I counted 94. There were still bunch of games I've been planning to get to eventually, but I've just had the time to get around to playing them.

63 assuming remasters/remakes count. If we count games that I've watched a lot of but not played myself it's about 100.

So which 78 games weren't honored in Mario Party: The Top 100?

I've played all of them but the MMOs. I even played Zork in my game history phase lol.

175/178

Ultima Online
Everquest
World of Warcraft

Only maybe 100 at most of these deserve to be on this list. I get it was made as an amalgamation of previous recognition, but there are some games I might call bad here.

I didn't count, but it felt like I'd played about half of them as I scrolled down the list.

77, but there are a few that I just played for like an hour at a friend's house (like Mario Galaxy) that I didn't count. Probably like 85ish if I include anything that I've played for at least one second.

I actually like this list format since it goes through each year and mentions the notable titles of that year.

Not all games age well. But its kinda important for gaming history , To know what exactly was considered good/impactful in each era.

Who made this list, it seems so random lol
I got 80 in any case

Its not really random , its sorted by release date. Just click on the link. Its just the top games picked for each year compiled into a list.

For example 2018 isn't added yet. But If i were to take a guess it would be GOW and RDR2 since they both received a lot of awards.

75, more than I thought. If you're talking about actually completing them it'll be down to 30s i think.

About 80. It's interesting seeing that going in order by release, there was long time gap where I didn't play games for several years and missed out on a lot of Nintendo stuff.

102, I'm kinda surprised that I thought half of them were not that good (but that's mostly because I was revisiting older games).

110 as far as I can think of. Some of the older games I may have played but don't remember by name, and some games I may have counted because they're part of a series and I THINK I've played that one, but I could be wrong.
