I did enjoy it, but I guess I was expecting a little more having just finished off Loom (which was also a little underwhelming). I'm looking forward to reading through everyone else's reviews.

Say, everyone who'd wanted to guest-blog a particular game could send their attempt (and perhaps get a few CAPs for their effort), but only the best would get the honour of being published here (and loads of CAPs).<br /><br />TBD's suggestion could also be added here: say, winners of one year might have to take a break for the games of the next year, so that guest-blogs wouldn't concentrate on same people.<br /><br />And if Trickster is afraid of all the work in reading and evaluating the attempts of all the contestants, I am sure a new Adventure Gamer Committee could be set up for this task.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-59912275479681507182013-10-23T12:17:55.900+11:002013-10-23T12:17:55.900+11:00I don't know if you'll get that many volun...I don't know if you'll get that many volunteers. My inherent laziness would prefer me to read other people's bloggings than write my own.<br /><br />Having said that, I suddenly have a desire to fire up WinUAE and replay It Came From the Desert so maybe I'll do it while taking notes and screenshots in case this idea does pan out.<br /><br />A simple way to share the joy would be if multiple people do want to blog a game but some of them have already guest-blogged other games, the gig goes to the person who hasn't yet guest-blogged. But that doesn't solve the problem of a bunch of people all preferring to blog the same game.TBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815382857422719383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-57130408136664298822013-10-23T11:21:30.057+11:002013-10-23T11:21:30.057+11:00I also have fond memories of that game on my Amiga...I also have fond memories of that game on my Amiga TBD. I can still hear the bugs chirping in the background. :)<br /><br />I guess we should revisit how it would work for others to blog through the games that don't make the list. It would be easy enough for me to post it under a heading such as Missed the Cut: It Came From the Desert (by TBD) or something like that. I'm actually pretty excited by the idea of other games being blogged through on the site by readers while I continue down the actual game list.<br /><br />The main question I always have is how will it be decided who gets to blog through each game? The only way I can think of is for the first person that puts their hand up after the game list for a year is set gets the opportunity, but that doesn't seem completely fair. What if someone has been hanging out to play a game, only to miss out due to time zones. We certainly don't want multiple people blogging through the same games though, so I'm not sure there is a better system.<br /><br />Thoughts?The Tricksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419316208187255801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-62078238157873772932013-10-23T08:38:38.163+11:002013-10-23T08:38:38.163+11:00I'd love to read someone's blogging of It ...I'd love to read someone's blogging of It Came From the Desert.
