October 2024

Continuing a tradition I've observed for at least ten years, I will celebrate the month of October by starting a new game each day until Halloween. That's a lot of games! But I try to throw some shorter games into the mix as well to spread out the larger efforts. The list is organized by date. This year I'm starting with Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, and finishing with Black Widow Recharged on Halloween. Note that Pinball FX3 is scheduled twice in the month but can only appear on this list once, so the list shows 30 titles instead of the full 31. *Ghosts 'n Goblins and its sequel, Ghouls 'n Ghosts appear on Capcom Arcade Stadium. *Pinball FX3 features the table "Monster Bash" on the 5th, and the table "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" on the 20th. *Beast Busters and SAR: Search and Rescue appear on the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. *Various Darkstalkers games appear on Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium. *Demon's Crest appears on the Super Nintendo app via Nintendo Switch Online. *Atari 50 appears on the list in place of Haunted Houses, a contemporary game included in that collection. *Black Widow Recharged is the final game, but the original arcade release will be played as well (as per tradition).
