In the Duck’s previous Listmas post, I listed a group of games that I played 10-19 years after their release dates.

Listmas 2017: Yup, Even More Snowy Levels!
Listmas being what it is, I’ve always tried to do at least one list a year that’s somewhat in keeping with the season. As a resident of the Midwest, this is a season that’s usually defined by snow and lots of it. Once mid-November hits, it’s a subject that’s always on our minds in some…
