    Retro Game of the Month January 2018: Metroid (NES) and Super Metroid (SNES)

    They were both mentioned in the same suggestion post and they're short enough to be able to beat both in a single month so we're doing a package deal for Metroid and Super Metroid for January! Metroid Wikipedia Blurb: Metroid[a] is an action-adventure video game developed and published by...

    Poll December's Retro Game of the Month

    Here's the crop of nominations for December's RGOTM. This time we've got a C64 game in the bunch, although it's also available on NES so it's still pretty accessible. A 2000 Windows game, too, which has no nostalgic value for me but it got some solidarities so I included it. There are also a...

    Retro Game of the Month Nomination Thread

    This is the thread we'll come back to every month to decide what next month's game nominations will be. We're going to try to stick to games we have had reasonable access to growing up, so mainly stuff from the NES, SNES, and Genesis eras (although there's no reason we can't make exceptions...

    Sonic Mania

    I'm not sure how much interest there is for this but I'm psyched! (Comes out the 15th) Looks like we're getting what for all intents and purposes is a sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles; A true Sonic 4, if you will. Certainly, there have been good Sonic games since 3&K (Several above-decent...

    Rule Change Suggestions - Aug 2017 elections

    While there were a few ideas proposed for rule changes since the initial creation of the site rules, it seems like most of them have been forgotten and slipped through the cracks. Unfortunately, by the time the very limited window to officially suggest new rules came and went, we only got a...

    Awesomenauts

    It's hardly a new release at this point, but has anybody else gotten into Awesomenauts? It's got MOBA sensibilities (minions, turrets, branching paths, bases, gaining currency/levels, buying/upgrading powers, etc) done through tight 2D platforming. While it may not have the depth of DOTA2 or...
