If you're like me, you have at least one old PC/console title that you'd like to see featured in one of Yahtzee's occasional retrospective reviews. Perhaps if enough people request a retrospective review of an old chestnut Yahtzee's fond of, he'll oblige us. Or perhaps not, in which case this will just be a fun exercise in wishful thinking.

So what old game would you like to see Yahtzee feature in a retrospective review, and why?

Personally, I'd like to see a review of Deus Ex. There's a lot to mock about this game, such as its clunky graphics, not-so-stellar voice acting and ridiculously convoluted plot. But there's a lot to like, too: Deus Ex is a graceful hybrid of FPS and RPG; the level design is excellent; and it is to my knowledge the first video game to let the player choose (tactically and/or ethically) how to accomplish their objectives.

we have to wait until summer, when the stream of games drys up, to start requesting stuff, but it probably won't work anyway.

Welcome to...actually I'll leave the more experienced members to that.

Personally, I'd like him to have a go at a Football Manager game. But that's just me.

(I recommend you lurk more before you post threads. It doesn't go down well.)

Paper Mario. God, would he ever thrash the most beautiful part of my childhood.
It would be glorious to see him make fun of the same things I have all these years.

Welcome to the Escapist!!!

I also second the recommending. If you join and start a thread on ZP you look like a SERIOUS fanboy.

Just slowly ease in with some witty comments.

Personally, I'd like to see what he'd make of Gitaroo Man if forced to play it at gunpoint.

Maybe you've forgotten, but Yahtzee loves Paper Mario (to a given value of "love") considering 'Thousand Year Door' to be his favourite Mario game of all.

There isn't an 'old fav' I'd like him to do, a lot of them don't have enough for him to make jokes about and thats the main reason I watch it.

I go by the rule "If the review isn't that funny, the game was pretty good"

No but seriously I'd like him to review Mario Party 1.

Well, yes, but I wish to see him take apart the original. In all due respect, but in case you've forgotten, he still tends to find good amounts of fault even in his favourite games.

Hmmm.... Maybe I'm a geek, but I'd like to see if he'd even glance sideways at a copy of Baroque. (PS2, not the Wiit version).
It's got the same roguish gameplay as Demon's Souls, but a far stranger motif and unforgiving tendency to deny the player portions of the story if they die even once.
