This is definitely an interesting theme. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm going to have to sit this round out.
My free time has been steadily declining and shows no signs of improving for the foreseeable future. It means that I've had to take a hard look at how I spend the time that I get. It pains me to admit it, I have some pretty embarrassing gaps in my retro gaming travelogue. No Zeldas past Majora's Mask, no Grand Theft Autos since III, no Final Fantasies since VII, no Metal Gear Solids or Personas past the originals, and those don't count various non-series games.
Especially with the no non-exclusives rule, it makes it hard to for me to focus on filling these gaps. Of all of them, the Virtual Boy option is the most appealing to me, but since I'm a Nintendo groupie, I would like to get the console and have my first few VBoy sessions on the actual hardware (and see for myself how bad the headache problem is). Hence, I'd like to avoid emulation for that one.
If time permits, I may play a related game, but it'll probably be a non-exclusive so I wouldn't discuss it here so as not to distract those who are properly participating. That said, I'm glad that there is a month for those who want to explore some of the less-traveled corners of this wonderful hobby.
