A dot is a recalled game
Larger games appear in more qualifying completed piles. A title counts at most once per run.
The collective gaming mind
Games form
constellations.
Every dot is a game somebody pulled from memory. When people repeatedly name two games near each other, they attract. The clusters are not genres we assigned—they are the paths real players take through gaming history.

Communities are detected from the weighted network. No genre, franchise, or publisher labels decide them.
The map uses the same qualifying sample as the public Name 100 stats: current-rules SOLO/100 completions with exactly 100 distinct ordered titles. Internal tests, incomplete modes, malformed timelines, and exact duplicate runs are excluded. Pair strength is normalized by each game’s overall popularity so ubiquitous answers do not connect to everything merely by being common. No audio, rejected speech, or player identity is used.
