I kind of figured a bunch might own it. It’s been bundled, sold for a song, etc. It’s only $9.99 right now even if you’re needing it to join the challenge. It also is perfect for score chasing in a setting like this because it’s played in five minute chunks (that’s the default timer IIRC?).
Since everyone is chiming in on their thoughts about Pac-Man, I’m just going to forego the vote and make an executive decision here, so I can update the site right now while I have time at work.
I’d just like to say that I like this format of community suggests, winner chooses. It’s easy to pick a game you like (and are good at) but choosing from a list of games others have already chimed in on seems more fun and fair, while still giving spoils to the victor. And of course someone is always free to choose a game that no one has mentioned if they really want.
That’s kind of what I suggested, people chip in with a game and how it is to be played and then others like the post to confirm that you have the game or are willing to find a way to play it if chosen. Perhaps limit the thread to no posts other than suggestions to keep it tidy and stop ideas from getting lost.
My problem this week was that I didn’t want to choose another racing game or shmup, genres that have already been played so recently. Secondly after only a couple of us played Nights into Dreams I don’t want to have to worry about if someone has the hardware or not etc etc, would much rather be able to pick a game that you know others will be able to take part in and get playing!
