I was just talking about an old gem of a game today, battlezone, and thought it was a shame that I could never play it in multiplayer because, well, the game is dead. So my proposal is this:
we create a new board called "Retro Game of the Week", and someone who will moderate this. It can be any kind of retro game as long as it has a MP mode. Every week there will be people posting suggestions, and the one with the most upvotes will be played. The one who suggested the game will then take preparations to allow a smooth gaming experience the next sunday (server etc)
Sunday: game is played, new list is suggested.
Monday: list is closed, people have time till sunday to play a bit around with it and get to know it in SP.
Sunday: game is played, ...
The important part is that people sign up for the game, and that signing up is mandatory. It would have to be some honour thing to really be there, otherwise this would die fast.
Anyone else that would like that one last chance to play those old games that have lost all their playerbase?
