Retro Handhelds
GameS of the month
One of the best parts about owning a new retro handheld is diving into the process of setting it up with an endless array of games. It’s when my favorite game, aptly named “Choice Paralysis” kicks in. Fortunately, RH has an incredible program called GotX, led by its intrepid leader Rapid99. It’s our community book club equivalent…for video games!
GAMES OF THE MONTH: WHAT IS IT?
Essentially, Games of the Month, or GotX, offers a way to play your way through games that you might not have ever thought of. In addition to the themed monthly games, Games of the Month has expanded to include “Role Playing Game of the Quarter”, or RPGotQ, and Game of the Week, also known as, Retro Bits. Hit the button below to learn more about how you can join in on the fun!
Current Games of the Month
Pre ’96: Adventures of Lolo
1996 – 2001: Neo Turf Masters / Big Tournament Golf
2002 and later: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Never Nominated November is the theme for GotM this month, and gives us an opportunity to break this cycle for a bit. All games that were nominated must have never been nominated for a GotM theme before. Once a theme is selected, active members of the RH Discord nominate and then vote on which three games are selected – each GotM is from a separate time period based on the initial release date. This month, the three games selected are Adventures of Lolo, Neo Turf Masters / Big Tournament Golf, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
