"Can Sega-16 beat every Genesis game in a year?"

[ReBirFh]

If they aren't taken, I claim Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Circus Mistery starring Mickey and Minnie, James Bond the Duel and maybe Buck Rogers coutdown to doomsday.

[QuickSciFi]

^You can't take more than two at a time. If so, I already called for Sonic 2.

[Thenewguy]

My buddy says he'll definitely take Sub-Terrania, maybe some sports games.

[goldenband]

Ile take alien storm if nobody else has!

and Sports!!........... Mmmmmm this will be a hard decision.

i will have to get back to you on that one :\

Putting you down for Alien Storm, and I'll await word on the sports game.

Put me down for Marvel Land, and Ex Mutants

Adding now.

I want to participate, but this thread is a clusterfuck and I don't really know what's going on.

Do you have any suggestions for what would make it better? As MaxWar said, I've been updating the first post.

Ok, I claim Battletoads.

Yours.

I claim back to the Future 3

Already claimed by blackbirdru.

I wouldn't consider most "sports" games finished just by beating one exhibition game. Even if you could skip to the championship, I wouldn't consider that beating it, either. [...] But hey, it's your challenge, you can set the bar as high or low as you want, I guess.

To be honest I'm not 100% comfortable with that either, but we're trying to find a way of making the task manageable, and avoid putting completion on the shoulders of just 3-4 people. That said, everyone is absolutely welcome to set a higher bar for themselves, and it's great to have players on board like you who are willing to see the whole game through and play to a higher standard.

I would actually enjoy playing through a lot of "sports" game for this challenge. But there is so much hate / negativity towards them that I'm not sure if I want to participate. I like a lot of these games, afterall.

Oh, man, please don't let the general disdain for sports games keep you away. We desperately need folks like you who enjoy them. Personally I like tennis and golf games, and can get behind an occasional game of baseball, so I'm likely to play some or all of those genres during the year.

I didn't see it in the rules but are you required to choose a game that you haven't beaten before?

Definitely not required. I think we're gently encouraging everyone to go with games they haven't beaten, so more people can have the experience of beating Phantasy Stars, Disney games, etc. for the first time. But once we get about halfway through the year, getting the list finished becomes more important.

I'll do:

-Castle of Illusion
-Road Rash 3 (I've only beat 2, and currently playing through 1, but it should be fine)
-Probotector (How is that nobody has picked this one?)
-Outrun
-Home Alone
-Jungle Strike
-Streets of Rage 2
-Jungle Book
-Comix Zone
-Greendog
-Cool Spot
-James Pond 2

If they are too many games I can do a bit less, of course. And I could do some more if needed (Desert Strike, or maybe PSIII, for example).

Better yet, I'll let the OP choose how many games of those I should do, I don't have a problem with any of them.

OK, I'm putting you down for Road Rash III and James Pond 2. We're trying to keep it down to 2 games claimed per person, except for sports games, but you're absolutely welcome to start on any of the other games after the year begins (if they're unclaimed).

If they aren't taken, I claim Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Circus Mistery starring Mickey and Minnie, James Bond the Duel and maybe Buck Rogers coutdown to doomsday.

^You can't take more than two at a time. If so, I already called for Sonic 2.

^What he said. I'll put ReBirFh down for The Great Circus Mystery starring Mickey and Minnie and James Bond 007: The Duel.

Any chance he could register for the forums? That'd be helpful.

[MEGADRIVER1]

SHINING IN THE DARKNESS! SHINING IN THE DARKNESS!!! ME ME ME!!!

and also SHADOWRUN!!!

Dunno, probably not to be honest, but its possible.

If you need a nickname just call him "Rimmer" or "Eric from Dungeons and Dragons", that's what we do.

I'll take Mystic Defender if it hasn't been claimed yet, I owned it as a kid and should be able to blast through it with relative ease.

I'll put you down for Shining in the Darkness, but claiming two popular RPGs is excessive -- most people don't work on two RPGs at once, and we don't want people cherry-picking all the sexy titles and leaving the rest of us to muddle through the dross. If no one else claims Shadowrun, though, you're welcome to start on it as soon as you finish SitD.

Dunno, probably not to be honest, but its possible.

It'd be great if he could, even just a token post, since this is really supposed to be a Sega-16 members event.

If you need a nickname just call him "Rimmer"

I don't think I want to know the story behind that nickname.

I'll take Mystic Defender if it hasn't been claimed yet, I owned it as a kid and should be able to blast through it with relative ease.

Yours!

[MaxWar]

Anyone ever beaten Krusty's super fun house ? Ive gotten halfway through it maybe and i felt like my head would explode.

He has to be a registered member. The challenge is for "sega-16" to beat the Genesis library in one year, not the whole world.

[MEGADRIVER1]

I'll do them both!! then put me down as also interested in shadowrun.

is your wife bossing you at home

[SpaceFlea]

I'll do them both!! then put me down as also interested in shadowrun.

Methinks someone doesn't understand.

Also, ignoring maybes, it looks as though we've already got 88 games claimed (about 13% of available titles).
