Time only ever moves forward (as far as we can tell), so while it's not surprising that we'd get here, it's still surprising that it doesn't feel like it's been that long.
A month and a half ago, we got our 50,000th map (https://www.vgmaps.com/forums/index.php?topic=4257.0), and submissions for this past year, especially in the calendar year of 2026 so far, do feel like they're more frequent. So we're still going strong.
24 years isn't a typical milestone, especially with 25 years (ΒΌ of a century!) coming up in "only" 365 days, but I still felt like recognizing it with a little puzzle of 24 maps. I was originally going to put the "24 best maps" but then I decided it'd be better to show a variety of platforms, so 16 different platforms with no more than two games on each are shown here.
How many can you identify?
