Hey! When they were first rumoring about the NSO classic games service and how it'd be a rotation I was thinking Well that kinda sucks but it might be cool to do a sort of focused book club deal on a game i'd otherwise not play and then it turned out to not be on a rotation, at least. But I still wanna try some NES games! I respect what the system did for video games but I don't respect its library.

Saying that, I'd still like to do a book club for NES and Gameboy games alternating each month, once a month for the next year. A game is chosen and whatever way you can, we all play it, and if you feel like it you can talk about your experience with it while you do so. Anyone would be free to join!

If you're interested in the idea post below! I'll try to get the first thread going close to the start of next year. Also, feel free to suggest a NES and/or Gameboy game! I'm putting forward Zelda 1 as an option.


Super Mario Bros. is not a guaranteed pick BUT if it is i'd like to make it a Player's Choice of Supers Mario 1 2 or 3 (and Lost Levels, why not)

POSTING FOR INTEREST!!!!

YEAH THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!!! Id be super interested to do this!

and does GB mean original gameboy only or does it include gb-color games as well?

if so i think the zelda oracle of seasons and ages might be a fun pick for games down the line!

That's a really good point, I think GB Color games also ought to be welcome to the pool.

current games on the list, sourced here and elsewhere:

• NES
  Zelda 1
  Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
  Gimmick!
  Gargoyle’s Quest
  Takeshi’s Challenge
  Megaman (Player’s choice)
• GB
  Trip World
  Gargoyle’s Quest
  Megaman (Player’s Choice)
  Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons
  Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken

This is a really cool idea and I'd love to participate!

Sounds real fun yeah !

I've got a unique one for ya'll: Micro Mages. It's a 4 player co-op(?) vertical scrolling platformer that is not only available on steam but it includes an NES rom to put on flashcarts to play on real hardware or for the emulator of your preference.
