[FK in the Coffee]

Tossing a vote in for Penumbra.

[Slader16]

Anything horror terrifies me though

[Canned Turkey]

Please no horror/gross out games.
We can make exceptions for games with a creepy vibe like gone home, but I really don't think it would be fun to have everyone play something that's genuinely unsettling.

there's a fun thing involving forums and CK2 where players pass on a save file to another player after playing through a monarch. could be fun to have multiple circles going, but might require more organization than possible.

you mean a succession game

yeah we can do that, but maybe outside of the game club? idk if theres enough interest tho

[FK in the Coffee]

In that case, I think Earthbound would be a blast to play/talk about.

[Canned Turkey]

Ooh I didn't think about that, another vote for earthbound.
I started playing it on a snes emulator on my psp, but I never finished it.

i'd have to play mother before i played earthbound. guess i'm gonna have to marathon that beforehand if that's what we're doing!


but i'm all for earthbound, yes

[Alevice]

they are loosely connected. you dont need to play mother to truly enjoy mother 2 or 3

[rj]

though i'm aware of this i feel compelled to do that anyway

I've seen people do this, but with games like Minecraft, Terraria, and even a GameMaker file.

Good to see this thing happening again, it used to be fun. You're all voting for Metroid II, but I'm going to suggest Metroid Fusion instead over Metroid II.

dwarf fortress was the game that put succession games on the map iirc (google "boatmurdered")

so anyway, is anyone interested in a ck2 succession game as a separate thing? i could set it up and take over the "management" part of it. im starting to really like this idea haha

[Dragonmaw]

i'd like to see us all have the same start, but separate games, if we do ck2

[jamesprimate]

less talk more gaem. just tell me what to buy & play.

[baconman]

I dunno. Earthbound + Metroid-of-your-choice + Crusader Kings II seems a fair arrangement; there's enough variety to accomodate taste, and there's enough consistency to remain connected.

There's usually a freeware option though, IIRC. That's the other ingredient we're missing here. Something anyone can pick up and play, but is worth picking up and playing. For a month, kind of regularly.

[Slader16]

When was the last game club? I haven't really seen any freeware games for a while now

[Slader16]

Oh, I also want to add Chrono Trigger

[Canned Turkey]

Why don't we set up a poll and vote for it?

[FK in the Coffee]

I'm gonna toss out Iji as a suggestion for the freeware option.  Having played it since 2011, and I've really been meaning to.

[Praying Mantis]

We should set up a poll, but I believe there should be a few guidelines in place for the games we play. Here's what I suggest:
- Games must be at least 5 years old
- If purchasable, must be below $10 USD
- If free, must be easily available online to download and play (no fiddling with mod packs, cracks, DOSbox or anything. Emulators are fine).
- Should have relatively low system requirements, so that those with lower-end PCs can still participate
- The game hasn't been played before for game-club (we can dig up the old threads, this is just to avoid redundant discussion).

What does everyone think of these guidelines?

[Tobers]

I want in too! I'll toss in a vote for CK2.

*edit* using the same start too. =)
