Acme Playlist Maker

What Acme Playlist Maker does

Acme Playlist Maker helps you build, filter, and organize a personal list of games — by title search, by platform, or both together — then generate a ranked list you can download, copy, or share. It's built for the everyday moment of "what should I play next," or for putting together a real ranking of your all-time favorites without wrestling with a spreadsheet.

How it works

Filter the game database by title or platform, choose how many games you want, and generate a list — either evenly sampled across your filtered results or fully randomized. Click any tile to remove a game you don't want, then lock in the list to name it and export it as a text file, a clipboard copy, or a note you can paste anywhere.

Ranking criteria

When you're deciding what belongs on your own list, these five factors are a useful starting point:

• Gameplay — how the game actually feels to play, moment to moment
• Design — how thoughtfully levels, systems, and progression are put together
• Storytelling — whether the narrative or world adds to the experience
• Replay value — how much reason there is to come back after finishing it
• Innovation — what the game does that hadn't been done quite that way before

Frequently asked questions

Is this affiliated with any console maker or publisher?

No. Acme Playlist Maker is an independently published tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any console manufacturer, game publisher, storefront, or ratings organization.

Does it save my list anywhere?

No account and no server-side storage — everything happens in your browser. Use the download or copy option to keep a list, since closing the tab clears it.

Can I filter by more than one platform at once?

Yes — toggle on as many platform buttons as you want, and the filter includes games from all of them at once.

Is the game database complete?

It covers a curated selection of well-known titles across platforms rather than every game ever released. See the Corrections Policy if you spot something that should be fixed.
