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.

Spreadsheet & Nominations

Last Topics Results

A seemingly easy topic as many people voted for this exact combination. Two separate events cause this near upset: Path of Radiance getting a steady stream of votes despite its seeming lack of typical credentials and a split between 3 and 1. Despite this, 1 keeps ahead and stays on!

I didn't have EGM or GI myself, but they were prominent enough that I recognized them as the two big names even to this day. The other two are self-explanatory.

Next Generation, although, that magazine ended long before it should have. I think the last issue released sometime in 2001?

Nintendo Power will always be a big one for a lot of gamers.
