Yes I was joking. It'd be an executive tie-breaking decision concerning the actual tied themes. And by "executive" I mean a Magic 8 Ball will decide.

so what game could we choose that would cover multiple potential bases? A 90s RTS with mechs? An 80s mech game with a female lead?

We could play mech commander as a 90s rts mech game or we could do... practically any 80s Japanese game for a female lead and mechs hahaha!

MechCommander Gold has been released as freeware, though I'm not sure on how well it runs on Windows 10.

I've been looking for one outside of Metroid but the ones I keep coming up with are infuriatingly "1990."

Why are you guys worrying about finding games that fit multiple theme criteria? Only one theme is going to win. And that theme will be decided on "Mon Feb 19, 2018 1:08 am". Which means you'll have nine days before March starts to pick out a fitting game(s).

Well, this is definitely the most interesting discussion we've had on Racketboy all day.

I'm not, just having fun doing a little research for the sake of it.

Anyway, my 80's lady:
