If you wanted to do five games a week, it would still take over 10 years. I pictured myself on a never-ending 50 state road trip where scenic backroad jaunts were punctuated by bouts of emulation and writing, and it was all published on my site: EveryPS1game.com (which, as of this writing, is actually available).
