So, I've been thinking about next year's thread. I remember last year around this time saying that I didn't want to do unlicensed again, but a number of people wanted otherwise, so we gave it another go. Unfortunately, we have even fewer unlicensed games completed this year. And even though it says 74/91, it's actually not very close to being finished. That's because of all the multicarts (especially Action 52), so in reality we're 99/156 with everything taken into consideration. There's actually quite a few more games to complete when you break it down like that.
I think for 2015, rather than try to complete unlicensed games for a third year, we should instead try to beat all licensed PAL games that weren't released in the Americas (I would say "exclusives," but some of the games were released in Japan). That should be our "side goal" for next year. Here's my reasoning (and don't say do them all, because that's not gonna happen):
1) The list is much shorter, and much more doable. It's about 35 games.
2) There's a lot of excellent games, like Gimmick & Ufouria. Plus, Banana Prince, Devil World, Hammerin' Harry, New Ghostbusters II, Over Horizon, Parodius Da - the average quality is much higher.
3) It gives us a new challenge and new games to play after two years of doing the same thing.
Thoughts?
Fine with me.
I own them all, except Mr. Gimmick.
I've even beaten some of them before and you're right, some of them are good like Parodius.
I think we got almost as far as we can with unlicensed in 2013.
Some of those games are just too buggy/unbalanced...
Action 52 the remaining games, except maybe 1, I don't think can be beaten without cheating.
Crystal Mines/Joshua/Exodus could probably be beaten if you allow the level skip code which is in all the instructions.
