Title: One quarter to play them all
Post by: Smittydc on January 29, 2004, 03:06:34 pm
Has anyone ever tried to play EVERY mame game?  That means all the different mods, all the mahjongs, etc.

What's a fair standard?  1 quarter for each game?  With a good faith effort at actually playing the game?

How long would it take?

well i just calculated if you played every game for about 4 min on average, it would take about 300 hours. i figure some games youre good at so youll last maybe like 6-7+ min and some you will just suck at so 4 sounds about right. i can say ive played like 30% of the games.. most of them look crappy and boring though so the 30% ive played are all the ones that look fun to me

Howard_Castro has played them all.  But then again, he's a MAMEDEV.

Out of the thousands of games that have been created, an awful lot of those were bootlegs or knockoffs of the good games, and the rest were just...awful.
