nice! I'm playing both of these as well.
Cool! Should be fun to compare notes, especially with Fallout, since we'll certainly experience it a different way.

Wanna make it a race? :lol:

Half-Life you should race in. Fallout...that is a bit more open ended. But you should definitely race through Half-Life.

And S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is one of my favorite games. It is totally worth playing through with both Stalker Complete and the Oblivion Lost mods...though not at the same time.

I just want to publicly say that I didn't mean anything by my second comment, and I wasn't trying to make a big deal out of it. I am also very sorry.

No, I was out of line. Just didn't want this to suddenly turn into a big discussion about my life and how I feel about games right now, even if I did start the ball rolling in that direction.

Ok, I'm in. I know most of mine aren't considered classics, but here goes:

Classics
1. Shatterhand (NES)
2. Sonic CD (PS3) I started but stopped on the electricity level
3. Final Fight (PS3 or Mame)
4. Cave Story (DSI)
5. Shadow of the Ninja (NES) only if I beat Shatterhand first

Not Classics that I want to beat before summer ends
6. Clash of Heroes (DS)
7. Captain America: Super Soldier (PS3) I started it so I should finish it
8. Thor (DS)
9. Ben There Dan That & Time Gentlemen Please (PC) started but now have a new PC and no save file
10. Xenoblade (Wii) maybe a end of 2012 would be a better goal

Shatterhand is fantastic. I may pick it up for a bit when you get to it.

You know what, I'm changing my list after all. Or rather, one game. I'm switching out Xenogears for:

Knights of the Old Republic - PC
Half-life - PC
Fallout - PC
Heretic - PC
Tomb Raider Chronicles - DC
Ecco the Dolphin Defender of the Future - DC
Rayman 2 - DC
Silent Hill 2 - PS2
Metal Gear Solid 3 - PS2
Final Fantasy 4 - PS1

No more stalling. Its high time I actually finished this game. The only version I own is the PS1 version so I'm going with that for now, but if I pick up the PSP complete collection sometime soon, that's the one I'll play.

Either way, its getting done.

So I have decided that next week I will start on both Super Metroid and FFIV, since I can play both of them on my PSP (Super Metroid through emulation, even though I have the SNES cart). So, if anyone here is looking to join in with me as I play either of those games - this would be the time! I am hoping to finish them both in roughly a week, though I am not sure how long FFIV is so that may be ambitious...

Oh, and I did add Orta to the list to replace Swordquest. Let me know when you Orta players are planning to get to it.

I'll try and finis up Seasons soon so that I can move onto FFIV after that. I was going to play Grim Fandango next, but if you're starting FF I see no reason not to join in, plus it knocks out one of my longer games on my list.

As for Orta, I was planning on leaving that one for a bit, as I want to play through a lot of my other games first.
