    Lets keep the list going until friday afternoon and then we'll randomize it and the person can come up with a game to feature on Monday. Does that sound sensible?

    Too sensible.

    It's just a list of awesomeness.

    If your name is on the list, you're awesome.

    You can play it if you want. Basically a game is chosen, a thread goes up and people discuss the game.

    Exactly... I don't have any time to actually play games any more... but I can endlessly waffle about them while sitting here in the office endlessly waiting for someone to get back to me!!! :mad:

    I add my name to all lists blindly, just in case it is a list of awesomeness and today it finally paid off.

    Yep. Some of us are going to name games so retro they haven't even been invented yet.

    Think a new thread with a Game of the Week: label to distinguish it from the rest. Then write about your reasons or experiences with your chosen game.Thanks what I'd go for.

    *so long as you're aware it's going to be Japanese, probably a PC Engine game and more than likely a SHMUP!**







    **or I could surprise you!***





    ***...and pick Dick Tracy for the C64. :D

    It's the greatest game ever made. I'd love to (seriously) have a pint with the folks who programmed it and ask "what the hell were you thinking!?".

    RE: Your comment. I know how you feel. Had one of those days myself. Thanks feck for company taxi accounts or I'd still be in work now waiting for the next sodding train home. :(

    If it's not a Neo Geo game I'll eat my own skid-riddled pants. :pac:

    Mr. Vengance has sensational taste in games though so I'm assuming it will be something mighty. :)

    Oh, responsibility!

    I'll give it a good old fashioned think and throw up something tomorrow.

    You're all lucky I haven't played this, or it would be the default choice:
