Wish there was a site where people could share guided #retrogaming playlists.

Like ‘wanna see how stealth games have evolved? Here's six milestones to play that'll give you a solid grounding in the history of the genre’.

Or ‘do you suck at 2D platformers? Play these four games in this order; there's a good difficulty ramp and if you can beat all four you should be able to tackle anything’.

I want to be able to assign, or be assigned, homework, basically. Gaming with a metagoal.

@[email protected] Lists in Backloggd could work well for this, but people don't seem to use it that way

Here's an example I found with some guiding:
https://backloggd.com/u/LucasTheYeti/list/introduction-to-video-games/

Compared to a basic genre list:
https://backloggd.com/u/Tzurki2/list/beat-em-up-genre-history/

But that added context makes all the difference

@[email protected] Oh yeah, this would absolutely do it. Had no idea you could annotate lists on there.

@[email protected] Yeah, and I like how it greys-out the games your account has marked as "Played", so you could use it as a checklist/playlist

I just wish Backloggd user lists were more creative and less filled with lists like "games I want to play" or "games I played this year"
