Jeevan | 8,882 Events Helper · Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 So......starting out with calling a soft dibs.......... Right now I can commit to ogre battle 64, cruisin usa, cruisin exotica, cruisin world, elmo letters, elmo numbers, army men air combat, army men sarge's heroes, army men sarge's heroes 2, kobe bryant 1, kobe bryant 2. Will add more to the list later, but this should be a good start for now. Should keep me busy for the first week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 3,919 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I’ll go ahead and soft dibs conkers and doom64. These two I’ll be playing day 1 which actually starts before the majority here after that I’m not sure. Besides Conkers & jet force Gemini I played and finished the Rare library growing up, so I have no interest in doing those and I’d like to see someone who has never played them give them a go anyway. I might try out Turok or some of the top gear rally games (I only beat the first one when I was younger). They’re not dibs though, so if anyone wants them out of the gate go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splain | 2,547 Editorials Team · Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 @Shmup I don't remember when I wrote that, but I'm guessing I was under the impression that finishing that much of the game gave some sort of an ending, with credits. Looking at it now, it's definitely not true, there's just a cutscene (like all the campaigns) and you can watch the credits whenever you want. So I'll update that requirement. Yeah @Jeevan that's a good idea to have a front-page Claim Sheet, and you can feel free to hop in there and edit it as you see fit. But I think it still shouldn't be "hard dibs," meaning if someone finds the thread and says they cleared something, we won't tell them "no, that doesn't count" and wait for the claimer to finish it. Seems a little exclusive to do something like that. My recent-ish employment changes have made it harder to stay up-to date on the thread (no more desk job), so I apologize for the frequent delays. I'm happy to still own and run the thread, but if someone else wants to take a whirl, we can discuss it. Or maybe I can write a bot that does the updates... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are peoples thoughts on splitting StarCraft? I’m thinking someone would potentially be looking at around 70hours of StarCraft if they were to do the whole thing. Not impossible but a lot to ask for one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFan042 | 1,181 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I do plan on doing Majora's Mask, Mario Kart, and Harvest Moon pretty early on, and then hitting the sports games pretty hard. As of right now, I am working my way through Ogre Battle, but I guess everyone else has given up (RIP my first place trophy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
