Ideas for a top 9
Rename the grid and make it about anything: top 9 games of the year, top 9 Nintendo games, top 9 RPGs, top 9 games I played as a kid, or top 9 hidden gems. Add a year to your search to find a specific release — for example doom 2016 or god of war 2018.
Search the way gamers talk
Type games the way you say them: acronyms (botw, rdr2, bg3), nicknames (melee, silksong, new vegas), numbers either way (ff7 = ffvii), remakes (re4 remake) and typos (skyrm) all find the right game.
Questions
How is a top 9 different from "9 games that made me"?
A top 9 is simply your favorites, ranked or not. "Made me" grids are more personal and often include games you would not call your favorites today. Change the title before downloading to match the one you are making.
Can I make a top 9 for a specific year or console?
Yes — edit the grid title (for example "Top 9 games of 2025" or "Top 9 PS2 games") and search for the games. Adding a year to the search, like "doom 2016", picks the right release when titles repeat.
Can I pick more than 9 games?
Yes. Use the + button next to the title to go up to 16 games. Past nine the grid switches to rows of four, with a shorter last row centered (a full 4×4 at sixteen), and the downloaded image uses the same layout.
Where does the game data come from?
Titles, release years, platforms and cover art come from IGDB.com, covering 60,000+ games.
