Games with an undefined time for Hours to Beat, like many FPS games, were set at the overall average of 11.2 hours. Likewise, replay value was not calculated. Some older games have become so rare that they still carry a significant price for the actual cartridge, but these games also have widespread availability for free digital downloads.
