Marble Madness? haha. that game rocks.

No rpg love? I was hoping we would play Shining Force. It's a bit less time intensive than Lunar, but I can see excluding RPG's all together. You'll probably get more participation is you stick to more platformers and action games.

Well since we're doing Lunar now, I want to wait a bit longer for another RPG.
Shining Force would be a nice one, but Earthbound or Chrono Trigger are front-runners as well.

Seems to be a solid line-up for me. Thanks for the heads-up, this is rather helpful. I'll see if I can have my DC with me and my copy of Radio as well.

Darn.. looks like Sept. 13 is when I can join in again, oh well.
I'm still not sure whether I'm a kid or a squid now.

I do have to ask about the lack of old PC games. I realize there may be issues with compatibility, but there are emulation programs like DOSBox. I'd just love to see titles like Monkey Island and MYST make it.

Super RC Pro-Am PWNs. I remember having the Game Boy version of that game. So many hours of fun...

It would be nice seeing some DOS games here. I'd like to see Beneath a Steel Sky, Doom (of course), and the Commander Keen series.

Oh yeah -- I actually played a lot of the GB version as well. Not as much with the NES version.
