Well I've also compiled some stats from the full list. I already shared the stats on the guessing game so I'll leave that out now.
Platform statistics:
Under here are some statistics like the amount of games from the main list by platform (counted by a game's original platform only), for each platform I own. The number of games in a "franchise" includes all games regardless of genre or sub-series. The big take-away is that both Nintendo and the 90s decade claim about half the list, while the PC also takes a large piece of the pie. Not really that unexpected since those have obviously also been around longest.

List statistics:
Here are some statistics from the main list like most featured genre, or highest new game. "Median game" means this is the 'middle game' by age in the list; there's as much games newer as there are games older in the list. Zelda is the big winner, it's the most featured franchise and 'The Legend of..' is also the most featured (sub-)series, of course because every Zelda entry is from the main series whereas Star Wars and Mario entries are from more than one series.
