Some of us are old. Rob, for instance, was denied access to Noah’s Arc as he was waaay over the drink limit, so spent a long arse time dogging paddling, while Marc was one of those uppity Canadians that set the Whitehouse on fire back when. We don’t have to look that far back, but we are looking to take a glance back over video gaming’s shoulder. It’s been a few years, but it’s time to knock the dust off of the Retro tourney.

Question: Does 16-bit refer to particular eras (meaning all games fourth generation and earlier, based on the mostly standardized definitions for video game eras found online) or actual computer architectures... because then we need a ruling. |

There's tons of PC stuff that came out before or around that era. But focus needs to be reigned in somewhere!

PlayStation was pretty cool when I was 12. Isn't that retro yet?

I might try to turn in something for this, depending on how much time I have in the coming weeks around work. I've been wanting to review a few retro games for awhile and this could be the kick in the pants that I've been needing.

I'm all for crazy obscure consoles and no PC games. well, not that obscure but I'll try and do something for this. I never got around to reviewing Metal Max so maybe this is the time.
Don't panic! |

Did you review Skee-ball? Old Man once wrote a good review about that.

Oh, throw me in here too, I guess. Only time will tell how much I actually get done, but eh.

My possibilities for this are endless. Except for the deadline, which obviously puts an end to them.

Still going with my replay of the retro game I'm going to review. I've played it before so I probably don't need to finish it again (and might not if I run out of time). Got some notes, a few lines I like the sound of. Hopefully it'll all come together.

Well, it's good no one could be bothered to add me. I may not make this after all. If a miracle happens, though, I'll post one tomorrow since I won't be able to otherwise before the deadline.

Not sure if I'll have time to finish my review at this point, but it should be a good one whenever it is posted. |

OD got both of his up; he just didn't link. As for anyone else.... the only other one to post any reviews is Joe. I may still try for it, but don't get your hopes up.
