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!

1 vote for Dr. Mario - don't know if I've played the NES version, but I like the series

Top votes to the excellent branching paths tactical RPG Der Langrisser. Excellent proper follow-up to Warsong.
2 votes to Dr. Mario, which is excellent on NES and has the kind of great tunes necessary to make a block-puzzler addictive.
Final vote to the last great Street Fighter game.

Just Dr Mario here for me. Good game and I don’t even like stacking games.

Hudsonsoft's Felix the Cat was the first video game I've ever beaten. It's a great kid's platformer, and even if it doesn't do well here, I strongly recommend anyone who can get their hands on it to give it a try. Its power up system was pretty unique, I feel.
