Nobody is going to play any of the LaserActive Sega or NEC PAC LaserDisc titles?

I'm looking forward to reading your reviews of all those games after you finish them.

I haven't beaten many (any?) '90s FMV games myself. By that I mean '90s games which utilize live actor FMV nearly exclusively to convey the gameplay. So this will be an unusual experience for me. I may not have the gaming chops to handle stuff this hardcore. I'll do the best I can though.

Huh, turns out I already have a few of these things. This would be a good a time as any to try them out. I'm thinking Phantasmagoria, but Harvester sounds like some fucked up kinda fun too.

I just realized that if we're being super-liberal with the definition of FMV games, then Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania IIDX count because they have some sorts of music videos, including a fair number of live-action ones.

Surely the PS2 and original Xbox versions I've been playing are old enough to count as retro. So... I guess I'll be unintentionally participating next month as part of my normal routine?

Elkin specifically said the FMV game choices are supposed to be from 1990-1999.

Ah, that just leaves me with DDR 2nd Mix or pre-IIDX Beatmania. :P

(I'm not going to seriously consider those as Together Retro games, even I can recognize a stretch)

Oh dude, you would dig harvester. I didn't like it, but it is beyond fucked up.

Is Bad Mojo also an FMV game where you play as a roach? I always equated it to Harvester in my mind for some reason.
