Every couple of years or so ditzy EiC, Jason Venter, decides this is the year when he’s totally going to champion a completion project. And, because it’s Jason Venter, it’s going to be a Nintendo console because otherwise his Kirby plushie tells him it’s going to start burning things down again. And we all smile politely and chip a few Nes reviews or something his way until something else comes along and the project is never heard from again. Logic might suggest the reason these have such a short lifespan is because of the daunting backlog of games that would need to be covered. Such an undertaking would require an army and what we have is barely a platoon. But, screw that; it’s more because who cares about Nintendo? Real gamers demand ethics play Sega.

Good luck convincing someone to cover the sports games, with exception of NBA Jam. I'll take on Brutal, Spider-Man: Web of Fire, and BC Racers (stupid phone) when I have time.

I could see myself reviewing World Series Baseball. It's like the Genesis version, but nicer. I'm also planning on playing Knuckles Chaotix during my year long 20th anniversary 1995 gaming nostalgia tour, so maybe I can review that too. Space Harrier is more or less arcade accurate, so it should be painless to cover. Always wanted to play Primal Rage, too (snicker).

I can do a couple games here. And I might be that poor soul doing Doom 32X. Because if there's one thing this site needs in 2015, it's me doing another Doom review! If I can coincide it with a contest where revered former Summer Team Tournament judges are judging, more power to me!

Important reminder: freelance and staff reviews go through a copy editing process that is handled by yours truly. That will need to happen for any reviews contributed as part of this completion project, as well, in the event that you agree to have them promoted to appear on the site as such. Once posted as staff/freelance content, the reviews are no longer eligible for removal.

I've never even seen a 32X...

I had a 32X for a short period; I picked it up with Doom 32X and FIFA '96 from the shop I worked at after the guy sold it to me at cost just to get it off the shelf. I owned it for maybe three days before someone offered me a fair bit more than I payed for it so off it went. It was a really cool project and who knows what might have happened had SEGA not pulled to plug so ridiculously early.

The problem with the 32X was that Sega stopped supporting the Genesis once the Saturn launched, which was the same year the 32X launched IIRC. Also, a lot of the more promising games got scrapped and/or moved to the Saturn or PSX. (Castlevania, Sonic Xtreme, X-Men, etc.)

I hope to start either Brutal or BC Racers soon, perhaps tonight.

Eh, I wouldn't call it stealing. I was kind of vague on whether or not I would take it.

Man, I might as well go back to bed. The revelation that BC Racers is a blah game might be the biggest shock to my system yet in my life!

Seeing the visuals in motion is not as impressive. It's actually quite nauseating.

BC Racers is basically Mario Kart with Chuck Rock, right?

Basically, yeah. Nowhere near as good, though.

I dragged my feet a bit on this through 2015. Mainly because I took on more games than I previously planned, but I want this thing finished by the end of next year. To that end, I'm going to start a misery poll wherein I pick four random games a month and buckle down to knock out a review for the one that collects the most votes. So, for January 2016:

FIFA '96 sounds like a game that is not to be missed. Play it and let me know if you agree!

FIFA'96, because antiquated sports game reviews are rare.

Fifa. Definitely Fifa. The glee other people have in giving you this pick makes me think it's a must!
