#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 20

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the second round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence 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... realistically in early 2021.

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! :neon:

It's gonna be a tough pool for me to not give 3 votes to classic Mega Man. This is not such a pool.
You got BOOST power!

MM4 (which is good if a bit redundant) and Heretic for me.
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.

Battle City is a really cool arcade-style top-down tank game, where you drive a tank around a battlefield made up of classic NES-lookin' tiles fighting other tanks and protecting your base. It also had a 2-player co-op mode and a level editors. Great game! I think it must have been rare... maybe not even released in North America? The copy I played was on 31-in-1.

2 votes for Heretic for being great, and 1 vote for MM4 for being a slightly less good MM2 or MM3.

Minish Cap (3)
Still holds up to this day and is really really charming and fun.

Shantae (2)
I liked this game, didn't love it but I felt it deserved a 2. Note its the first game of the series that I played so it was a strange one to start with gameplay wise.
