I still don't think this has 101 games - I really should count them, but to what end, really? The overall structure for this game was clearer to me - you earn coins by playing games, with a huge bonus if you hit a certain goal. There's a long list of games for which there are no details other than the name. You have no idea what the game is! As far as I can tell the games aren't organized in a meaningful way - they all appear on a "left-right" strip you can scroll through (it also wraps around) - with game on the right side getting increasingly more expensive. So, like many, many games (that post-date this one) you have to unlock the mini-games by playing unlocked mini-games. Playing this reminded me a lot of Warioware - each game in this collection i short, simple, one-note, etc. And the game is "interesting" to the extent that there is enough variety to keep you going. So, rather than play one game over and over - you play until you get bored, move on to the next one and so on...it's a collection of disposable mini-games.
