Listed below are all games that I can remember owning and playing, or which are currently in my library. There are 89 games in total, 58 of which are still pending completion: however, 33 of those were free, and some of these have never even been installed.

Of the remaining 56 games, 31 (~55.4%) have been played to completion (at least to my own satisfaction) and all but three of those completed were released before 2000.

I have also played, or watched my brother play, various Sierra games in the King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest and SWAT, Quest for Glory and Space Quest series, but these aren't included since they weren't mine and at this point I'm uncertain which ones I played (or to what extent).

Comprehensive guides
These are comprehensive guides to which I've made any contribution, however minor (or even singular, in this case).

I've already played this to 100% completion, so I'm unlikely to make any further contribution (I simply reorganized its Table of Contents).

Current guides
These are guides to which I've made any contribution, however minor (or even singular). I'm currently focusing on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and I'll continue to do so until I judge it to be comprehensive. Ideally I'll do likewise for its sequel and every other guide to which I've made any contribution, although that may be overly ambitious (since I haven't completed a single guide yet).

I've played Diablo II, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Torchlight quite extensively.

Pending games
These are games I haven't played to completion (at least to my own satisfaction) and to whose guides I'm most likely to contribute in the future, particularly if I'm unable to find existing resources which cover everything I needed or wanted to know while playing. However, I'm less likely to create a guide which doesn't already exist, or to contribute to one if a game isn't currently in my possession or I cannot otherwise run it.

I'm also less likely to contribute if the game was free...

I'm trying to maintain a moratorium on buying new games until I've eliminated or at least reduced the number pending, but unfortunately I don't seem to be able to pass up a free game (or even a bargain: buying a Star Wars bundle in May 2015 was a serious lapse), at least if it was previously sold at retail.

However, I don't feel any compulsion to write guides for free games (or even play them), although given my interest in BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I may eventually be tempted by Dragon Age: Origins and Jade Empire; I may also be tempted by Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 since I've bought and played earlier games in those series.

Completed games
These are games I have played to completion (at least to my own satisfaction) and to whose guides I'm least likely to contribute in the future, particularly if one hasn't already been created.

My grounds for completion are completing the game at the highest (sensible) difficulty level without cheating, and not feeling any need to replay the game in order to explore anything missed on any previous play-through.

Technically, Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth were only completed on Ultra violence and not Nightmare! (enemies re-spawn) but I'll only revisit those games in the highly unlikely event that I complete or abandon all current and pending games that weren't free, and get the urge to play them again (the release of Doom (2016) has made me a little nostalgic, but so far that's not been enough).

Wii Sports
Technically I won't consider Wii Sports completed until I've been awarded all platinum medals for Training with both hands, and I only have 8/15 with my left and 7/15 with my right. However, it's been years since I've made any effort to improve on that.
