    There was one called guessthe.game that I moved on from after some dumb AI round they did for April Fool's and a bunch of weird stuff they did on the site to make it worse. This doesn't function the same way but it's kinda fun and could replace that for me.

      I missed the April Fools round luckily*, and so still do guessthe.game. At least they finally got rid of the Christmas snow effect. It has a modern games bias so I have not heard of half of them...

      I missed the April Fools round luckily*, and so still do guessthe.game. At least they finally got rid of the Christmas snow effect. It has a modern games bias so I have not heard of half of them (I see "PS3 exclusive, FPS, 70% metacritic" and go skip, skip, skip, never heard of it). But IMO modern is anything after Dreamcast/PS2 :-P This one's different enough to do them both though. Here you have to guess the hours and rating of 3 games and get a score out of 300, so even if you have no idea you can make an educated guess. I got 52/300 today, so, erm, yeah. I'd only heard of the Mario game and haven't played any of them.

      I do tradle, guessthe.game, where taken world and where taken USA daily. I tried stopping but my son is like "have you done the 'les games today?!? I got where taken world in one!". At least with the world ones I feel like I'm maybe learning some geography.

      * does anybody still like April Fool's? they did one on Retro Achievements and it annoyed half the users too.

        Connections' April Fools was funny. I wish I'd seen if Murdle did something for it.

    A cute little daily game, a bit late to the Wordle/Connections craze, but just another one to add if you're into these types of games!

      The estimates are going to be averages of whoever actually submitted times to the site. So you have go into it with that mindset. So it's not about what is the right answer, but what most people...

      I've never finished SM64, even the regular story. I played it on the Switch again a couple of years ago and must have played for longer than 12 hours. I got stuck on the clock IIRC and gave up. 6 hours is nothing, I'd still be pulling Mario's face around on the title screen.

      You have to consider the inherent disadvantage of using an actual N64 controller, though.
