And finally, we have the honor roll of the top games of all time (the cutoff is the 1000-minute club). These year-end all-time totals are complete all the way back through the founding of the tracker in 2008.

Some reached these heights thanks to one lone gamer; some saw contributions from many different participants. But all have earned their place here, and none more so than our #1 game! May 2015 be the year that 999,999 shows up at last on that CRT.

Compared to last year, the membership of the top 10 itself remains unchanged, but some games have swapped spots. Pokemon Red jumped to #4, becoming the 4th member of the exclusive 5000-minute club, while Adventure moved up to #9 by a margin of 1 minute (!) over Q*Bert's Qubes.

The new thread for 2015 is now officially open. Thanks to all for a great year, and for all your contributions!

P.S. Hey, look who got his wish!

I can't believe that Windows 95/98 almost made it into the top ten system list. Oh well maybe next year.

I can't believe that the Jaguar CD only got 40 min. Oh well maybe it will get better numbers next year.

[BillyHW]

Very cool.

[karokoenig]

Ha! If I only had one, it would -- for a while I've had the weird urge to play Highlander, even though I know it's supposed to be a disaster.

 

And to all, thanks so much for your kind words! This whole project has definitely made me a more mindful/thoughtful player. I'm grateful to cvga for starting the ball rolling back in 2008.

I have one and all 13 games for it. Maybe I should try to get them all into the 1000 min club....... OK maybe not.
