How to launch a random installed game?

[MrL0G1C]

I have roughly 1000 games installed across 3+ drives, is there a way to launch a randomly selected game chosen from the installed games (not all ~4000 games)?

? Doesn't sound like a method to have the computer randomly launch a game from my installed games.

There's something very not random about that, it chose Skyrim about 3 out of ten times, the odds of that should be over a billion to one.

Don't know what to tell you. I just clicked 30 to 40 times, and got nothing double. As for the odds, no computer RNG is truly random, so they'll be a lot better than over a billion to one.

Meh, I've completed Skyrim and most of the quest-lines.

This isn't bad:

But it's not installed games, I don't think any website can do this, it has to be local software. CPUCores has a button to do it, but it's a tad expensive to buy just for that button, I'd buy it if it were on deep discount.

This looks promising:

...What a faff to install though, requires setting up other software first and like, stuff.

[edit] doesn't sound like it's just installed games anyway.

Did you ever end up finding a quality solution to this? You're in top searches for "randomized game launcher," we need a savior

If there was a way to add numbers next to the games in the library list, you could use anything, like random.org..... that would at least be easier to make, than the randomizer itself.
