Bottom 768 — Week 10 — Poll 28

Post by 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!

Lunar 2: Complete got me out of a major game funk. Reinvigorated my love for JRPGs when I played it (I think in 2005).
The complete set was in the clearance section of Gamestop for $20. Heck of a deal even at the time.
Voice acting is still kind of meh, though.

While Gorillas is an interesting touchpoint for game programming, I remember it being a fairly bland game (to the point where even if I had known at the time I could see the BASIC, I'm not sure kid-me would have been interested).

Gorillas is cute, but at this point in the competition there's no sense in voting for it over something like Scorched Earth or even Worms.

Lunar 2 is beautiful, just a charming lovely little RPG, surpassed only by the original Lunar in this regard.

The only problem is I’ve never played any of it. Oh well - abstaining
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.
