Big update, with many games added. Check below.

It's not too late to nominate more games. PM me. Edit: The next TEN games to be nominated will be the last ones in the poll. The list is growing too large. List updated further below.

This is the first round of a sort of best-video-games tree. The groupings are more or less random.

Please vote in every poll, and please post below to keep this on the front page - the more people voting, the better the poll will be.

How this poll will work:

Tournament Tree style. Right now one bracket is being decided. Games with smaller than a 10% margin will be thrown back into the pot and rerandomized to give every game a fair shot. Nominations are currently welcome through PM for now, although at some point, this will stop.

If you believe a matchup is ESPECIALLY unfair, such as the pong/tetris matchup, please PM me and I may put both of them back into the pot.

Also, if you believe a matchup has no relavence, please PM me with that information too. I am trying to keep on top of the thread, but it's difficult. PMs are much more direct and will elicit a much better response.

Secret of Mana
Star Control 2

Half-Life 1

Fairly shameless bump. Please post IN THIS THREAD, and not in the other thread.

You need some kind of option for 'These games suck/rock equally'. I don't want to skew the poll.

It would alos be better if you grouped by type, then pitted the winners of types off against one another. Super Mario Bros III Vs Super Mario Kart? they can't really be compaired. Same with Super Mario Bros and Pac Man. It should be something like Pac Man Vs Pong and the winner of that match should go against the winner of Tetris and Space Invaders

Don't worry. Games that poll very close together will probably be tossed back into the pool with another game grouping so that the poll isn't screwed up. That way the sucky games will get crushed and the good games will do the crushing.

Not as if that post wasn't blasphemous enough, but you also voted for it over Deus Ex. :thumbsdown:
