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!

I gave RE1 some votes for being a really good survival horror game. Also see I gave Warsong some votes for being one of the very best Genesis games and that says a lot.

Warsong is truly one of the great old-school tactical RPGs. I think it's better than the first Fire Emblem, anyway. The fucking awesome Genesis soundtrack by Noriyuke Iwadare does a lot of heavy lifting here as well.



Bonus for Share:

That’s awesome. I bought that game not knowing what it was because .of the cover. I loved fantasy and I didn’t feel like there were lots of options for that at the store that day. Loved it to no end.

Atic Atac is a cute little haunted house game by Rare. It was the most surprising gem for me on Rare Replay. It's a totally dinky game, but I found it really cute and just had to nominate, even though I was sure no one else would vote for it.

There's still tons of time for people to play it and vote for it before the round robins are over!
