is an ongoing shuffling project serving as the flagship of my streams.
There are (usually) 12 games in the rotation, and they automatically switch every 1-5 minutes, preserving the gamestate exactly.
Eight of these are drawn from pre-set lists: Action Platformer, Mario, Mega Man, Mega Man X, Nintendo Misc., Puzzle, SHMUP, and Sonic
Once a game is completed, I simply move to the next game on the list next stream.
The other four games are "free." When it's time to pick a new one of them, I take the average release year of the other games, and pick something from that year.
I try to avoid games with complicated navigation, or that would otherwise be extra hard to play with constant interruption. That rules out a lot of RPGs and Zeldas and such!
I also won't play anything I've beaten before- this is about catching up on stuff I missed! (or at least, that I never completed)
And I don't like playing games with text I can't read!
Due to software limitations, this will go up to about N64, PS1, and Game Boy Advance, and some formats like Arcade and Dreamcast are unusable.
Currently we're at 16 games due to charity incentives! I'm also testing an RPG because I'm a glutton for punishment...
