Old-Schooled is turning lucky number #13 just in time for back to school. Get ready for the test this September 23rd by watching the video below and listening to the secret game hint. Can you guess what the game is? If you can post your guess in the comments!
It’s almost the 3rd Sunday in August and that means Old-Schooled time is coming around yet again, and that means it’s time to tease you all with a secret game hint. Old-Schooled #12 is an all request tournament, so even the games from the secret list have been pulled from suggestions. Good luck to everyone this time around.
It seems like only yesterday it was Old-Schooled #10, and already Old-Schooled 11 is right on the horizon. So to get you revved up for this tournament we have the announcement with the six qualifying games, followed by a secret game hint. Think you can guess what this one is? I promise this one’ll be more fun to figure out than the last one.
Time sure does fly by, and Old-Schooled has already had ten tournaments under its belt. And for the tenth tournament in the series I wanted to do something special, and that’s where not only this challenge for the tournament comes from, but also where the video comes from. Featured in this video is Evan Small as himself, Abraham Forosan as the Cameraman, and myself as, well, myself, and Abaddon. Music this time around is the Pixel Peeker Polka provided by http://incompetech.com and Deathborn’s theme from F-Zero GX.
