For every major marathon there are a handful of runners who suggest games they currently are not comfortable with or maybe has never ever played for the sole reason that it's a popular game and they believe it has a higher chance of making it into final schedule. This is necessarily not a bad thing and it has attracted our interest. Therefore, we present to you:
Bounty games!
So, what's this all about?
It's a way for us organizers to put our personal touch on the schedule by pre selecting games that we would like to see during the marathon. When discussing what games would be suitable we had a few criterion like that the games should be recognizable, affordable, not too RNG heavy, not too long but most importantly not have an already huge community.
How are runner for each games decided?
The runner/runners with the best time/times at a certain deadline will be the winner of the bounty, and will be asked, if willing, to play that particular game during ESA2014. Dates will be decided in the near future, but the deadline be around the same time as the game suggestion thread goes live.
Hopefully the runs will turn in races / co-op.
What are the games in question? (Tentative list. Final list will feature 4-5 games)
Castle of Illusion HD
Castlevania Rebirth
Sparkster (SNES version)
Ikaruga
Mega Man 1-6 (Robot masters only)
Gunstar Heroes
