The VG Resource

I want you to pick an old game. Maybe one you loved, maybe one you haven't ever played (Or even heard of!)

If you don't know what to look for, try a website like http://hg101.kontek.net or http://sega-16.com or even http://rvgfanatic.com

What I want to know is why you picked that game, what you thought about it; how it made you feel. Can you tell what other games might have inspired it? Who was it developed by? Why was that game a notable title? These are all good topics.
You've got exactly one week from today to turn your entries in! There will be guest judges. There will be no points, but the best article will be posted on http://pixelxcore.net and maybe The Vg Resource if I can convince Dazz.

oh, and you also get a copy of



on steam.


For some practice:

Entries must be over 500 words, but yet under 2000 words. Images aren't necessary, but I'd like to see you be creative with them. Youtube videos, written articles, are all okay.
If you need any more information, or would like some suggestions, you can reach me on aim as Radkojjiro, or Skype at..Radkojjiro.

once this is done (this sunday at 2:00 PM) you can post your entries in this thread

Oh crud kind of forgot about this. I'll see if I have time in the weekend (tomorrow and the day after). I'll merge my entry with this post.

i'd be on board for this but i'm so busy with finals and school in general that i just cant afford the time

I might give it a go, sounds interesting.

any more?

I would, if it weren't for the fact that I'm devoting all of my gaming time to finally finishing Demon's Souls before the servers close this month, and then I've gotta finish Persona 3 so I can let my friend borrow it and he'll stop being mad at me for making him wait to play it.

It sounds like it could be really fun, though, wish I could participate. Unless you have like, a really short game that you'd suggest I play through?

Shinobi III on the Genesis is only a few hours long, and can be tanked in a few hours.

God damn, I forgot to do this. Oh well, maybe next time. I got sick this week.

UNLESS I can beat a game tonight and type up something before work in the morning.

Actually as an aside, since people are interested, it's officially been extended to next friday at 2:00 pm

I started on this yesterday but didn't finish. Also because my time zone is different than yours I have no idea when exactly it was gonna finish so I was afraid I wouldn't be done in time. I'll actually work on it during the week this time rather then leaving it until the day before the deadline

By the way, I've been wondering, is this only for people here at tSR? Or has this also been advertised elsewhere?
Also, I've been a bit lost as to the format this has to be in. Up until now I've just been winging it, but should it be as a review or as something to convince you to play it? Formal or informal?

go with what you feel would be interesting. what i'm really looking for is review type stuff, though, but it doesn't necessarily have to be

Now if only I could decide what to do. I played about 3 games and can't decide.

what kind of games do you like?

Well I replayed Clash at Demonhead and Street Fighter 2010 because they are games I played when I was little and have a lot of fond memories of. The thing is I had never beaten them from beginning to end without cheating (since they were hard as crap for me back then), so I beat both of them yesterday. Now I can't decide if I want to write about one or the other.
