Title: Summer Gaming Challenge 2018 - Stay Inside and Play Good Games
Red Text: What counts as a 'classic'?Gaming
Every year, a retro gaming community called hosts a special gaming challenge, wherein participants pick 10 games that are considered 'classics' that they haven't played, and try to play them during the summer. Pretty cool, right? Well, I wanted to share the challenge with Era because... I can! And it's fun! You can check out the here, for all of the original rules and whatnot. It's up to you! June 1 - August 31 is the easiest time slot for most, but others may choose the actual beginning of Summer (June 21) to the beginning of Autumn (September 22), or students may pick the end of the Spring semester to the beginning of the Fall semester. Or those in Aussie upside down world may want to just pick some dates during the upcoming months, even though it's Winter. Honestly, that interpretation is going to change for everybody. Since Racketboy is a retro games forum most of those users' choices are going to be retro games. However, you can pick most things that are remembered fondly by many people, even if more recent. For example, some of my choices for previous years include Cave Story, Super Mario Galaxy, Earthbound, and Valkyria Chronicles. don't pick like the new God of War that isn't even a month old yet, but 'modern classics' are definitely viable for this challenge! Of course if you want to get feedback if others think a game is 'classic enough' to put on the list you can ask, but I won't judge :) No problem! I typically only get through about half my list each year. But it's fun trying out some backlog games that fell on the wayside. Updates!! You can post your list, get feedback, and post updates about the games you've beaten and what you thought of them right here. Playing together as a community is exciting! So what are you going to play? When are you going to start? Let us know and we can enjoy the classics together! Also, some links for all of your backlog busting needs: There is also a Backlog ERA Discord! Quote the OP and you can find gamers with backlogs to talk about games and backlogs. Exciting!
