Works for me. I will hold off on that one until July.

So Ack said I had to do this, but I will only be trying to do a list of 5:
1. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - PC
2. Adventures of Lolo - NES
3. Back to the Future - PC
4. Stacking - PC
5. either Battlekid or Blaster Master - either way itll be a long run.

If I can get through those I will add more NES and PC games. My goals it work through the backlog faster than I add, but that is a bit of a fools errand.

Ill know soon, if my old man is going on vacation with us for the full week, we wont be traveling through Atlanta, but through Auburn. But if he is not, which is likely right now, well we will be traveling through and Ill have Saturday evening open for a run.

I only ask that you make sure your wife is involved. I want to hear about how she owns you in Adventures of Lolo.

Either way isn't bad. If you go down to Auburn, give me a head's up. I can always stand to see family and meet up with Xen for a meal.

Well it is her favorite game, she is much better at it than I am but we play it as a team. Group think! Actually, all those games but Prince of Persia and the last duology are games she wants to watch.

They should make a sitcom about us to living together and forcing each other to play each other's favorite genre. (the joke would be complete if you are into shooters, which I absolutely hate).

So anyway here's my list which Dsh will tear apart for being too much of one genre. Also, I will get flack for not beating a lot of classic games :lol: . Can't help it guys, I was able to buy them when I was an adult and had much less free time. Anyway, here goes:

1) Alladin (MD)
2) Rolling Thunder 2 (MD)
3) Super Mario Bros 3 (All Stars Wii version)
4) Flashback (MD)
5) Super Castlevania IV (SNES)
6) Drill Dozer (GBA)
7) The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (SNES)
θ) Donkey Kong (GB)
9) Star Fox 64 (hard difficulty path) (3DS port, but N64 mode)
10) Crash Bandicoot 2 (PS3 store version)


This sounds very fun btw :D. And I'll start counting from sometime near the end of May (probably)

If you mean shmups, then I like them, but I am terrible at them.

If you mean FPS, then we have a sitcom!

And beyond Rolling Thunder 2 and Drill Dozer, I'd say your list is pretty full of classics. And Ds can suck it if he thinks otherwise.
