Upcoming Together Retro Calendar

[executioner]

Those two are going to get shifted a bit as they will be moved to the RPG/Adventure branch of the club. I'll be posting a revised schedule soon.

I kinda lost track of what's coming next and the dates are off could you update the schedule?

Calendar has been updated.
I'm planning on sticking to the single path now.
I don't think we're ready for two games at once.

Looks good! I like how it's spread out to more or less a game a month.

So we are doing Dig Dug until the 23rd (I'll see if I can catch up with the backlog then), then Jet Set. I'll have a chance to catch up as I've already finished Castlevania, also Virtua Cop 1 and 2 I cleared them either under the default settings or very near to it. But I'll see if I remember. Nights I will replay even if I have finished it, because I only got Cs and I'd like to try my hand at getting all As.

Nintendo Castlevania? My side-scrolling platformer skills are lacking at the moment, so that should be brutally punishing.

I've been messing with Alien Hominid in the meantime, and it's killing my thumbs. I forgot how hard the default difficulty levels were.

[racketboy]

Yup -- we'll be starting the NES one today

[thecheeseeater]

Did I miss Snatcher? Oh well bring on the Castlevania!

[noiseredux]

the PS2 version of Nights Into Dreams is Japan-only. Which means I won't be able to participate. Blah.

The more I think about it, I'd like to voice my opinion on the Together Retro choices. I think that the TR gaming will go over better when the game chosen has been ported to several systems. I mean, when we did Dig Dug then pretty much everyone could play it in some capacity no matter what their system of choice, because there were so many ports/versions to choose from. But in the case of the upcoming NiGHTS, you have to have a Saturn (or Japanese-enabled PS2 and most likely expensive import) to join in on the TR fun. I'm just guessing that not as many people will get to play along this way.

[racketboy]

That's typically how I choose, but I chose NiGHTS partially because of Christmas NiGHTS since the holidays are coming up. Most future choices will be very platform-independant.
