117 (45%) were day 1 releases, and a couple more that missed the day 1 by a few days. For full date, check
the spreadsheet.
We also had
48 (18%) pre-2K games released, while the total number of games ten years old or more is

P.S. Considering the headache I've had the last few days, I fully expect my data to have errors. Feel free to report them, I may fix them.
P.P.S. I will continue updating the spreadsheet during 2018, but not sure if I'll keep doing it after that. It does take quite a bit of time, and there do seem to be a couple of sites that can get such data automatically. Let's see if anyone else steps up.
