What is this?

Recently, while mulling over a bunch of possible adventure game purchases, I suddenly thought hmm, I have so many unplayed adventures still sitting around, perhaps I should try some of them before buying even more?

And so, a purchase moratorium until I've tried and/or finished at least a few of them, and this the chronicle of my playing.

The full list of games (bold played, otherwise unplayed) resides here.
