I'm good with the idea of the lowest rated games on Steam. However, I would prefer that if we're doing bad games that they again be short experiences like July.

I'm good with the theme though.

Oh dear - we tried Superman 64 at Moho_00's house one night....Pretty sure beating the first stage is a challenge all on it's own.

Back when I worked at my in-laws video game store, I remember beating the first level once (it took like 20 tries)...then you are instantly brought to another level and have only 8 seconds to beat it, having no idea what you have to do lol...safe to say I didn't beat it in the 8 seconds and it started me back at the beginning and I quickly shut the system off....

So basically yeah why not I'll give it a shot lol

I may even stream it on Youtube for good measure hahaha

I was also thinking that another bounty theme could be 'Games that you can easily get all achievements' for the achievement whores out there...(like me!!) :P

@WhitsEnd - As @jwcooley mentioned, we tried playing it a while back and it's TOUGH. Once I got the hang of it, it wasn't TOO bad, considering I expected it to be the worst game of all time. It's horribly broken, but oddly satisfying in some ways. It's a terrible game, but not the worst I've ever played...not sure I can make it through though just because of the difficulty :P I'd be very interested to see a stream of it!

I actually was just gifted Hooters Road Trip over the weekend so that one gets a vote from me.

Oh man, I totally forgot about Undying and Outlast. Man, October is shaping up to be awesome.

I just thought of the Five Nights at Freddy's series

Undying is one of my all time favorites :) Scared the shit out of me as a teen when it first came out.

Undying is great! I'd love to play through that one again. We have enough horror-themed games that we could probably just do September and October as one giant bounty theme :P

One of the games at the top of my list is MediEvil. I never actually finished that one and I really want to. I'm also about halfway through Resident Evil 3, so maybe a bounty would motivate me. There's also D, which I picked up on a GOG sale recently...it's been a looong time since I played through that one. Oh and I picked up The Thing a while back, which I've wanted to try for a long time and I think @dhobo said it was worth playing?

Man, it sounds like we need two months....I'm pumped!

# 71 - Posted on 8/3/2016 14:19:18

There are SO many games which can work for this bounty. The thing is selecting which ones get the featured bounty-ness. Some suggestions I have are:

Dark Fall (series)
Doom (series)
Pathologic
And another vote for Harvester because that game is absolutely ridiculous and it needs to be played by more people.

But the ones I would want to play most have already been mentioned (D, Undying, Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth). So make sure those are on the list ;).

Sounds like it's settled then, September and October will be horror games!!

@Marcus - D, Undying, and Dark Corners of the Earth sound like locks to me :D I've been wanted to play the latter for a long time (made it about halfway through before, it's really cool).

I never did finish Undying. I still have a disc version of the game somewhere around here...
