H - J Statistics

Well, here I am: nearly halfway through the NES library. If I continue at my current pace of one a day, at this time next year, I'll stillbe reviewing games, but I'll be close enough to smell the fresh air of freedom. There's a reason no one person has yet to officially do this (that I know of). I've wanted to quit at least fifteen times already. Reviewing every game in a console's library is not a task normal people should take upon themselves, unless they're ready to question whether they've ever enjoyed video games in the first place. Once the initial plateau feeling wears off and you're in the thick of the library, surrounded by gray cartridges, wondering if there's a way out, weeping bitterly, but persevering anyway, that's when you know 768 games truly (to quote the foremost rap scholar of the 20^thcentury, Dr. Dre) "ain't nothin' but a G-thang."

# of Games Played that Began with the letters H-J: Only 51, surprisingly.

# of games featuring Globetrotters: Just one.

# of awful licensed games: 19, including tripe like Hollywood Squaresand Jim Henson's Muppet Adventure.

# of 1-on-1 basketball games (as if those were ever a good idea): 2 – Hoopsand Jordan vs. Bird

The only puzzle game I've ever played to involve disembodied heads: Hatris

Games reviewed that were part of "The Original 18": Hogan's Alleyand Ice Climber

# of awful games based on "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade": 2

Games that should be given awards for how awesome they are: Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, Journey to Silius, and Jackal

Game that should be burned and their memory forgotten: Home Alone, Ikari Warriors II, and the game that currently has the most comments out of any game I've ever reviewed, Joe and Mac.

# of Games I Wish Were Good: At least 34.

As always, thanks for reading. Comments, praise, and criticism (maturecriticism) are always appreciated.
