It was started by old user Snickerd00dle back in 2010, and has run every summer since (with dsheinem taking over the reigns last year). Here's the challenge exactly as Snickerd00dle described:
The definition of Summer he used was from the start June to the end of August, but you can feel free to define it however you wish - some prefer to start in the middle of May and play right through to mid September and the official end of Summertime.what I thought I would do is pick ten games that I own and have never beat, that are regarded as classics by most people and are also games that I really wish I had played through, games everyone talks about that I never ended up finishing, and beat all ten of them by the end of the summer.
So, which games are you ashamed to have never beaten? Or even worse, never started? Which classics do you always feel bad that you can't join in discussion of? Classics that have been on the shelf untouched for the past 5 years? Time to get them done!
Pick your list of 10, and get to it over this summer. Don't worry if you don't beat them all, or if you don't like them all, but at least try and give them all a go at long last!
Here's my personal list from the last 2 years:
1. Blaster Master - Wii VC (NES)
2. Cybernator - SNES
3. Super Aleste - SNES
4. Diddy Kong Racing - N64
5. Metroid Prime 3 - Wii
6. Loco Roco - PSP
7. Final Fantasy VII - PS1
8. Metal Gear Solid - PS1
9. Tomb Raider - PS1
10. Pulseman - Wii VC (MD)
11. Bubble Bobble - SMS
And yes, I did pull a Spinal Tap
P.S I know this thread is up really early, but I thought I'd give it time for people to prepare their lists, and for more people to notice and join in. This thread is at it's best when lots of people are playing old classics together for the first time, so try and match one of your games up with other people of you can!
