The [NEW] GRcade Gaming Alphabet 2024 - NEW ALPHABET NOW LAUNCHED PG. 21

In Memoriam…

The games I played a bit of for the first time in 2023 but not enough to say I have ‘experienced’ them, although enough that I can’t now put them on next year’s list.

- 3 Count Bout
~~- Blasphemous~~
- Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock
- Bramble: The Mountain King
- The Banished Vault
- The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales
- Caves of Qud
- Dune: Spice Wars
- Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
- Metroid Prime: Remastered
- Monster Hunter: Rise
- Poinpy
- The Quarry
- Terra Invicta
- To The Moon

EDIT - Just did a bit more of Blasphemous to hit an hour. I reckon it now counts for the list.

Blasphemous is brilliant.

I, too, need to play more Terra Invicta though. Think I've played about eight hours which was barely scratching the surface.

The Banished Vault is the one I’m most annoyed at. I bought the physical manual and everything!

Play Blasphemous and Metroid Prime Remastered *and* put them in the list next year.

Just added a few more games. To be honest I just got into a bit of a CS:GO hole earlier in the year and didn't fancy stopping to tick off more letters. I also then got into replaying classic FPS games, many of which I have played already!

Thanks for running this again though Mocky, it's a great idea

Think I'm up to date with my alphacheevos now. Thanks Mocky, looking forward to next year :wub:

Yeah, even though I haven't done quite as good as last year, it's still been a good time. Thanks for running, Mocky! Hope it returns next year.

So if you're thinking "that's a lot of games"... the majority of them are very short indie things!

Going to launch a 2024 version in the coming days!

God bless you.

Absolutely didn't buy three games starting with Z, K and J on New Year's Eve :shifty:

I definitely didn't punch the air when I realised one of the free Epic Game Store titles started with a number. :shifty:

Well, I've definitely got a game to put on the 2024 one already. And I'm sure there'll be plenty more coming. Especially since I've got a few games I still haven't played yet.

If my first session of The House of Da Vinci 2 began on New Year's Eve but ended on New Year's Day, does it qualify for my 2024 calendar? :shifty:

I just want to be sure before I anger rinks. :dread:

Sounds like you started it in 2023

But you can count it under "T" or "H" if that helps!

"D", "V", or "2" are also fine

In general it is allowed to include games you play during the Christmas period prior to a new year, just because traditionally it's a time where people have more space to enjoy gaming. I am going to allow any new games played from 15th December 2023 for use in the 2024 alphabet AS LONG AS YOU DON'T ALSO INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR 2023 ALPHABET.
