The problem would be to make a game list though. Shadow Man and GTA: San Andreas are the only two oldish games that come to mind with a black main character. You can add some brawlers and fighting games that have multiple characters and also many sport games (mostly basketball), but that's about it. I am game for San Andreas though, but is it retro enough? It's a 2004 game.

How about February is the shortest month, so short games as a theme?

No idea what games those would be though.

I dig it.

Short games and the friendly challenge amongst forum-bros is who can speed-run it the fastest?

Not trying to encourage autistic obsession like your typical AGDQer, but it's something to add spice to the mix.

My suggestions:

Rush N' Attack
Contra
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Double Dragon

Heh, I was just thinking I can beat NES Double Dragon II pretty quick.
The super knee attack wrecks the final boss with his bullshit flying spinning fist that takes 3 health cubes off.

Hmm I'm drawing a blank. Short games? Bayou Billy? Bad dudes? Maybe they were only short because I sucked at em hahaha.

Votes will start Sunday (ish)

So get some nom-nominations in.

Fast fun games seemed to be a good thing to go with our short / fast month of febtruberry

I'll nominate Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island again. Not as short as some of the other games nominated, but still not bad.

In honor of it just hitting 21 years old and it's remake launching this week, I nominate Resident Evil 2. It's a short game and features a POC for February.
