A Chronogaming Directory
chronogaming (n.)
(coined in 2005 by Mezrabad on a blog on atariage.com)the sequential playthrough,
over a prolonged period,
of a set of games,
defined by system, publisher, series or genre,
in chronological order of release
This is a list of all the documented chronogaming projects I could find, whether they are complete, ongoing, or dormant. Blogs, podcasts and videos are included, but no livestreams.
I've broken the list down into console generations as Wikipedia defines them. Many, including me, have reservations over the usefulness of this taxonomy, but in this case I'm using it to add convenient section breaks in what would otherwise be a long unbroken list. At the bottom, there are additional sections featuring those who are chronogaming non-console platforms or specific game genres.
If you know of other projects that fit the definition above, please let me know.
