2011 Together Retro calender

[jfe2]

I would probably push RPG back to February. It's a month after Christmas, and its cold, so people will have more time to put in the hours required by most RPGs. Also, I demand a 2D platformer category, as well as a "remake" month, where we play a remake of a classic game.

I would quite like a pinball month. Other than that, I have no particular ideas. Run 'n' Gun, Puzzle, 2D platformer (or perhaps 3D, just for a change), and turn based strategy games would be nice too.

[noiseredux]

pinball is interesting...

guys please make month-long calendars like I did to sort of "vote."

Jan: Adventure (zelda/neutopia style)

son action-rpg then?

[alienjesus]

I guess so. I dont think of them as ARPGs exactly, as that seems more like the likes of the Secret of Mana series. But now isn't the place to get into the whole is zelda and RPG debate, thats been WELL covered on another topic XD

Maybe Golden Axe Warrior would be a good game to try for that . I've heard good stuff. Golvellius would be good too, but its on far less systems i think

Jan: RPG (cold weather + winter break for many students/faculty)

May: Adventure
Jun: FPS
Jul: Beat 'Em Up/Brawler/Hack-n-Slash
Aug: Platformer (ideally something with a 2D + 3D version)

Dec: some hard to define game - why must everything fit in a genre?

Am I really the first to suggest an FPS? Have we ever done one?
