Forum Game The great game save save relay!

[RageBurner]

A long time ago a friend of mine and I used to do something, way back when we were first discovering emulation: for certain games, we'd share a single save file and pass it to each other each week, incrementally progressing until the game was finished.

I can't remember with exact precision, but Ogre Battle and Final Fantasy 6 were two of the games we cleared through this kind of incremental relay.

So here's the proposal: would you guys like to have this on RGT? obviously there would be no pressure whatsoever nor there would be deadlines and participation would be entirely optional. If there is enough interest, I'll implement a simple voting system from within this thread, and we'll see where it goes.

Here's the outline:

1) A game is chosen.
2) A common emulator is chosen.
3) Game saves should be DMed to a moderator, along with details about the point in the game in which it was made.
4) The moderator will then make the save file public within this thread so that the next participant can take over.

I'm down to it, but if mirroring the Nostalgia Society poll event I'll be playing only the games I'm interested in... that is, only 2D or early lowpoly games.

I'd like it to be a separate vote, to keep things more interesting.

I'm not saying I'd have time to throw in but this sounds adorable as heck so, I've gotta say "yes, okay people should do this thing."

Also, Duckstation has my vote for emulator of choice for at least LInux and Windows support. I assume Mac, too.

It will depend on the game chosen if this gets off the ground, yes. For PS1, Duckstation has zero competition, realistically.
