We review recent progress in the study of the large 
limit of gauge theories from lattice simulations. The focus is not only the planar limit but also the size of 
corrections for values of 
. Some concrete examples of the topics we include are tests of large- factorization, the topological susceptibility, the glueball, meson and baryon spectra, the chiral dependence of masses and decay constants, and weak matrix elements related to the 
rule in kaon decays.
