dudes!  starcraft is kicking my ass, spent a whole 2.5 hours on the last mission i played

After this, whoever gets it next year is a sucker!

This will be the only year we finish all the N64 games. There’s little chance of anyone else been crazy enough to try and finish that game especially because it’s only worth like 4 points

half point every year.......so like 2040 it will be worth it, also......does it go back to 1 if we beat them all????  Like do all the points reset?

[Splain | 2,569]

It was actually done one year. But I don’t know if the point system was implemented yet or if it was even on here. Might have been the last year full year of NA’s existence that it was finished. Im pretty sure @Splainwas in charge of it then and I wanna say @Nugfishdid most of the work that year

2018. Point system was the same as it is now. There was a guy named MeridianPrime who was beating every N64 game for his own thing (sounds familiar ) so he knocked out a bunch of games that don't usually get beaten, and more games total than any other person. We asked him which ones he was going to play that year, and we operated off the remaining list. He didn't participate on NA in any other way really, so it would be really great if we could do it this year.

His thing was to play every game and record/time it, then work on improving his overall time by beating individual games faster. He didn't end up doing too much revisiting after beating them all, but there are twitch recordings of every game he beat. I have the link somewhere if anyone wants it.

Problem is, he definitely only played through one campaign for Starcraft, so I'll need to dig through the archives to see if he was the one who took Starcraft in 2018. There were other games too, where he didn't do very much digging, just wanted to declare the game beaten, and absolutely quit too early. Viewers couldn't convince him once his mind was made up. I didn't notice it until 2018 was over, but it left a bad taste. We need to do it this year!

(Make no mistake: he was a good guy, and I'm glad he came aboard and helped us. He re-beat a couple he had already done just so they could be in 2018 for us. Beating the N64 library that year was a huge deal and it was a ton of fun cheering people on with the last few games, then pages and pages of celebration. So I'm glad he was there.)

I was more of a collector than a gamer in those years. I maybe beat a couple games for the NES/N64 threads, but not many. I decided to sell off alot of my collection and focus on actually playing the games I had once the NA dumpsterfire went down. I was zfleming54 on NA.

My bad, was confusing you for someone else. For whatever reason your username sticks out in my mind when I think of this thread

Ya, It's probably just from VGS. I have tried to be a larger contributor in all but one of the years when I overextended myself professionally.

[MagusSmurf | 577]

Have started Banjo Tooie, should be done well before the end of the month. Will probably move right onto Mischief Makers after finishing.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is done.

[Jeevan | 8,911]

Do we want to do the points like the nes crew is, aren't they basing that off of time sink and difficulty?  @Splain

That way u don't have to update every year and it can just be a set number of points for the games.  Starcraft has to be near the top in length and difficulty.

[Splain | 2,569]

I've been half-wanting to do that for a while. Those points are based off of the order the games are historically completed, since they've cleared all the games many times now. So any game that gets knocked out right away, year after year, will have a low point value, even if it's a long game. So it does adjust slightly year after year It's a nice results-driven way to decide point values. I believe the SNES thread did it like that too, back in the day.

If we want to copy the NES thread, each game is worth 1 thru 10 points, and there are equal numbers in each tier. So for us it'll look like ~30 games for each point value. Games that rarely get beaten (Hey You Pikachu, Forsaken, etc) will be 10-pointers and games that always get done quickly (Smash, Dr. Mario, etc) will be 1-pointers. We can mess with the details if we want to.

I can get to work on a point system like that, and see what the adjusted leaderboard looks like so far. I'd need to gather data on what order the games were completed for the last 5ish years, so I'd need some time to do that.
