ORIGINAL POST:

I thought I'd go back and compile a single list of all the TR games that have been played since the club started. It's interesting to see some of the games that I missed. So here's what I've compiled. Now obviously the club started March 2008, and some of you may not realize that at first there were multiple (unrelated) games going on each month. The idea was to play a longer game and shorter game, but ultimately this didn't work out and (mostly) it's stuck to one game per month. Another oddity was the single "weekend edition" of TR (Diable II).

The only things I can't piece together are Oct 2008 and March 2009. Did we just not have a TR that month? Hmm.

We're doing Super Monkey Ball this December? Count me in, although I'd prefer we did the second game.

I'd love to help, but Riviera is the first month I've directly taken part (although I posted in the threads for ecco and wonder boy as I've played both. It'd be good to use this for choosing games in future. I feel like a pinball title is overdue for example.

I think year one was just Racket himself choosing games he always meant to play. Later it got more community-driven and we started to focus on games that had ports on multiple consoles to get more participation.

I think a pinball title is a great idea, BTW.

Let's hold off discussion of next year until October/November. It is way too early to start making plans...
