First off...yes, I know making a list of your game collection with categories, grades, and comments is about THE nerdiest thing you can do. But this has a purpose...if I'm inviting 3-10 people over for games, it can be nice to let them know what I have rather than relying on the old standbyes or my own recollection to pick what to play next.

And I do loves me them multiplayer games... it's just a fun way to socialize and compete a bit.

So here it is...not neccesarily exhaustive, but I think I got pretty much most of them. Sorted by system, then sorted and ranked by how much fun I'd say my gaming group has had on it. It really wasn't as much work as it may look.

Some Games I have that want to try in a group: M.U.L.E. on the NES emulator...extremely well regarded strategy, resource management, auctioning game-- tried it once but it got a little confusing.

At some point I really want to get 4 GBAs together and get that 4 player Legend of Zelda game.
