#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 87

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:

Interesting mix here. I'm giving big votes to the original Lemmings (great concept, great execution), and then going down the line to Link's Awakening and SimCity (I prefer other SimCities on other platforms, but this one is OK).

Honourable mentions to TxK, Woah Dave! and Kinetica for being good unique games. If I had more votes, I would have given one to each of them.

F-Zero X is my favorite F-Zero game. It is not the best, at least in many respects, but it is my favorite. Max votes. Mario Maker was also good, even if it was fairly quickly made obsolete by its sequel, and it'll be a tough bracket where I don't cast at least one vote for classic Mega Man.
You got BOOST power!
