Keep in mind, it has to also be available via a current console's download service. Maybe Super Mario Bros. for the NES (since it's 25 years old and all that)? Nominate now!

[Wenny]

Spyro the Dragon

[LiK]

Super Mario 2 The Lost Levels

[KnightAttack]

I would nominate either:

Crash Bandicoot 2: The Wrath of Cortex (for something newer)

or

Breath of Fire II.




Both have a special place in my heart, and that damn Polar Bear in Crash 2 with its stupid smile if you died reminded me a lot of one of my friends smile.

Can I put in a vote for Breath of Fire 2?

Can I put in a vote for Breath of Fire 2?

Can I make a prediction that CJ will play 5 minutes of this and never boot it again?

[redrock963]

Weird doing another Mario one, didn't you guys do Mario 2 in an earlier episode?

Not that I'm complaining. I loves me some Mario.

[PlayerOneStewy]

an RPG would be interesting, but not realistic.

[Ondore]

Did we ever do the Majora's Mask one? I forgot...

It's probably a mistake to ask your audience which game to play.

[RandomlyRossy]

A bit random (not so much to me as it's one of my favourites) but I'd suggest Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars.

Available on a ton of formats at this point, PC, Wii, PS1, iOS and a bunch of others.

It's a shame it's only the newly updated Director's Cut that's around though as it changes some stuff I'd rather it hadn't.

[Casual_Alcoholic]

Secret of Mana!

Not everyone finishes the game for Game Club anyway. I don't think we have to be able to finish it to play it. Also I really want an excuse to snag my friend and make him finish the Mana Fortress with me.

I second this. It's also available on Steam for PC *and* Mac. Contrasted with the LucasArts adventures games, it's almost never talked about in the US but has some quite excellent aspects. It'd definitely be divisive, which always produces a better Game Club.

[KnightAttack]

I think it is realistic, if you set the tone of how it's going to be done right.

By that I mean, rather than finish than just have the game "finished" by a set point, have it set to play through to a certain points, so that it may take even say, 3 or 4 weeks.




However, I think doing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis would be awesome.


'Course, so would doing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure.

[PlayerOneCJ]

Btw the original Spyro the Dragon is discounted for PS+ members now... I played it back in the day but it might be interesting to look at it from the perspective of Insomniac's later games.

[levitynyc]

Is Secret of Evermore available for download? That game is far more polarizing than Secret of Mana... (and in my opinion, almost as good)

[ness08]

What? Evermore almost as good as Mana? I liked Evermore, but not the same way I like Mana. Mana was good, Evermore was different And I don't believe it is available now.

I vote Majora's Mask.

[Owozifa]

I think we should play whatever CJ wants, because that's the only thing that's going to get played anyway.

And even then it's a 50/50 chance.

I realize I suggested it, but I think Sypro 2 is a better choice.

Not currently. Then again, Squenix just uploaded Mystic Quest, so they'll get to SoE sometime next decade.

[Owozifa]

I realize I suggested it, but I think Sypro 2 is a better choice.

And since I played Spyro 2 just last month, I almost want to say Spyro 3! But I suppose I could talk about Spyro 2 having already played it, then I can be lazy.

Never turn down a chance at laziness.

I vomit with the power of a hurricane.

[K-S-O]

I'm thinking that you guys should actually do Majora's Mask. That one has been left unresolved for too long.

[drunkmessiah]

how's about cave story, its free as fuck for most things, out on VC, I was saving it to play on psp while traveling in asia, but i'd love to game club it.

[JohngPR]

How about Sly Cooper 1 (or the whole series)? It's out on PS3 and won't take too long to beat.

Besides, seems like a few of you guys are already playing it.

[Ondore]

Waaaaaaaay ahead of you

[demonicmurry]

I would love for you guys to do Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars. Now that CJ has Steam for Mac, he can totally grab it since it's compatible. My vote goes for RandomlyRossy's suggestion.

Crash Bandicoot 2: The Wrath of Cortex (for something newer)

Warped is the better game. More diverse levels, and it's slightly easier, making it a quicker playthrough than Cortex Strikes Back.

Warped is definitely the best of the Crash games...but given that most of the hosts dislike the Crash series I don't think it would make a good choice.

[Architecture]

Warped is a phenomenal game. It was a legitimately gorgeous PSX game, especially at the time. I didn't realize it, but Mark Mothersbaugh is responsible for the music (yes, that Mark Mothersbaugh). Plus it's really nifty to see how far Naughty Dog's come as a studio.

Either way, Crash is the better PSX series when it comes to the Universal platformers - Spyro was a good-looking game, but it was just way too easy. Enjoyable, but easy.

Well, this isn't right...

Spyro is a much better series - as difficulty isn't the single factor used in judging a games quality. And Spyro's music was by Stewart Copeland - The Police can beat up Devo any day.

*looks at own avatar*

How about Final Fantasy Tactics? Only $10 on PSN. How can you say no?

[Gi_joe_pesci]

yeah crash warped is awesome, it even has an underwater level. (a good one too)
