Add an adventure game in February maybe?

I didn't put an adventure game since we have Phantasmagoria in the Oct double-feature.

So yeah, we need to figure out Feb and Dec.

We need to figure out if we want PSO or FFXI.

We need to figure out if we want Metal Gear or Oddworld.

We need to figure out WHICH Monster World game.

We need to figure out if you all hate everything included and we need to start from scratch.

There's already Phantasmagoria, but uh...

If it's not too late to throw in another nomination... what about Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures?

Dirt cheap, unfairly maligned, interesting, and I'd imagine that most people never bothered playing it because of its reputation.

It's got ports on at least the SNES and Genesis and would be super easy to pick up for the majority of our members.

List looks awesome so far. I really hope we end up playing PSO in January.

Maybe Frequency could be added to one of the empty slots? Seems like it was pretty groundbreaking as a music/rhythm game, and was sort of the forefather of Guitar Hero/Rockband I believe? Plus, its cheap, its on the ps2, which a lot of people seem to have, and it offers a experience unique to itself, as well as a challenge I have not found in any GH game.

[Jmustang1968]

Can't say I am a fan of the list besides Lost Vikings and D&D beatemup. But then again, I haven't participated much in the past anyway.

[ZeroAX]

I nominate PSO just cause most people probably haven't played it. I'm guessing though a modern version and not the dreamcast original?

And of course we will play an oddworld game. The better question is should we play Oddysee (I just got why it's spelled wrong ) or Exodus?

[dsheinem]

Yeah, I don't care for that list. I also think the exercise of either listing the top vote getters only in a post or suggesting calendars gives the impression that we've already started to come to some conclusions and possibly cuts off additional discussion, nominations, endorsements, etc.

[mjmjr25]

Which DnD game? I assume (hope) Shadows over Mystaria?
