Sounds like you want to use a counter to get the iteration.

put 1 into N
repeat for each line L in fld "gameList"
  put number of items of L into T
  if T <> 5 then
    answer "Incorrect number of items." titled "Error"
    set the hilitedLines of fld gameList to N
    exit to top
  end if
  # do other stuff here
  add 1 to N
end repeat
