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!

Banjo Kazooie holds up today as one of the best 3D platformers.

No. Looks like it’s the Atari 2600 port, which was quite good. I think it hdd as d an arcade version that was knots the same thing but looked a little better... Vic, correct me if I’m wrong but be nice lol

Anyway, vote for Gate of Thunder. It’s better in every conceivable way.

The original was an arcade cabinet. This is the historic Atari 2600 port. From Wikipedia:

• The Atari port was the first official licensing of an arcade game for consoles.
• The Atari port was the first "killer app", quadrupling the console's sales.
• It sold over two million units in its first year on sale as a home console game, making it the first video game to sell over a million copies.
