Every finished pile leaves a map of gaming memory: the reflex answers, the eras that dominate, and the places where recall slows down. These figures come from real, completed Name 100 Games runs—not surveys or generated articles.

The games that refuse to be forgotten

Ranked by the share of qualifying runs containing each title. A game can appear only once per run, so this measures piles containing the game—not raw repetitions.

03 · The hundred-step climb

Recall gets heavier near the top

Each step is ten games at the median pace, so the staircase is the typical run. The haze on a step is its longest single pause.

Games 1–10: 0:47, longest pause 0:11, reached at 0:47.
Games 11–20: 0:49, longest pause 0:12, reached at 1:39.
Games 21–30: 0:51, longest pause 0:12, reached at 2:33.
Games 31–40: 0:53, longest pause 0:13, reached at 3:30.
Games 41–50: 0:55, longest pause 0:14, reached at 4:31.
Games 51–60: 0:57, longest pause 0:14, reached at 5:32.
Games 61–70: 0:58, longest pause 0:15, reached at 6:32.
Games 71–80: 0:59, longest pause 0:15, reached at 7:35.
Games 81–90: 1:01, longest pause 0:16, reached at 8:39.
Games 91–100: 1:02, longest pause 0:16, reached at 9:46.

05 · The recurring deep-cut crate

Rare, but not a one‑off

Each of these turned up in about one run in a hundred: rare enough to surprise, but never just once.

How original is a pile?

The median completed run has an average title overlap of 10.8%. The most original 10% average 7.6% or less.

Methodology

We scan at most the latest 5,000 candidate standard SOLO/100 runs under the current rules version; 3,427 qualified for this report. A qualifying run must contain exactly 100 distinct normalized game titles with ordered timestamps and a duration between ten seconds and 24 hours. Internal test users, Daily, Live, Twitch, Ultra, Perma Death, incomplete, malformed, and exact duplicate timelines are excluded.

A “run” is not necessarily a unique person: 3,083 sample runs were guests and 344 belonged to accounts, while repeat attempts can remain in either group. Frequencies therefore describe completed runs, not the percentage of all players who remember a game.

Each climb step is the median time for that ten-game stretch. Its haze first takes each run’s longest single pause within the stretch, then uses the median of those maxima, so one abandoned browser tab cannot dominate the result. A deep cut must appear in at least two runs and at most 1% of them. Release-era percentages use only answers with a known year; failed optional metadata lookups never remove a game from any other count. No rejected speech text or audio is used here.

Game rankings are cover-driven: current catalog artwork is used to fill older run metadata, and titles still lacking a cover are omitted from visual ranking slots. Those titles remain in the aggregate run, answer, uniqueness, timing, and era denominators.
