Bottom 768 — Week 1 — Poll 8

[This Old Neon]

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

I know Mega Man 1 isn’t popular in these parts but I really do enjoy it and not just because of the series it created. It’s fun. My son plays games because of his exposure to it.

MM1 rules. That's so cool that it was a formative game for your son!

Yeah MM1 is excellent. For pure BGE purposes, probably more worthy of a vote than even MM2 (we can get into that later lol).

My vote here is for You Have to Win the Game because YHtWtG is one of the best pure Metcastlevania exploration-platformers I've played, and one of the best "retro" games in the truest sense of the word. Great graphics, great overall map, good scope/length (doesn't overstay its welcome by trying to be "epic!"), nice feel—a true labour of love by one guy who coded his own engine.
