtually every single one of those games though. It's amazing to see how many great games I missed, but also just the sheer number of ones I've heard of.
However, Some of the games seemed a little strange. The only ones I really noticed was on 2010 they had this 2D flash game (forgot what it's called). Sure it's a good game, but I can't believe they would put it up there, I wouldn't consider it that good (I never played all of it though, so maybe the full version was better). I played better flash games like Sonny (1 and 2) and transformice, and probably some others I forgot (Gemcraft is pretty good).
I don't know if It's just me, but I didn't notice Puzzle Quest on that list.
The other game I thought was strange was Dragon Age: Origins (2009, right?) got the big picture. Yeah it was a pretty hyped-up game, but I thought it was overall quite lacking. The 2 great things about the game was character creation and graphics, but the story wasn't epic, the plot was essentially linear, the AI was bad, combat wasn't anything special (potions fail), and skills/spells were a bit lacking. I felt they spent too much time on the graphics and voice acting. If they spent some of their time/money on more story plot, better quality gameplay, or even non-linear storyline, I think it would have been much better. I was hoping to get a baldur's gate 2, or even Knights of the old republic or neverwinter nights, but it fell a bit short of both of them, and nowhere near Baldur's Gate 2.
Maybe I'm partial, but I think Guild Wars (and I guess WoW even though I haven't played it - and it would be against HL2 though) should have big picture too.
|
145... which surprises me, as I would consider that I had played a wider variety of console games, as opposed to PC games, never having had a very good rig.
I played every single one of the year 2000 games. Apparently, that took so much time that it spilled into 2001, cause I haven't played any of those.
I would also agree with above. I loved Dragon Age to bits, but Street Fighter 4 is much more deserving of a big pic than it.
|
110.... instead of making me question my gaming habits it's just given me incentive to try some games I wasn't aware of or never got around to playing.

It's an indie game called VVVVVV.
|
117, there's this void in 2005-2007 where i played wow religiously. =/
|
121. 1999 and 2002 were damn good years
|
47, Surprising to me most are from the latter years. And when I play games, I play them till they are dead. I beat the game on the hardest setting, explore and find all the secrets/achievements etc.
|
|
|
55
I blame Starcraft: Brood War, Warcraft 3, and WoW for making me miss out on all those games
|
Where the fuck is Return to Zork?
|
oh the memories haha
45 with an even spread from '93 to '09 i suppose. surprisingly low to the rest of you people on here. Maybe cuz i really enjoyed my mario games
|
25 of them for less then 3 hours
about 6 of them for more than 10 hours
I didn't think I played much games but wow I guess i did lol.
|
What's this game? Caught my eye...
Around 50, and I'm absolutely shocked (much higher number than I expected)... that doesn't even count most of my 8bit real game obsessions. Luckily very few of those 50 I've played seriously. Most just count for the fact I've played them for a few hours to get an impression.
|
loooool^^
i played a poor 36 games out of hat list.
seems like i'm a gaming-beginner compared to you guys here^^
although i'm missing some awesome games à la kane&lynch, zelda: ocarina of time, Army of two 1 + 2, and a few more
|
94, just noticed that I haven't really played any new games (1-2 year old) that are in this list.
|
My God.. I just realised I haven't played any games released after 2004 (since Bloodlines)... except Oblivion.
|
120, 10 of those maybe after 2003
|

It's called VVVVVV, an indie platformer that came out this year I believe. Pretty fun.

28
But nearly all of them were released until 2003. Afterwards basically only WoW and Starcraft.
|
36
I don't like how DMC4 is there...
|
133
I remember almost all of them vividly. I also realized that I have been vividly remembering playing some of these games even when I was 3-4 years old.
|
Where's Ninja, Knight, Mario, Keen and Prince of Persia?:-)
I think I counted like 15 from that list.
|
i remember the times when we used to do all-nighters playing shogo,scbw and quake :D
ah good times
|
haha I have only played 37, so not much haha
|
27 just in the left column, stopped counting from there and looked at all the awesome covers Can't believe some of these games are that 'old' already.

Interesting compilation. I played 46, but mostly 2001 and prior.
|
78, more than i thought, funny how i have played everygame in 1996 slot a lot and almost none in 08-10. Have to blame SC and WC3 for that. Hmmm, maybe this tells i didn't have childhood, i had a computer. Still this really brought back memories, good times, thanks OP. QUAKE. Might have to dig up my rusted moldy old comp and play some >1998 games. Especially Quake and MOO2.
|
70, most between 1995 to 2000. That´s the golden age of gaming, from Warcraft to NOLF...
|
112
Most of them post 1995 so i missed the real oldschool stuff! Im kinda shocked that from 2002-2007 i played almost every single game in the list (+ several unlisted).

|
|
|
94, mostly pre 2006, hardly played any of the new titles so it seems
|
104, i noticed quite a few that i should've played, like fallout 3. Guess it's time for a single player game marathon.
|
44, most of them 1998-2004...
Wow, I was expecting much more
|

mostly before 2005.

59 , but haven't actually finished more than 1/3 of them

Games today, more often than not, suck. This is not a nostalgia thing. There are just less and less great games because as the industry has grown larger, developers get pushed around by their publishers--Activision-Blizzard, anyone? The final word is that cash rules, and creativity is stifled by profit above all other priorities. Games like Planescape: Torment can't come out today because they fear today's generation of ADD/instant gratification console-tards wouldn't be able to handle many lines of text that create a brilliantly rich story. Hell, Black Isle Studios was laid off while developing Baldur's Gate III and THEIR OWN Fallout 3. WoW is not a true roleplaying game. Hell, even Oblivion has weaker dialogue than its predecessors. Here's hoping the great remaining developers, like Valve and Blizzard, can put out games that will shake the shit out of the business that's been becoming more dumbed down year after year. Half-Life 3, anyone?

In 2001 and 2002 almost all of them, in total 50-60
|
48ish
Warcraft 3 and Company of Heroes kinda made me stop playing new games. =P
|
40, 20 in each decade. Probably 20 were just demos though and only 2 of these games have I completed (Starcraft, C&C 1 (this year lol)).
How many do I own is a better question: 3.
[Also, no AoE1??!]

129

55, a lot more than I would have thought
|
135 and I haven't even played a lot of those classics that I want to. I'd have a way higher number if the list was more extensive.
Shout out to Betrayal at Krondor. I can't believe it's been 17 years since your release.

26, vast majority of which were pre-2000
|
Its a pretty good list. Really happy that I see neat neat indie games like braid and machinarium on there. Both games are highly recommended.
|
holy crap i played a lot of the games there then realized i only finished indiana jones and the fate of atlantis
|
47. Most of my hours on Counterstrike
|
42. Many on the left side
|
I have played 55 of them, and many of them I have played like crazy alot... I have played endless hours of World of Warcraft, Heroes 3, Doom, Starcraft, Red Alert, Counter strike(9 years) etc...
|
75, but i think like 65 of them were pre 2005. Haha. After that most of them were games i've played a bit a friends houses etc. And MM3 isle of terra I just recently replayed, lol.
|
i added a poll, so you can tell us better ! should be interesting
|
|

I asked some of my friends to do a count on the list and it got me even more worried that I need to play allot more of these games.
they got 115, 67, 54 (he don't play that many games ) and my younger brother beat me with 89.
I also looked at the spread of my games and its pretty even I got 12 11 10 12 7 19 that 7 is because of WOW
|
94, probably beat around 75-80 of them.

After seeing the poll and the posts I dont know if I should feel proud or embarrassed by my number. I counted 150 that I both owned and played.
No wonder I own pretty much everyone at pretty much everything.
|
44
damn, so close to being in the next category.
|
I counted 71, and that is mostly composed of games in the right half of the picture (since I was born in 1992 and was too young for most of the older ones). I have played a lot of almost every game in the 2007 list.
|
I thought I was going to end up with like less than 10, but I got 44 at least. ^-^
|
51. Have not beat all of them though. Commander Keen takes me back and so does the Incredible Machine (so much fun flinging a bowling ball off a tread into a cat! :D)
Anyone else played "Raptor" before? Only played at my cousins house when younger but I was pleasantly surprised by the how much I enjoyed it when I played.
|
98, and a ton of that is the left side, towards the right side I get more involved in the MP of games and stop playing as many because I put more effort into the few.
|
Jagged Alliance 2 what a game! I have a game going on since 4-5 years i am at the final Area now, i only need to kill Deidrana ... will go back to finish it one day ... great game BTW, this picture is full of great game anyway!
