I don't think I know enough really early computer games, but I'll do my best to get the other lists sent in when I get a chance.

Looking at the poll at this option:

"Include all of the major players, even if the systems weren't very big (Adds things like Saturn, TurboGrafx, NeoGeo)"

I did not vote for this option because of the first choice, but maybe have a topic about all other consoles besides the ones you did first.

So it came to my attention that there was a very likely chance someone was cheating. The suspected voters have had their votes removed and accounts blocked. If you see this post, then you aren't suspected.

I run these for fun, and try to put effort into making things fair and appeasing as many people as I can to enjoy themselves. When someone cheats, it feels like a mockery of my own personal hobby, as well as a waste of time for everyone engaging the contests honestly. If you can read this and have cheated or intend to cheat, please leave this topic alone.

I take a small bit of comfort knowing I'll never be a big enough loser to create multiple accounts to vote-stuff on a video game message board

Bump

Votes have died down, so probably gonna close this down at the week mark. Might put a hold on those side lists and make them more visible in future voting topics.

I plan to submit for these 3 soon, once I have time

Up

Voting ends at the same time the topic opened, so about 3 hours left.

I'll let side list submissions go on until the list topic goes up. Will be reaching out to those who have expressed interest in writeups some time today, barring a large influx of new votes I have to tally.

I keep forgetting to do this.

I can allow until the end of the day if that helps?

@azuarc
@ZenOfThunder

Tagging you two to inform you I'll be keeping this open until the end of the day. If you can't get it to me today, then I can make exceptions if you let me know at some point

This goes for anyone else too, but everyone else who's posted with interest in here seems to have voted.

screw it, I'm not having a productive morning.

All these people voting for TMNT 2 and not 3 have clearly never played 3

This is accurate. My NES experiences are limited to what my friends had, and I wasn't friends with anyone getting new NES games by the time 3 came out.

Unfortunately this is accurate, I actually haven't played 3 and never knew it existed as a kid, I really am just voting for the one that's nostalgic to me

The benefits of getting an NES in 1997

Gonna keep it going for 2 more hours.

Top 10s have no deadline atm since they won't be getting writeups, so keep em coming!

I would love to give a pre-1990 computer top 10, but that list would be so wildly random and inconsistent, across at least 3 different platforms, that I'm not even sure what I would include.

Okay, the top 20 is FINALIZED. Write-up messages have been sent, so if you didn't get anything, then the games you offered to write about didn't make it in (no spoilers in here if that's the case plz).

If you would like to offer your critical examinations, I can still accept them, so long as we are ready by next Thursday. And again, feel free to keep giving me the side lists!

Ah, good. The only ones I felt any comfort writing up were the ones that definitely didn't make it (M.C. Kids, Bee 52, Chip n Dale)

If you need someone to do a write-up and it's something I've played, I'm willing to contribute.

To me that's part of the fun - digging around for weird, but good, old PC games I played 20+ years ago

Slightly on-topic - this is currently my favorite NES track:

Bumping

Technically should've given more notice, but I'm gonna start on writeups for the games which nobody claimed, so nobody else can sign up for them

Up

List topic will be going up tomorrow evening

Oh shit I almost forgot the write-ups

noooooooo
