Gatorbox Presents: The 100 Best Games of All Time (commonly shortened to just The 100 Best Games of All Time) is a miniseries created by Gator Company. As the name suggests, the series catalogs the top 100 video games, however unlike many series like it the Gator Company list is differentiated by presenting itself as Draco's personal top 100. As such the project does not set out to definitively determine by way of critical reception, sales, or other conventional metrics the objectively "best" games of all time. Rather, Draco introduces it as a personal list upfront and states that he ordered the countdown by placing a heavy emphasis on what each game meant to him, how long he's played it, and how much enjoyment he received from it compared to others. Citing his nearly three decade history creating gaming-related content in some form, as well as having worked in the industry to varying degrees in that time, Draco says he believes he has a unique insight into the world of gaming and that while the 100 games on his list might not objectively be the best, "they are certainly worth your time to experience at least once".
100 Games has been announced as a Gatorbox project dating as far back to 2019, however it has remained locked in a sort of "development hell" for most of the time that has passed since. The series has been included in every "The Year in Review / The Year Ahead" production post each January with varying degrees of progress noted each time, however in 2026 Draco stated that he is adamant about refusing to procrastinate and wants to have the entire script of the show done by the end of the year. 100 Games shares a set with Articles of Conflagration, another offline series, though the iconic purple checkered wall and Twilight Foundry sign seen in Articles of Conflagration are covered with a black curtain and in their place the set's centerpiece is now a large "100" illuminated by a custom-built lighting rig.
Games that are known to appear on the list somewhere (by way of Draco referring to them indirectly or offhand) include: Gone Home, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Super Off Road, and Robot Arena 2.

Draco has stated that depending on how the series is received and well it performs that there is the potential for the show to be adapted into an expanded edition via a book that shares the same title as the show. There has been no significant progress on the book as the series itself has taken full priority, though Draco has mentioned that he plans to use the show's script as a starting point as something to flesh out and expand upon in further detail should the book project go forward.
Alternatively, since the main episodes of the series were written with length considerations in mind, Draco has also suggested a spin-off series (100 Games, 100 Memories) where each of the games from the list are given their own dedicated episode where Draco dives a little deeper into his personal experiences and memories with the game in question and elaborates more on why it made the list as opposed to the 50/50 balance of critical/cultural impression and personal anecdotes that the main series maintained.
