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 went with Wonder Boy in Monster World as well as Vigilante. The latter I'm sure I'm the only one who will vote for it but that's fine. I love arcade beat em ups for the most part and though this isn't the best of them it's still a good game. And, hell, they let you use num-chuks for crying out loud.

Vigilante is good! I'm glad someone voted for it. It wasn't going to be me with the other games in this pool, but we'll see what it squares up against in the finals.

I gave max votes to Wonder Boy, which is a brilliant game. Also voted for the strong Bionic Commando remake, despite its super-difficult optional challenge modes preventing me from getting the 100%... And a final vote to the influential top-down GTA.
