charmander6000 05/01/17 10:58:18 PM #79: | Match II – Wildcard – 1983 vs. 1989 Notable Releases – Adjusted X-Stats (Year) 1983 Games Dragon’s Lair Mario Bros. Star Wars M.U.L.E. Platforms Apple IIe Coleco Adam 1989 Games Tetris – 27.39% (2015) Dragon Warrior Bomberman The Guardian Legend Platforms Game Boy Lynx Sega Genesis TurboGrafx-16 Analysis When the bracket was first released I took a brief pause at this match, but once I looked more deeply I feel 1989 will likely win. For some reason SBAllen has classified Tetris as a 1989 game despite calling it a 1986 game during the 2015 games contest. Not having Mega Man 2 or Super Mario Land severely hurts the year though and could lead to an underperformance. 1983 has the distinction of being one of two years in this contest to not have a game appear in a GameFAQs contest, but that doesn’t mean the year has nothing to offer. I expect Mario Bros. to have some strength, with the main reason of it not appearing in a contest was due to the existent of a large number of Mario games. Star Wars will also help due to name recognition. This match has a high potential to have SFF. Tetris could SFF Mario Bros. turning this match into a blowout. Apparently the match picture will be rotating. Initially we’ll see the year with Mario vs. a slime then in 5 seconds we’ll see Dragon’s Lair vs. Tetris and so forth. This could potentially be a game changer, but I assume and hope SBAllen will have a list of games when you hover over the picture so that should decrease the confusion. While I don’t expect consoles to be a huge factor 1989 does have both the Game Boy and Sega Genesis in its corner. While it is a shame they won’t be in the picture I expect them to get a mention when you hover over the picture. 1983 was a distant second to 1981 in the 80s vote-in poll so I expect 1989 to perform a similar beat down. charmander6000’s Bracket: 1989 > 1983 charmander6000’s Prediction: 1989 wins, 71.35% - 28.65% --- Best Year in Gaming - Today's Winners: 2009 and 1989 Current Bracket Score: 0/0 ...
