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!

2 votes for Lost Winds 2 - even though it was bigger it didn't wow as the first version

Had to go with the excellent Blades of Steel (everyone's off-brand pick over the "official" Nintendo Ice Hockey game at the time), Dark Sun, and Willow here, as much as it hurts me to neglect Megalomania. I'll see you again in the elimination round.

Yars’ Revenge was one of the best Atari 2600 games there ever was. And it came with a comic book! Also Willow is the best NES game there ever was. Glad there were no other games to make me not give one of these full votes.
