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!

Castle Crashers is an excellent and eminently replayable beat'em-up classic from the golden age of XBLA indies.

Knight of Lodis is a pretty good Tactics game from the OG tactics masters.

Final vote goes to a pretty rad Kunio / River City Ransom game.

I gave a couple votes to Castle of Illusion but wasn’t feeling anything else here.

Just a vote for Crash Bandicoot, nothing else her for me

The Genesis and Master System Castle of Illusions are actually pretty different and probably should have been separate entries. They're both really good games so I would have voted for either version in this poll.

I can look at the records, but that collapse probably was from the second BGE when we cracked down on multiple entries of games and had people vote for the overall platonic thing (IIRC, all Tetrises were combined in that BGE as well). I'll make a note to expand these back out into separate entries for BGE2040.

I can't wait!

Crash XS needs more love. Great game for what it was.
