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!

I voted for a couple games that had stuff to do in them.

The Silver Star is a beautiful game. I keep saying I preferred the original SCD version of the game even though I spent just as much if not more time with the PS1 "remaster"—I think it might be because the SCD version was more decidedly "old school" and felt in line with the SNES RPGs I was also playing at that time.

I also gave Sound Shapes a couple votes. It's a pretty hard platforming-esque-thing, and I played through it three times, so it was definitely at least quite playable.

I've always wanted to play Silver Star.

The game is in many ways quite a simple 16-bit RPG, but with phenomenal music, and a lot of nostalgia, and a nice stereotypical storyline. I just loved the relationships between the main characters.

I almost voted for it just because of how much I wanted to play it. And also I know I would like it... But I didn't.

Nothing interesting in this poll. Just giving arcade Tetris 2 votes ..
