#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 27

[This Old Neon]

Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set 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 later this year.

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!

Warioware on Wii holds some or my favourite local multiplayer memories.

I'm trying to play through Bastion right now but it's not really hooking me.

R-Type is the best shooter I’ve played. Epic and fun and hard-but-fair. Gorgeous and great music, too. A perfect game, frame by frame, imho. Animal Crossing for being a unique and immersive game...one that can become a part of your life like few others games can. Finally, TMNT 3 for being great co-op. I love TMNT arcade style games.

I'm trying to playing through Bastion right now but it's not really hooking me.

I went into it fully expecting to love it, but it didn't really hook me either. I was considering tossing it my last vote, but I couldn't really bring myself to do so if I was being honest about my memories of playing the game.

Zork is another one of those great genre-defining games. I also voted for TMNT, even though it's not my fave among their arcade brawlers, it's still top-shelf.
