Thanks Becky - I should have said that was my intention all along!!
Anywho, here tis. Another year, another list, and a new favourite. Not surprising perhaps, but I still haven’t played it!
More surprising is that I remain the only Isabelle fan. I have no doubt had you played it, it would be in the Hall of Fame, so I think next year I will put it there anyway. People won’t be able to help but play it then
.
What else? Sherlock Holmes seems to have become our favourite series
, and perhaps 26 Nancy’s is enough
. Old and venerable games continue to do well, perhaps in part due to the GoGs of the world
As usual, two lists follow, one numerical, one alphabetical. I have started the numerical list with the Hall of Fame games, and included the Hall of Fame games in the alphabetical list. They are marked **.
I have used full as well as alternate titles where I have known them. I no doubt missed a few. In the numeric list, I have tried to use actual titles, the games on my shelf having the final say (including those that are numbered).
In the alphabetical list, I have taken some liberties with names to get series together where possible. It wasn’t always possible, so on a couple of occasions I have marked a game as a sequel.
I have numbered the series games to assist people with the order in which they were developed. They may not be sequels, just additional games in a series.
It can get confusing - there are a number of Dracula games, some in a series and some not. Ditto some others. Fan games complicate things a little further. Hopefully it is reasonably clear.
I no doubt mucked something up/missed an alternate title/spelt something wrong/took too long. Apologies for the latter, but not the other things.
Awesome thanks to Chief who verified the count, and if the count is wrong, that’s my fault.
It’s always fun and many thanks to you all.

flotsam & Chief!
to GameBoomers, Tincup2.
It must be caught in some game vortex. I am sure it will be corrected. 
Thanks, flotsam.
