1+ to eternal silence. I will do a poll tomorrow, and based on the top 3 we can make dates for games and the creation of a possible pool of games that could be used to organise past the first time.

Aaahhhhhh, curse you for making me choose between 3! This was hard! :P

I have a tiny suggestion though - if this whole thing proves successful, why not put the winners of each round in hibernation mode for a week? This way, any entry that people are obviously interested in but didn't make it has a chance in next round?

This thread is a cool idea, but I do not see empires on the poll. (which I was playing last night which was fun)

Plus I recommend tremulous a action/rts game similar to natural selection except that all of the players can build the buildings for the base.

To be honest I thought that 10 choices was a good idea for a first time, so if more people want to see empires I will add it.

AvP 2000 is out on steam, but idk if my old key will work on it. Who has AvP Gold?

It definitely shouldn't be problematic to get Eternal Silence, since anyone with Steam can install it. http://store.steampowered.com/app/17550/

There were at least 3+ people talking about Empires. Seems a disservice not to give as an option.
Abstaining from vote.

Looks like A New Zero is going strong as the front runner. gigaraptor, are you planning on hosting?

for the games that have no servers, I have 2 computers capable of running srcds at least. So for completely empty games I will manage servers/lobbies for them.

Am Voted.
Front runner's only 1 vote ahead of 2nd and 2 of 3rd. Not so cut and dry I'd say.
In anycase, looking forward to some retro-gaming in the near-ish future.

A note on AVP Classic 2000:

The game is 75% off for the next 16 hours, which makes it meager 0,75€.

HOWEVER: this version does not support multi-player

I'm downloading down, as I bought it few months ago and I'll import it to Steam library because Steam version does support multy - but I don't know if this will do the trick. EDIT: eh, if only it would be that simple...  :-\

To be honest though, AVP is 3€ on Steam (and on that note, so is GG's version), so even if this doesn't work it's not such a big money to enjoy some good old fashioned FPS fun.
