My Lifetime Challenge

Daerphen’s challenge Life of Daerphen really inspired me (thank you!) and I spent whole day going through my Steam and GoG libraries to find suitable entries for my own little challenge! :D As I always struggle to find room for games from GoG this is an excellent opportunity to put them more in the spotlight. <3

I have sorted out my Steam games via the same tool as Daerphen. As for GoG games, I checked every game and made a sheet of years they were released in (color marks corresponds with BLAEO sorting). After that we (with my soulmate) picked one for each year! Some were quite limited with only one game, others on the other hand had almost too much to pick from. ;)

I will be reasonable so I don’t assume that we would complete the challenge this year. I just hope that we are gonna be a little bit quicker than in the ABC challenge from 2019. ^^

Oh just manage to get 1 game for my year. Gabriel knight 3. All those early 2000 games I own are sequels, here’s thief and guilty gear and all these other sequels

Kyrrelin

That just mean that you have to buy something new from those years! ;D

Cece09

Well you made me consider doing one and I learnt there’s a font with my name! Kinda have to do it now and use my font

Kyrrelin

That must have been fate! XD

Daerphen

Welcome to the (endless) party. Have much fun.
Really cool games you picked. Some of them also on my list and some I already tried or beaten.

Now I just notice that I sneaked in a way of getting to know the age of our community :D

Kyrrelin

Yeah, thank you. XD
Thanks! Can’t wait for them. Most of the games are completely new to me, but few are games from my childhood. :3

Haha, you are right! XD We will see how many are gonna fall into your trap. ;)

Cece09

Yep whos the old sucker that has to play the most games

Jekofob

No games from the year + extra after I was born

I just walk myself out…..

Traqie

D: Adding games from GOG seems like overkill. Good luck!

Kyrrelin

Nah, it’s a motivation. ;)

Kyrrelin

I have made some changes to GOG selection:
2013 - swapped Buldur’s Gate (will play it on Steam) for Spelunky
2021 - swapped ENCODYA (will play it on Steam) for Narita boy
