>>> Game of the Week <<<
After all those discussions about our forums to be too off-topic (which isn't true though...), I decided to start a "Game of the Week" thingy as you have them on all sorts of other forums, too.
I will announce a game of the week every Monday (I hope I won't forget...
For the first 10 weeks or so I will choose the games, i.e. you'll have to bear with my choices.
If GotW is a success (meaning: lots of GOOD posts and nice discussion), we could open that a bit and I'd take suggestions from good members.
I will post a link here every week, so follow that link to find the thread with the new GotW. Please don't post thoughts on the games here, always use the respective game pages.
Here you can post what you think about GotW in general. (Sorry for the confusion)
And here's what I thought might be good for posting:
- Do you own that game?
- What do you think about it?
- Do you have any fond memories/interesting stories/... about the game?
- If there are interesting videos (speedruns/commercials/etc) on youtube or somewhere, you can post the links here (if possible with a little description)
- Also feel free to post highscores and such (if applicable)
- Just talk about everything you feel might be interesting about the Game of the Week.
- A good thing might be to get the game out and play it for an hour or so.
The honour to be the first Game of the Week goes to...

What do you think about a Game of the Week in general? Do you like the idea? I hope you post a lot and make it a success so that we can recruit even more active members.
Happy posting.
Very good idea!
Also can the game be on any system other then Nes?
Very good idea, indeed, and Super Mario 3 is an excellent first choice, as in my opinion, this game was certainly the high point of the system for Mario games.
Indeed, I own the game, and it's one of the rare games my wife joins me in playing (along with SMB 1), and we think it's fantastic from start to finish, with just the right amount of difficulty. The graphics are unforgettable as well.
The first glimpse I got of this game, like many others, was in "The Wizard" movie back in the '80's. My first thought on seeing the movie was "I have to have this game!" As for high scores, I honestly can't remember, even though I had a notebook with all my high scores that I lost long ago.
Using the "print screen" feature, I made several charts of the card-memory game for added help (even though you can find these on every game FAQ site out there; I just like making my own).
And I know there's a convoluted strategy to getting it, but I always get the pirate ship instead of the Hammer Brother completely on accident, and it happens a lot. I'm also one of the nuts who insists on getting the 2nd Hammer Brother suit, even though it takes a lot of time!
As for playing it, good idea, but it'll have to wait until Saturday, I've got work this week! But it's funny you choose this game, because my wife and I have been thinking of playing it lately.
Great timing! My girlfriend and I were playing this just last night. Like ToddVania, it one of the few games she plays with me. She also made a rule for last night, no warping
I remember when this game first came out. It was pretty hard to get a hold of. It's also one of the many games were I remember where everything is at (1UPs, which chests have what in the mushroom huts, where every card is in the memory game, etc.).
Until last night, I forgot how badass the Hammer Brothers suit is. Is there anything it won't kill? I went through a mini-castle the other night with it on. I was able to kill ghosts, actually everything in the castle. I was also able to kill the end boss in one hit with the hammer (not that it is hard anyway).
Great game. Does anyone remember the video of the guy that beat it in 11 mins.?
Very good idea!
Also can the game be on any system other then Nes?
I'd like to have it NES-only (at least for the time being). This way it's guaranteed that more people are interested, right?
It's a NES forum at first, so I'd like to concentrate on
NES Games and see how it goes.
And: Please post your SMB3 thoughts in the SMB3 thread, which can be found here:
It was my bad, maybe not all of you have seen that the red "
Super Mario Bros. 3" in the first post was a link.
Sorry, my bad! I really need that 1st cup of coffee before I start posting.
I agree with you that it should be only NES. If this is successful, maybe Sega could have its own "Week" thread eventually.
Cool. I love game of the week thingys!

Haha.
One coffee in the morning is something nice. (But still I insist it was my bad because it wasn't very clear that it was a link...)
Well, it seems people like the idea, so happy posting.
i'll get into this after i'm done moving and all my stuff is unpacked. right now all my consoles and games are packed away except for the DS
