This week, Eurogamer celebrates its 25th birthday, and to mark the occasion, we’re inviting you to take part in a community game of pass-the-parcel with us. We’d love you to post your most memorable Eurogamer moment in the comments below. After that, we will randomly pick one commenter at the end of the week as our winner. The prize goes to a lucky fan who will receive a brand new Switch OLED: Mario Red Edition, kindly provided by Nintendo.
Keep an eye on the word “randomly”: in previous giveaways centered on personal memories—which I genuinely enjoy, and which I’ve run for Street Fighter, Zelda, Star Wars, and, uh, Christmas—I personally chose the winners. That said, because this particular prize is significantly higher in value, we felt it would be fairer to determine the winner at random. I’ll share the result on Saturday.
That’s all you really need to know. If you’re looking for ideas, you could skim through some of the earlier giveaway threads to get your own memories flowing. You can also look out for the anniversary podcast coming later this week, where I’ll be getting the site’s former editors together again in the hopes of joggling a few memories—at least, it worked for me. Most importantly, thank you for sticking with us for all this time. Your presence genuinely helps shape what makes Eurogamer special.
Good luck, and here’s to the next 25 years!
