Where Lunar Lander sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Lunar Lander lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 27ahead of 0% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 19ahead of 66% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
