Unless I'm mistaken somewhere, (oldest to newest)
1/2 Off, Pocket Cange, Balance Game 2, Stack The Deck, More or Less

Picking nits here, but really, would it have bothered you that much to just spend the quick amount of time needed to look it up yourself?  It's not even an obscure thing, it's something anyone with one of them newfangled internet browsers can find in about 5 minutes.

Do tell, how would you do it?

Yeah, nothing's jumping out at me as a real obvious place to go to look up the info easily.  There are several TPIR fan pages that list the games, but none that I can find that are absolutely chronological AND up to date.  

Golden Road has this page that lists all the games.  Since I knew there were about a hundred of them, I was able to search to find that the 102nd and presumably last one was More or Less, and then using the numerical rankings in a search, the results came out:

102: More or Less
101: Stack the Deck
100: Balance Game
99: Pocket change
98: Half Off

The last two took a while to find since '99' and '98' turn up in a lot of the references to calendar years.

So yes, doable, but hardly quick.  This place is supposed to be a place people can go to ask questions.  I'm not thrilled when they're belittled for doing so.

I'd imagine, with the "97th, 98th, 99th..." naming scheme used there, adding the appropriate suffix (in this case "th") would probably eliminate the false positives in the search.

I apologize for being so quick to hassle the original poster over the matter - admittedly sometimes I tend to forget that while information in a situation can be easy for one person to find, it may not be so easy for the other to find, hence the need to ask in the first place.

D'oh!

(...and I consider myself pretty good at doing this sort of thing...)
