#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 122

Post by This Old Neon »

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! :neon:

Abstaining as I haven’t played any of these.
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Lost Vikings is good and smart and stylish... but I hated it, so I was going to dock it a vote. But I figure it deserves the votes, especially in this bracket, despite my own personal dislike. :)

I'll vouch for Rusty's Real Deal Baseball once more - awesome arcade experience from Nintendo.

3 votes for Killer Instinct, great graphics and decent enough of a fighter
2 votes for Lost Vikings, played the PC version more but I think I've hired the SNES version at some point. Loved the puzzle element in this game.
1 vote for Rayman 2, even though I don't know if I played this version
