If you would like to see a game on the following systems being played, suggest it and I'll let you know if I have it.

PS1
PS2

Gamecube
Wii

With that list, it might not be feasible to play them all due to time unless you want me to play all night. Now is the time to start a debate as to how this test will go. I want to see how long it will take me to switch between consoles so I will play at least 1 game on all 3 consoles. For the purpose of this, the PS2 will play PS1 games and the Wii will play GC games.

This could be me switching between games after 5-10 minutes playing 10 to 20 of the list or I could play the lot or focus on 5 games and play for a lengthier period. I'm happy to do any of them. Of course, after the test, if you want to see me play through a game that you would like to see, I'm more than happy to do that. There will also be a 360 and a PS3 test when I feel happy with the setup I have.

I look forward to your input and I hope you will enjoy this crazy attempt.

Okay, I should have everything to get this working. Jusr need to have a proper look at the software but I think that should be pretty straightforward.

My health is improving and I'm hoping to shake the worst of this cough this week.

I have a Justin tv account set up so if you want to chat, you might need to create one of your own or I can create something on here for those that don't want to create an account.

Hopefully I should have some more info on when this is happening soon.

Yeah, I don't think me coughing down the mic will improve the viewing experience, although I doubt my gameplay will improve things much either. :)

I'll update the first post so there is no confusion and I hope to hear from you all about how you would like this to go.

Really nice idea GP ... but get better first and then every interested party here can pitch in :¬)

Okay, I suppose I should update you all as to what is going on. I would guess that some of you have worked it out but anyway, let's get to the point.

I have come to be in the possession of some equipment that should allow me to record and livestream some games. I'd need to do a test run to check it all out and iron out any problems. I'm not going to be testing out 360 and PS3 yet as they could potentially lead to a few more problems but I will deal with that another time.

The list of games I've asked you for were games I would play on the livestream. Obviously, I don't have all the games mentioned but out of all the games mentioned, I have 38. That may be too many but it would be up to you, the viewing several.

I hope that you are interested in joining me in this potential disaster. No date has been arranged just yet and with my recent illness, I should probably try to recover first. I'll put the list of games up and then we can all decide where to go from there. The list of games will be in the main post.

Mid 90's there can't have been a 15 year old lad in the country who didn't own that game. It was actually a really good beat em up to be fair, it's just unfortunate that's not what it seems to be remembered for :)
