Hey Gang,
I was thinking this site needs more camaraderie. In times like were in now, I think it be pretty sweet to have something to bring us all together. Since we all live on opposite sides of the world from each other, I was thinking... We should have monthly game challenges. Nintendo Power used to do this back in the day called the Arena. They would post 3 challenges for that month, then you would bust your ass trying to beat the best time, and take a Polaroid picture and send them into to Nintendo Power. Good times indeed ;D
So I'm thinking we should do that right here on VGC. Post 2-3 challenges a month, and users could submit their best scores via screenshot. This will all be played on real hardware only, with a picture of your setup, score on the TV, and your name somewhere in the picture. This is the best way to avoid any kind of cheating, and makes it a more genuine playing field for everyone involved.
So who's with me?

I'd maybe participate given the right circumstances, but I most likely wouldn't use original hardware.

Polaroid camera optional.

Well, what would we do for PC games? (Steam, Epic Games, Windows disc, GOG.com...)

Good question SonicFan,
PC games will come at a later date, until we can come up with a good way to avoid cheating.
Until then I'd like to stick with console games.
I'm a big a fan of racing games, so I'll throw out some to start with. Feel free to add some choice games to the list gang.
- Wave Race 64
- F-Zero (SNES)
- Wipeout (PS1)
- Beetle Adventure Racing (N64)
- Ridge Racer (PS1)

I do love me some Mario Kart, my only concern with MK games is that's a TON of ways to break the game. I've seen speed runs where people literately skip the entire level lol, So...
Let's start off the short month of April:
Wave Race 64 Challenge.
Best time on Sunset Bay: 3 Laps
Here's the manual to Wave Race
