A new challenger approaches!

The initial discussion for this came at a time when I was absent, and I was otherwise a little busy to start thinking about this. I finally got around to thinking about this in the past week and finally came up with 100 games to choose. Among everyone participating, I have to assume that I have the widest gaming history. I have probably played in the realm of 1500 games in my lifetime. Luckily, I have an account on a backlog site and had a few games that I never owned in the back of mind, so coming up with a preliminary list wasn't especially difficult.

Unfortunately, that preliminary list had a little over 200 games. I began tiering the games, and I got 75 games that were definitely in while the last tier had about 150 lol. I agonzied for days what to cut and what to keep, but I realized that I could completely flip those final 25 spots any given day, and just went with what stood out to me. Just keep in mind that the standard deviation in the back portion is massive lol. I also find ranking stuff kind of difficult, so I wouldn't consider these to be set-in-stone rankings of mine.

Here are the platform breakdowns of my game. If I played a game for multiple systems, I put down either what I felt was the best version or what I played first:
Xbox 360- 18
PC - 17
SNES - 10
Xbox One - 10
N64 - 8
PS3 - 7
DS - 6
Gamecube - 5
PS2 - 3
3DS- 2
Xbox - 2
Vita - 2
PS4 - 2
PS1 - 1
Game Boy - 1
Android - 1
Switch - 1
Atari 2600 - 1
GBA - 1
Wii U - 1
Wii - 1

In addition, I also did a very broad genre breakdown, some of which I made my own judgement that might be disagreed on. I considered being more specific, but I felt that would take away some of the (probably negative) surprise:
Platformer - 15
Action-Adventure - 14
Puzzle - 12
FPS - 11
Racing - 10
Stealth - 6
Sports - 5
RPG - 5
Party - 5
Adventure - 5
Strategy - 4
Simulation - 3
Arcade - 2
TPS- 1
Card - 1
Beat 'em up - 1

I will get a few honorable mentions down in a bit. These aren't necessarily games #101, 102, etc, but they are among the final batch of cuts that I just wanted to talk about.
