#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 232

[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!

Yay, a bracket where I get to cast 3 votes! Giving my big votes to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which ended up being a fantastic execution of an excellent concept, even on consoles. Just an overall great strategy game with great design and fun battles.

Second vote goes to Fallout 3, which, despite its many problems, still ended up being a nice big dark world with some fun character-building and some fun missions.

Final one-off goes to Wolf3D, one of the early great FPS games. Had some fun with this on our old clunky PC back in the day.

Just Gyruss and Bloodline here for me. I love shooters and Castlevania....what can I say?
