#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 229

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:

Destiny of an Emperor II doesn't have the same kind of iconic / nostalgic feeling as the original, but it's also good, for many of the same reasons.

I went with Phoenix (hopefully I’m not the only one voting for these) because it’s awesome and the source material for what a Demon Attack ripped off. Also POW was a fantastic NES (and arcade) beat em up.
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.

Only a vote for Wave Race 64. Got this as a Santa gift on Wii VC, wouldn't have gotten it myself at the time but enjoyed playing it (but I prefer the NGC version)
