Wish there was a site where people could share guided #retrogaming playlists.
Like ‘wanna see how stealth games have evolved? Here’s six milestones to play that’ll give you a solid grounding in the history of the genre’.
Or ‘do you suck at 2D platformers? Play these four games in this order; there’s a good difficulty ramp and if you can beat all four you should be able to tackle anything’.
I want to be able to assign, or be assigned, homework, basically. Gaming with a metagoal.
@retrohistories@digipres.club I’ve had an unrelated but similarly niche desire to listen to/participate in a screenshot critique club, going over the games that punch above their weight graphically for their age with things like effects, lighting, and textures. The closest thing I’ve found is Aesthetic Stills on Facebook, which is where these shots come from.
