Wondering if the fine folks around here ever have or do, for lack of a better term, "themed gaming sessions/nights"?
I often find myself wanting to pre-select a grip of games to play for an evening, all with some sort of connection. It can be a vague connection or a bunch of direct sequels one after another.
For example, playing all the launch titles for a particular system (the European N64 launch title list sounds like a pretty fun evening), playing as many different TMNT games as you own, playing both versions of games that were released for SNES and Genesis back to back, only playing SNK fighters, playing only movie-licensed games, etc etc etc.
Personally, i dig Umbrella Corp-themed nights every once in a while, popping in each Resident Evil title chronologically and selecting a random typewriter save and start doing some "split second game immersion", as (at least for me) it's fun to compare and experience the similarities/differences within a series.
So, anybody here do anything similar when selecting titles for an evening? What and how do you select the games to play in a single chunk of time? I'd also be interested in hearing about any epic themed gaming sessions, like maybe you and your crew sampled every TG16 game in one afternoon, or maybe you played every LJN game released on NES in one night (brutal and sadistic, but i bet somebody's done it!!)
