Pocketober

Some of you may remember my #mostgames challenge that I worked on at the beginning of this year, trying to climb the speedrun.com list of "Most Games Played". I never really gave this up goal, but I realized that what I considered a "speedrun" differed from other people, and that's okay. It just meant that getting the top spot may not be attainable with the way I was doing things. The challenge to myself was what was really important, and I plan to continue...

So this month, we're doing Pocketober. I have a list of GB games that I want to learn this month. I *will* be working on other stuff. I don't expect to finish this whole list. But in the spirit of learning more games, and giving love to one of my favorite (and objectively best) video game libraries, I have decided to dedicate this month primarily to the Game Boy. The following list is in alphabetical order, but I will work on them in whatever order interests me:

Alien 3
Banishing Racer
Barbie Game Girl
Batman
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Crayon Shin-chan 4
Darkwing Duck
Double Dragon
Double Dragon 2
Ducktales
Ducktales 2
Felix the Cat
Fortified Zone
Hammerin' Harry Daiku no Gen-san
Kid Dracula
Kid Niki
Kirby's Dream Land
Mickey's Dangerous Chase
Miracle Adventure of Esparks
Ninja Gaiden Shadow
Pocket Bomberman
Popeye 2
Rubble Saver / Adventures of Star Saver
Rubble Saver II
Super Hunchback
Talespin
Tekkyu Fight!
The Addams Family
The Little Mermaid
Tiny Toon Adventure: Babs' Big Break
Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Montana's Movie Madness
TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan
Toy Story
Trax
Ultraman Ball

Any game I don't get to will definitely be kept around. All of these games interest me, but many of them are quite a bit harder than others, so one month is definitely too ambitious to play them all at the level I would want to. I just want to set up reasonable expectations.
