#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 167

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!

It always bugged me in Bionic Commando that the dude couldn’t jump.

That's the whole point of the game though lol. That's like being bothered that Mario can't use a grappling hook in SMB1.
I gave my main votes to Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX, one of the strongest pure-strategy entries in the later half of the series. I love the full use of the main map. I got into some HUGE epic 2-front wars in that game and just juggling everything to keep my borders intact was so exhilarating.
Also votes for Bionic Commando as an excellent OG platformer, and the Dragon Quest mystery dungeon game for basically creating a genre.

Then I guess I never got the point of the game. Jumping is a basic mechanic. Like running. I think with appropriate level design they could have made use of the arm without gluing the guy’s feet to the ground.

Thumper is cheap and it's on VR. It was on my PSVR demo disc. It's like a rhythm rail thing.
