Heads up!

Simple list chronicling the games I've played and beat along with few extra details. Order is somewhat arbitrary. Arcade games like Space Invaders, Pacman, etc that are infinitely replayabe with no definitive end are excluded.
*All home/handheld consoles are played through virtual means (on a Linux machine) unless otherwise mentioned.
