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!

Eversion is a good platformer, although I think its "mind-blowing twist!!!1!!" is oversold.

Lol I gave Harvest Moon DS a courtesy vote for entertaining me as a young teen. In reality it wasn't a great harvest moon.

Full votes for Doom 64. This version of the original Doom games is the best imo. Wished they made more games with the same engine at the time. Anyone know of a port for Gzdoom?

Very interesting to hear it get such a glowing review from someone with old-school Doom cred, since it just got a remaster for previous-gen systems (and PC) this year. I might have to snag it on sale now.

I don't know if others agree, but the whole vibe of Doom 64 is different (as is the engine) from the older Doom games. Just searched again for a mod that I can use with GZDoom and found Doom 64 Retribution. So if you have the Doom 2 wad and gzdoom or similar, you can play it for free.
