#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 137

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:

Lode Runner is excellent, but it doesn't quite get full votes because it always annoyed me! lol

Academy isn't quite main series Wing Commander, but it's got shooting and space.

I’ve never played any of these in my entire life.
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Nintendo Land remains a fantastic local multiplayer experience. Katana Zero was one of the better games of 2019.

Mother 3 probably deserves to do better in this bracket, but blame Nintendo for refusing to localize it.

Nintendo Land came out while I was in college, so it was perfectly timed for me to play it with max players, which I think pushed it higher in my esteem than perhaps the average player. It's loads of fun with a bunch of people.
