carlsson Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 My revised list, with the games we actually played last year removed and a couple new random entries added. Since the world currently is all about war, my nomination for an early poll entry would be Operation Blood. Operation Blood Mad Stone Joe Blade Airball Dimension X Bug Attack Rockman Misja / Fred Questar IV Tagalon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
