Yay! N3 was on there, I heard a while back that there was a sequel announced for it, hope I see some news about it soon.

i think there were a few copouts on there...but it's only to be expected. I almost think you just started thinking 'say, these games have numbers...why not?;

that opening was one of the funniest things i've read today.

68 was my favorite.
This must have taken some time, good job.

You guys really dug deep into the archives to find some of these. Well done

a couple of those were a bit of a stretch, but that list was more awesome than I could've imagined.
