I know there's not really anything to it but this makes me astoundingly happy anyways.

Tempted to start another alphabet games marathon as I did 4 or 5 years back now.

I have most letters covered, besides a few of the obviously trickier ones (J, Q and X), and it's fun ebcause it forces me to play some stuff outside my comfort zone, but I don't know if I have the time now I have a full time job and I'm not a student on my summer break.

I was thinking Jet Set Radio Future or maybe Jet Force Gemini for J.

I kind of want games I can beat. Do QBert or Xevious even have an end? That's why I avoided Qix for Q too. I also want games I've never beaten before aswell, just to be a finnicky git.

Quake would be an option for Q I guess, although it's really not my thing. Quest something too? Quests 64 is a bit crap, are there any other notable 'quest...' games? Quack Attack technically starts with D (Donal Duck) and I've beaten Quackshot before.

As for X, maybe Xenoblade Chronicle X will be out by then? :lol: Otherwise there's the obvious endless reams of X-men games, X for Game Boy (which I'd like, but it's a pricy import), Xenogears or Xenosaga or the Xtreme G games (they are spelt like this right?)

It's one I hadn't though of. I think I'd play the PC original if I went for that, even though I'm not a big PC gamer.


Honestly, X actually has quite a few options now I think about it. Q is the real hurdle.

EDIT: There's Quartet for Master System. Is that any good?

There's a cool game for iOS and Xbox live called Quarrel. It's like scrabble mixed with a turn based strategy game but much more fun than that concept sounds.

Haha, I was going to suggest that!

Yeah, it is good. I dig it quite a lot. I think it's the closest thing the SMS has to a run 'n' gun.

Phenomenal soundtrack.

Only issue I have is that the attack/jump buttons are are "swapped" (in other words, if it were on the NES A would attack and B would jump). Takes some time getting used to.
