I usually try to get the schedule up a couple weeks before the contests start.  The first several contests are usually really common games so people won't have to go out and buy games right away.  I try to save more uncommon games for later in the year so people will have plenty of time to acquire them.  The first contest for 2016 is going to be a game that everyone will likely have in their collection

My NES collection count: 757 games (16 to go for a full set)

Latest Purchase(s): Snow Brothers

Yes, there will be.  The target time is early February.



Even though I'm retired from official competition, I still can't wait to see what new games are on the schedule this year!


I currently have 6 games on the schedule that will be brand new to the contests in 2016.  However, this could still change if I discover rules complications and/or better games.  I also have a large handful of first-time games I'm considering for this year.

Bimmy you are the best! I can hardly contain myself the joy of a New Years weekly contest. Yes! Yes! Yes!

I have what I think are some exciting games in the lineup for this year.  The schedule isn't complete yet, but it is getting there.  I hope everyone will be just as excited to play the chosen games this year as I am to share them with you

With all of the ideas and suggestions that have been offered up over the last few months, I'm interested to see how the final format turned out. It looks like it will be another great year!

If you need help checking into any potential rules issues, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can find out.

Is the new season still on track to start in the next few weeks?

Yep, it should be.  guillavoie and I are finalizing the list of games and we should have everything ready to go in the next couple weeks.

It should. If the contest starts Sunday, the full schedule might be up slightly after the first contest is announced, but it could be before as well.

It's "super" fun and everyone should already own it.  If someone doesn't have it, then they've been living under a rock

We've come up with a schedule and just have to play rock, paper, scissors with a couple games and then it will be set in stone.  Due to my work schedule this weekend (I work retail and the Super Bowl is Sunday, which means we will be super busy), I'm looking at getting things started on Valentine's Day.  So, book your calendars and push your wives or girlfriends/boyfriends to the curb.  You all have a date with Gamemaster Bimmy and the Weekly Contests

Copy of tecmo bowl says you won't be able to stay on the sidelines. *coughs* Brett Favre. 

Youll run a limited schedule  

Maybe, but I still could use a copy of Tecmo Bowl!
