For many years, I've been trying to remember all the PC games I ever played and some sort of impression each left on me, so I could list and rate them. At first I started doing this on IGN, but as of the start of 2010 I moved over to MobyGames, which greatly aided me in remembering the more obscure titles, as well as the games played many years ago that didn't leave a particularly strong impression, which otherwise were very difficult to track down. It also allowed me to give more specific ratings, so I was no longer restricted to just an overall score, as on IGN. And then, of course, IGN decided to ruin the lists completely and I was even more thankful that I had moved the ratings over to MobyGames and also had the brief notes I had written for each game on IGN saved in a file. And then, in 2023, MobyGames also changed, removing those detailed ratings, which made me thankful that I had all but the most recent few ratings saved here and prompted me to think about coming up with and using my own system.
As a result, the games that I had already identified early on tend to be posted here with the ratings given on MobyGames, but the note that was originally posted on IGN, which may result in some inconsistencies between the ratings and the notes. There are also cases where the ratings reveal that they have been picked over a long period of time and often based on rather vague memories. And all but the most recent ratings are originally posted according to the system that was used on MobyGames and with the categories that were available there for each game, whether they were correct or not.
Remember that both the ratings and the notes reflect nothing more than my own opinion, which may differ greatly from yours. If you want more information about a game, clicking its name will take you to its MobyGames entry. If I have written a review for a game, then under the brief note you will also see links to it. In addition, the dates when I started and either finished or abandoned each game are listed if I know them, with notes adding more details if necessary.
