So we have gotten through Round 1 of the contest and it was a decent turn out (although I expect there to be more votes from this round onwards).
There were exactly 50 different games that got votes and the two games proceeding to the finals are:
Super Mario Bros. 3 (winner by a landslide) and Super Mario Bros. (Just about squeezed it by 2 points ahead of Zelda).
No room for my boy Alex Kidd
Below is a list of all 50 games and how many points they got in case you're interested in that.
So now onto Round 2! Please read the rules carefully before voting.
Each Monday, I will set up a new round for the contest.
Each round will represent a different generation of gaming.
The generations are below (BOLDED IS THE CURRENT ROUND FOR THIS THREAD):
Round 1 - Third Gen - NES, Master System, Atari 7800
Round 2 - Fourth Gen - Mega Drive, Neo Geo, SNES
Round 3 - Fifth Gen - Saturn, PS1, N64
Round 4 - Sixth Gen - Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube, Xbox
Round 5 - Seventh Gen - Xbox 360, PS3, Wii
Round 6 - Eighth Gen - Wii U, PS4, Xbox One
Round 7 - Ninth Gen - Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Switch
Round 8 - Special Round 1 - PC Gaming
Round 9 - Special Round 2 - Handheld & Mobile Gaming
Round 10 - Bonus Round - (TBA)
For each round, please list your top 5 games for that generation in list view.
Please do this by Friday 11:59pm GMT
5th = 2 pts, 4th = 4 pts, 3rd = 6 pts, 2nd = 8 pts, 1st = 10 pts.
The top 2 games from each round will go through to the final round.
In the event of a tie, I will need to run a poll for 24hrs.
If you have voted, then changed your vote, please let me know, otherwise I may miss your vote by accident.
I will try to start each new round on the Monday after a vote round has finished.
At the opening post of each round, I will put in the results from the previous round and start the voting of the current round.
Once we have gone through the 10 rounds, I will make a FINAL Round thread where you all can vote for the final 20 nominees.
Then once that voting is done, I will post the top 20 in order from last to first and crown the overall winner.
I know this is probably not the BEST way but I doubt there is a BEST way to do this!
Remember, I have 2 kids, a full time job and in the middle of a house move so there may be times where I miss deadlines or post later than anticipated. Apologies in advance.
I hope this is fun and you guys enjoy it
