tens of thousands more than likely and the list is still incomplete. heres one you wont find: d-day commander & chief (old ww2 rts), zorg (aka longest runnign text based rpg(still running btw)), there are others those two come to mind.

shattered horizons i also think is missing but im not sure.

Hmm... I've suggested a few in the past and they've put them up. I think there's a section or topic just for that purpose. So, nobody knows the exact number?

let me do a query for you select count(game_id) from game_database; There you go, I think that should just about do it. But seriously, I have no idea, but the query to find out (if you had the actual database) would be pretty much that.

Yeah, that's in the Tech Support Forum. If you ask nicely in that thread maybe the man in charge of game listings on this site will tell you. I'm guessing upward of 35,000.

Well, when you check Gamespot's game browser, there are a total of 1756 pages with 50 games on each page. That means there are a whopping 87800 games on Gamespot, but that number includes all multiplats.
