Game of the Week: Your Interest = I Restart It

[_joshuaTurbo]

I nominate Hyper Wars!  Hardly anyone has played it, and it's a cheapie on 'tehBay'.  You need a super system card or Duo to play it.

Good luck!

Oh so many would be good, but I'm going to pick a pointless game few people ever talk about.  Drop Off - aka DROP ROCK HORA HORA.




 A strange data east arkonidish clone.  It should be at least tried by more people I think.   O:)

Totally down for this, and I think it's a great idea to get people exposed to new games and give us all a reason to fire up our systems.  I'd be happy to get people playing the underrated World Court Tennis, but I'd like to try playing a maligned game like Deep Blue and try to find the good and charm in it.  Or maybe an old friend in Fantasy Zone.  I'm down for a bunch, anyway.   Let's say World Court Tennis for my first one.

I figure rather than picking an old favorite I'll nominate a game I haven't touched in a long while to give myself an excuse to play it again.  How about JJ & Jeff?

I have not played this game in years. And by "played" I mean scratched my head.

WORTH IT FOR SOUNDTRACK ALONE.

seieienbu, is JJ & Jeff your final choice? Sorry to be such a stickler, but if people don't make committed statements, we risk going through time-consuming cycles of retractions.

-------------------

By the way, guys, you may recall from last year that I wrote up little introductory blurbs for every thread. I don't exactly mind doing that again, but this is inevitably going to lead to low-substance blurbs. I would really like it if each submitter would write the blurb for his or her game. That will definitely get more interested in playing than another round of me going "How about this game here? Sure looks nice. Let's try it, eh?"

You could approach your blurb in a number of ways. Explain why you chose it...Hype it up like you're writing for the back of the box...Threaten people who haven't been playing...Anything and everything is fine. Just try to get at least 100 words, and probably no more than 400 max. Save your deepest comments for later in the thread.

Listen to music, watch robots fight.  There is no reason not to "Play" this one!! 

[jtucci31]

I hate to do this to you, but could I possibly change my submission to Atlantean? Would love to see more people playing and talking about that!

And if not, someone else should submit it

[sirhcman]

why no Darkwing Duck? I vote Darkwing Duck

[VenomMacbeth]

If ever we get to do more than one gotw, I'd like my next one to be Shubibibman 2

[SamIAm]

Well, you'll just have to keep that in mind for when the "reset" comes around.

By the way, kudos to lukester for writing the blurb in the first GOTW. I hope that everyone will do that. I really will result in higher-quality blurbs.

[Otaking]

I nominate Hana Taaka Daka!?
One of the most under-appreciated PCE games.

I nominated it in the old GotW but it didn't get accepted for some reason, cant remember why.

[seieienbu]

Yeah, JJ and Jeff is my final choice.  I'm glad these are back; I'll definitely participate in (at least) every one that I own.
