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!
NHL '94 is one of the best sports games of all time. I'd say it's the last great arcade hockey game (the rest have just been iterative sims—boring).
Also voted for Contra and Tony Hawk. Snubbing FFVI here because IMO the PS1 version of VI was the least essential—it came out too shortly after the superior SNES original, whereas the other ports gave you more reason to play them (V hadn't been released in the west before, and the rest were slightly older by this time).

Tony Hawk got way better after the first entry (no manuals!!), but THPS1 is still a classic, and I still put a hell of a lot of time into it. 3 votes. I look forward (hopefully) to nominating Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 this weekend.
