#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 80

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:

DuckTales is good but maybe not as good as some people like to suggest.

Ep. 1 Racer is so dang fast. I just played it for the first time a couple months ago, platinuming it on PS4. It doesn't have a lot of meat to it, and the AI is WAY too easy, but the sense of speed is simply incredible. It may even beat same-generation F-Zero X, but I haven't replayed the latter in awhile, and this version did benefit from being remastered on PS4. Regardless, it's a blistering, fun game.
You got BOOST power!

DuckTales is a pretty good, but short, platformer with pretty good music. Capcom.

Minesweeper is one of those iconic time-killing pack-ins with a great execution on a simple design.
