I'm going to go ahead and point out Dark Sun: Shattered Lands here. The games that used the Dark Sun engine (including Al Qadim: The Genie's Curse) were not as well known as the Gold Box games but were a lot of fun in their own right.

Voting for Dark Sun: Shattered Lands and Thomas Was Alone in this one.

Dark Sun is an easy SSI fan vote. Thomas Was Alone is a charming puzzle platformer that's well-written, makes sparse assets do a lot of work, and knows not to overstay its welcome.

Pokemon Snap. As a 10 year old what an amazing game that was!

Abstaining for the moment. A few beloved games in here, but I'll need to consider whether I can honestly say they're BGE material. And yes, this is coming from a guy who voted on Woah Dave!.

[EDIT] Screw it, who am I kidding? Shattered Lands is the obvious choice for me.

Pokemon Snap? Seriously?

Pokemon Snap? Seriously?

Sad but true. Depressing, really.

Even in the depths where no light reaches, a few fanboy games ruin it for everyone else. (See also: Super Mario Land)

Pokemon Snap? Seriously?

I haven't played any of these besides the snooze fest that is Snap. And so I'm abstaining. My fake name isn't going on this one lol

Snap was awesome guys. Taking pictures of Pokemon in their natural habitat, like in a safari made my imagination become real.

The only two problems I had with it was 1) Very short game and 2) Professor Joke... I mean Oak's judging criteria was... flawed at best.
