#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 171

[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!

Hmm, I only voted for Front Mission here, the last good Front Mission game (actually 2 games, since the two paths are pretty different). And it has its own entire internet. Man, what a weird one. Great combat and mechs though.

I only voted for Silent Hill: Homecoming for being a pretty good game. Not great but pretty good.

Silent Hill Homecoming was a good return to form/modernization for the series after struggling for a few entries. Sucks that was sort of it for the franchise.

Downpour was quite good, too...

I completely forgot about Downpour. I think I combined the two games. Homecoming was a good return to form, downpour was a good modernization of the series.

CTR was the best kart racer of that generation.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is not nearly as good as its successors, but it's still damn good. Countless hours poured into that one.

The House of the Dead 2 is also one of my arcade favorites. Bought a light gun on Dreamcast just to play it.

Looks like I'll be the only one voting for Jetpack Joyride. I've only played a bit of it, but it's good fun! Solid mobile title.

I've heard good things about West of Loathing but haven't played it. Maybe by next BGE I will have.
