So my Hidden Gems guides are still one of my most popular sets of posts, but I know they could use a revamp and have more original content, relying less on review quotes/excerpts.
I'm hoping to go the route of what we did with the semi-recent Master System gems. We had a handful of us that each contributed a few game summaries until we had a pretty full lineup.
You can find that piece here: http://www.racketboy.com/retro/the-best ... idden-gems
Since we already have an existing structure, you can choose any game that's already listed (either featured with a writeup/screenshot already, one from the honorable mentions, or one that you feel was missed altogether. Here's the link to the existing post:

I'm shooting for 3 or 4 paragraphs for each featured game. I think the key is to share what gives the game its personality and sets it apart from its peers. Leading off with a brief background is ok, but don’t get too Wikipedia-ish.
I already have somebody that's called dibs on Slap Happy Rhythm Busters and Panzer Bandit. I'll probably take on a few 2D shooters to start, so maybe avoid those unless you feel really passionate about that.
Anybody interested in pitching in?
