The colors indicate what I have played (blue), run (red), or both (purple) while the intensity/darkness of a color roughly indicates the amount of play (lightest colors indicate a single session). Games played without a GM are blue as well.
High on my list at this point: Traveller, Gamma World, Apocalypse World, Risus(as a player), PDQ/PDQ#, Weird West RPG, more Microscope, more ICONS, and more Old School Hack.

Dang that's some ambitious record keeping, not to mention an impressive list of games played.
You are, most assuredly, a self-proclaimed game slut.
This is really interesting...and it looks kind of like Tetris.
Gurps had a long run.
No Traveller? (perhaps soon) No EPT? No RQ or Heroquest?(Pendragon though)...Gamma World?
Yes, I am a game slut. ;P
@Drune: Traveller and Gamma World are games that I have *owned* for ever. Back when I was in middle school and high school, I tinkered with them endlessly. But I never actually played them, which kind of bothers me.
I have almost no exposure to Heroquest and I have just started getting interested in EPT, thanks to Humanspace.
There is nothing wrong with being a slut for the right reasons, so long as you are actually enjoying yourself.
As for tracing my gaming history... that is an interesting concept.
Although I only started role-playing in high school, my experience mostly parallels yours, especially during our period of overlap between 1994 and 1999.
I've probably played more 1980s games, such as Star Frontiers, Top Secret SI, Palladium Fantasy, and Shadowrun, but you've tried more systems during the later 1990s and early 2000s, when I was mostly running D20 variants.
Now, however, I've also become a fan of indy, rules-light, and retro-clone games and enjoy running FATE. Here's to one-shots, miniseries, and gamer ADD!
@Grumpy: My only complaint is that I don't have enough time to play even more games. :)
@Gene: I mplayed one game of Top Secret and a friend used the Star Frontiers setting for a Gurps game. But no, I never played Palladium Fantasy or Shadowrun.
D20 Space 1889?
@Nero: Convention game using the D20 Modern rules set.
Risus Monkey said...Convention game using the D20 Modern rules set.
Dude, that's just wrong.
@Nero: I didn't run it and the GM is one of the best I know. But yeah, D20 Modern... not my favorite system by a long shot.
