bump to get more thoughts on games. please read the above posts/plans...

[weasels]

maybe we could get a zelda-four swords game going....granted i have never played it or own it.....but thats my reasoning for mentioning it since i have always wanted to play it.

I don't own it as I'm not a huge Zelda fan. It might be interesting, but all I can supply is a GCN and two GBAs.

I'm officially out. The wife and I finally compared planners, and I'll be in DC that weekend.

Enjoy.

boo. we need to set up a time for me to grab that Vectrex.

So, what's been suggested so far is:

Multi-player games: Bomberman, Contra (I prefer III on the SNES, but any is fun really), Mario Kart, Zelda: 4 Swords (maybe??)

Single-player: shmups

I'll also add: a beatemup or four. These are always fun. Perhaps a run n gun like Metal Slug too. Definitely Golden Axe. If three people want to play it, Secret of Mana is great, although it's no fun until you get all three characters playing (so, right before the Haunted Forest). I have Red Faction II for the XBOX as well, although maybe someone has a better multiplayer FPS game for systems other than the N64.

For sure. It's not going anywhere.

In addition to the Ballz tourny, other fighting games we should play are blazblue and Guilty Gear... and WeaponLord! That needs to be played.

Does anyone have Steam Hearts? I'd love to play a little co-op on an erotic shump.

Here's my thoughts at this point based on recommendations so far. I think having a final list ahead of time might be good in case people want to practice a little bit to knock the rust off

CRT TV1 (32") - Sega Station - Guardian Heroes, Three Dirty Dwarves, Contra Hard Corps, Golden Axe, Ballz

I think this one is pretty locked. Five games is plenty!

HDTV 1 (55") - Sony Station - Twisted Metal Black, MvC3 or SSF4, BlazBlu, and...?

I will probably just hook up my BC PS3 to this, so we can (hopefully) use PS3 control pads (I have two) and USB arcade sticks (I have two).

HDTV 2 (43") - 360/Wii Station - Castle Crashers, Raiden Fighting Aces, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and...?


Would people be interested in some split screen Halo (I have all of them)? Is there another Wii game we should play?

CRT TV2 (21") - Nintendo Station - TMNT beat em up (which game?), Mario Kart 64, and...?

This one could stand to add another game or two. Four Swords is fine if people want to bring it and the needed hardware.

MAME Cabinet - shmups and whatever else we might want...

Would be useful if people brought:
-MUTITAPS
-Arcade sticks for Saturn, PS3, 360, or any other system they might want to use one for. In most cases I have one arcade stick per system.
-interesting/obscure/zany titles that you think would be fun to play with multiple people.
-Extra game pads (in most cases I have two per system).
-anything you might want to trade/sell
-Please label anything you bring so that it doesn't get lost in and amongst other people's stuff (or mine).

I also think that if there's interest maybe I'll set up the Jaguar so people can try out Tempest 2000 with the rotary controller
