#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 114

[This Old Neon]

Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.

The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming later this year.

HOW TO VOTE

Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.

• You have 6 total votes to distribute.
• You can only select up to 3 options.
• You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
• NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
• The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.

EXAMPLES

• You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
• If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
• If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).

This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!

If you have questions, ask before voting!

Rogue Legacy and Thomas Was Alone are a couple of excellent indie games from 2013. They're tied closely together in my gaming memory. Rogue Legacy is one of my proudest platinum trophies—hard game!

I went with just Ninja Gaiden Sigma here. A tough but incredible game. Was tempted to give Thief 2 a vote as well but Ninja Gaiden is too much better than it.

Thomas Was Alone is still fantastic, really impressed me when I played it for the first time last year.

Imagine Clay not voting for F-Zero X.
