Bottom 768 — Week 11 — Poll 20

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!

Voting for Wizardry here because N++ improves on N+ in every conceivable way. So rare for a sequel to make an earlier game completely obsolete.

Wizardry is incredibly fun and addictive relative to the utter simplicity of its presentation. Also an incredibly influential game - though not the first third-person, grid-based RPG dungeon crawl (it takes many of its ideas from the earlier Moria from the PLATO network (which is not to be confused with the later Rogue-descended game of the same name), it is the most direct descendant of many later games that would expand on the concept. Easy vote for me.
