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.

    @questlog I hadn’t seen Questlog before (thanks, @EighthLayer!) but Playlists are halfway there already, I think.

    Someone linked this on Backloggd as an example of a guided list: https://backloggd.com/u/LucasTheYeti/list/introduction-to-video-games/ Kind of a Playlist/editorial combo.

    Ideally, there’d need to be a way to annotate individual entries with notes; more importantly, there’d need to be a way to search and discover playlists by title (maybe I missed this?)

    I think that’d get you 95% of the way there.

    Thanks for reaching out! :D

      @[email protected] @[email protected] Searching for playlists is on my list already but not implemented yet. The notes feature is a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion. This should be pretty easy to implement.

      I’ll start work on Questlog again soon so this will definitely be some if the next improvements.

      Thank you for your suggestions! I’ll keep you updated!
