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!

Suikoden II is good.

Maybe it's just the marketing of the '80s, but I have memories of Skate or Die! being the most badass game. It's definitely something that any skateboarding video game aficionados should check out.

I agree on Skate or Die. It was good and fun. An early entry in a unique genre. Skateboardin on Atari 2600 was a good early one too.

I never have gotten to Suikoden II, sadly, so I’m going all in for Paranormal Activity. Great game.

Ruby/Sapphire were really great. Maybe it's because they were followed by the less-great Gen IV, but they remain some of my favorites. Fond memories of playing this even when it was "uncool" for kids my age to still be playing it.
