It's been pretty fun for me and I've never really engaged in things like this in the past at other places. Would be cool to see some new faces jump in during the months!

Indeed. I'm looking forward to next year and pushing outside my gaming comfort zone.

20thcenturygamer anayo Chainsaw Bilqis dunpeal2064 hooplehead Jameson Moulinoski Sarge ShakeWell toei @tsumuri Xeogred Well everybody we aregetting close to the end of the year. Club Retro only has one month left insofar as a preordained theme. Nothing's been set yet for 2020. If you'd like to participate in Club Retro next year, then by all means please give us your suggestions insofar as how to improve the experience. By that I mean: monthly themes you'd like to see, improvements to the model we use, or any suggestions outside those things. Thanks! A "light gun games" month would be cool if we haven't done that already.

I like that, though light gun games aren't nearly as fun playing with a controller or a mouse.
I know we had talked about Game Gear Month and Action RPG month. I'd like to do a samurai / ninja month. Seems that would cover plenty of games. We talked about a non-Mario/Sonic platformer month, too.

Another thing we could consider is that, for some months, especially when games might be short and easy to burn out on, we could do a bi-weekly theme.

Okay folks so it's time to start narrowing down themes for 2020. I'm going to list all the ideas that have been thrown out lately. It would be help if you'd rate each idea by interest level. 0 = not interested at all, 1 = moderately interested, 2 = very interested.
Here's the current candidates:
8-bit Capcom Games Action-RPG month Dreamcast Dual-Themed Months European exclusives (games that never appeared in USA or Japan) Game Gear Light Gun Games Mascot Platformers Mech Madness Metroidvanias N64 month Ninjas! Puzzle Games (as in pure puzzle games, not adventure games) Star Trek X Star Wars Tardy to the Party (Play widely-considered classic-greats you missed.) Westerns Month
By all means feel free to throw out more suggestions for themes.

I don't know how much my vote is worth considering I haven't been gaming in a while, but here goes:
8-bit Capcom Games - 0
Action-RPG month - 2
Dreamcast - 2
Dual-Themed Months - 0
European exclusives (games that never appeared in USA or Japan)- 0 - but I would be interested if we add Japanese games that were only localized in Europe - there are great ones on the PS2!
Game Gear - 2
Light Gun Games - 0, unless there are good light gun solutions for modern TVs, in which case it's a 2
Mascot Platformers - 1
Mech Madness - 0
Metroidvanias - 1
N64 month - the zeroest of all
Ninjas! - I said ninjas and samurai, which isn't the same - 2
Puzzle Games (as in pure puzzle games, not adventure games) - 0
Star Trek X Star Wars - 0
Tardy to the Party (Play widely-considered classic-greats you missed.) - 1
Westerns Month - 2

Ninjas! - I said ninjas and samurai, which isn't the same Okay, that month can include both concepts then. Fine with me at least.
