A Game of the Week Club for 2014?

[turboswimbz]

What would a game of the week list be without a bonk / PC genjin week?
That's my early vote.   

January 29-February 4: Bonk's Adventure (roflmao)

OH cr*p mobile misread. Disregard my stupity.

Even though I am too busy to play these GotM games, I'd like to submit Pyramid Plunder as an entry, since I see the final entry is approaching fast and it's a great game which is perfect for this format.

You can buy it brand new from here for only $42:

Pyramid Plunder would be a great addition!

[BlueBMW]

Parodius Da would be a nice one

I read that you needed more submissions.  So I have a couple that most should possibly already have to play.

JJ & Jeff
Spriggan
Gate of Thunder
Buster Bros.
another vote for Galaga 88/90
Super Star Soldier
Boxy Boy (yes,  Boxy Boy)

I'm guessing there are a lot of people here like me. We've got so much going on in our grown-up lives that sometimes we're in the mood for gaming, but we come home tired after work, look at our collections, and can't quite commit to anything in particular. Then we just say to hell with it and do something else until bedtime.

So true.

Sound good?

I am in

Crap, I better get on this.

So, remembering that everyone gets one submission, what should next week be? It probably ought to be something that everyone has so that nobody is left out for lack of time to get the title. Also, this is just my opinion, but maybe we should space out our shooters a bit.

So how about something like this:

April 30 - May 6: Ys Book I (SamIAm)
May 7 - May 13: Pyramid Plunder (Black Tiger)
May 14 - May 20: Galaga 90' (nullity)
May 21 - May 27: JJ and Jeff (geise)
May 28 - June 3: Gate of Thunder (someone else)

I haven't used up my submission yet, so this may work nicely, because I'm sure just about everyone who has a CD system has this game. Even though it's RPG-ish and we've been avoiding those, Book 1 only of Ys doesn't take long to clear, IIRC.

Unless a lot of people object, this is what I will probably go with in two days. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Why space out the shooters? It's about an eighth of the whole library of games and of the 700 or so other games probably 1/3 of those are barely playable without Japanese skills so it's understandable why there's a lot of love for shooters
