Statistics for "D" and "E"



Statistics: I love 'em. You guys probably love 'em. As you know, after I've finished with a letter, I compile up a number of fun facts for people to look at. If you don't follow the site on a regular basis, it's a good way to catch up and see what you've been missing. If you do follow the site, it's like rereading a bunch of information you already consumed, but encapsulated within a single post! I combined the letters "D" + "E" because "E" only had four games. Expect this combining of letters to happen a lot more in the future.

I do believe the letter "D" has contained the most enjoyable games I've played by far. All the Dragon Warriors, Donkey Kong 3 (and the other Kongs, I suppose), Destiny of an Emperor, Deja Vu, hell, Dynowarz. Who would have thought I'd be so generous?

Here's the scoop:

Total number of games played that began with the letters "D" and "E": 56

The letter grade that got awarded the most: surprisingly, "B," with 20 times.

The letter grade awarded the least: "D." How ironic!

How many times did the Dragon Warriorgames contribute to the amount of "A"s awarded?: 4. All 4 Dragon Warriorswere awarded at least an A-

# of games that include the word "Dragon" somewhere in the title: 11. Urrbody loves dragons, I guess.

# of games I could stomach for more than 15 minutes: 39 (actual number may fluctuate depending on mood, busyness of day, and overall tolerance for pain – also may be completely inaccurate).

# of times I've wanted to quit this quest in the last two weeks: surprisingly, none. This quest has treated me (reasonably) well.

Biggest surprise: Destiny of an Emperor

Biggest disappointment:DuckTaleswhy couldn't it have been as good as when I was a kid?

Best overall game: Destiny of an Emperor (yup, it really is that good)

Worst overall game: Why choose just one? Dungeon Magic: Sword of the Elements, Dragon's Lair, Destination: Earthstar, Deadly Towers, Day Dreamin' Davey. If I had to pick just one, Day Dreamin' Daveybecause it was the greatest offense to my mind, body, and soul. Seriously, just jaw-droppingly bad.
