Emulation really is totally easy--it only becomes even slightly difficult when you get into the newer systems.

Well, I think the goal here is not to make things more difficult for people. But unless we REALLY want to limit our game and system choices to certain well-traveled paths, emulation does actually make participation easier, because people don't have to go out hunting for hardware and games that may be damn near impossible to find.

Sing me in! with emulation everyone can join and it'll be better.

put the game names on small pieces of paper and put them in a hat and pick one at random and that will be the game for the moment.

The better part of this is that i feel up to play even bad games, just for the sake of sharing thoughts and ideas, please lets make this happen!!

I am all for random selection, though quirky and less known games definitely need some loving first, especially some of those hidden gems on Racketboy's lists.

I voted semi-chronological. I don't like random because it might make things harder for us when we "go back", like playing an 8 bit game after a 16 bit one. If you play Chrono Trigger after Asteroids it'll look like next-gen, but if you play it after Jet Set Radio it won't be so impressive.

Yeah semi-chronological will be better. I think we could make this by genre, and go through the most important titles throughout the years, and the selection of the titles could be by voting.

Random might be better.

Also voted for random. It'll be nice to mix it up vs. playing strictly 8-bit titles for a couple months...
