My feelings on The Demon Rush
It is well-known on our IRC channel that PJ loves bad, obscure games.
Well one day, PJ and romscout had a round of one-upmanship, which finally culminated in a mystery game exchange, where the two had to exchange games, and the other person wouldn't know what it was, but they had to speedrun it anyway.
PJ sent romscout Plok, an underrated platformer that has some cheap hits, but great graphics and some cool concepts (like firing your own limbs).
Romscout sent PJ Mo Hawk and Headphone Jack, a game that looks like the SNES went on a bender and threw up all over itself with mode 7. Watch a video here if you don't believe me. WARNING: If you easily get motion sick, don't watch the video. This game also nearly drove PJ to tears on stream.
So what I'm proposing is a bad game exchange. There are a few conditions before participating in this.
-The game can't already have a run on the site (so nothing like Deadly Towers)
-The game can't be very popular. The game you choose shouldn't be incredibly well-known.
-You have to speedrun the game you're given.
-No RPGS or super long games. The game should probably be about an hour at most.
-Having a backloggery helps so no one sends you a game you already have by accident. If you don't really care about making it a mystery, you can just ask the person you're trading with has the game you want to send.
-Lagoon and Batman Forever are off-limits, because PJ actually wants to run those games.
-If you can't figure out what "poverty gaming" means, then this exchange is not for you. (think b-movie or Bad Street Brawler)
-The exchange can't occur until during or after the marathon, because a lot of us will be too busy until then. However, if you want to bring the game you want to trade to the marathon to avoid shipping costs, by all means go ahead.
NES, Genesis, and SNES games would work best for this challenge, but if you find a newer game that fits the guidelines, then go for it.
You don't have to have the game as long as if you have the funds to buy it (like on ebay) and ship it to the person you're exchanging with.
