Rules

1. You may vote up to 4 entries that fit the prompt.
2. No alts.
3. No deleting or editing posts; though, editing posts shortly after you post is fine.
4. If you change your vote, clearly indicate that you are changing a previous vote. Same for adding or subtracting picks.
5. In general, if there are two picks that can be considered the same product (i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle), I will combine them.
6. If a vote is vague, I will pick the first available choice that best matches the vote (i.e. "Mario" for Wii Games becomes Super Mario Galaxy).
7. I will post the parameters of each Rushmore topic. Other than that, feel free to vote however you like and based on any criteria that best fits the "Mount Rushmore" of that topic.
8. If a vote doesn't fit the topic, it will count as a blank vote.
9. You may nominate as much as you want and have an unlimited amount of seconds for established nominations.
10. Every Sunday, I'll post the schedule for next week. I will pick based on the number of nominations. Any ties will be determined by RNG.

I'm assuming all the Kratos votes were for Kratos from God of War!

Most of the discourse was around Bowser and if he really is the most appropriate choice for a dad or not. I'm on the "Nintendo doesn't typically touch fatherhood and they need a rep so they chose Bowser" side, but hey, they've been making a lot of those parental videos lately and they are well-made.

Today's Parameters

You must pick video games from the 2nd generation of video games.

This period of time is typically defined from games released on consoles that came out between these years: 1976 to 1984.

Ports are fine, but they should be based on consoles of the respective generation.

Games released outside the timeframe are fine, as long as they're on the console of the respective generation.
