#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 217

[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!

Whew, thankfully I can spare votes for the original PC version of Cave Story in this pool. Also gave 2 to Double Dragon and one spare vote for Golden Axe Warrior, the Legend of Zelda of the Master System.

Sadly, I didn't have any votes left over for Orbient, the good Art Style game.

My memory sucks is Cave Story+ considered a different game?

Under OG BGE rules, Cave Story+ would be a different game, and has not been nominated yet.

I went with Double Dragon - classic coop beat em up. I also gave a couple of votes to Golden Axe Warriors for being surprisingly good.
