Console Game Poll vol. 2 - Vote for the best 4th Generation Console Games (SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, etc) here! (Ballot Deadline: September 26th)

I haven't been on ilx really. two days left? hmn

voted!

ok just voted. This is an era where I'm at least familiar with most of the games, if not played, so I gotta throw in

though I'm kind of sad Super Bomberman 2 wasn't nommed - pretty much an across-the-board improvement on the original

My vote for Super Bomberman was definitely a vote for #3.

This period was my life. Best games. Best systems. Failed to unlurk for the George Michael poll but not going to miss this one.

So uh, I guess there will be another Toejam and Earl next year?

The first one is pretty high up on my ballot, I think I may have even made room for the second, did not play the third one, looked kind of bad. This new one looks like the third one? TJandE with updated graphics, and I guess adult swim's involvement is encouraging, though the 2-D characters on 3-D backgrounds feels less like PaRappa and more like Newgrounds to me.

Mostly worried about the music. There are only 6 or 7 tracks from the first one but they are all brilliant minimalist weirdo chiptune funk songs. I also really don't feel like the first TJandE needs a graphic update but whatever it's 2016 and I am old get off the lawn etc

I dunno how much the music figures into everyone else's ballot, but I mean really, tell me that this isn't exactly what Herbie Hancock circa Headhunters would have come up with if someone had contracted him to score a Genesis game

Voted! Had more Genesis games in my list than SNES, but just looking at the list, if you'd bought both consoles at their release, you'd have felt so much better with a SNES, getting Super Mario World as a pack-in and having access to F-Zero, two of the system's most fun games. Whereas with the Genesis you'd have got Altered Beast and the likes of Flicky and Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle (which is about half as good as Miracle World on the SMS).

Wish I'd paid attention to the noms thread, there's a few GG games I'd have definitely evangelised for. Ah well.

xp some of the games I voted for figure heavily on their great music. It's all part of the experience

actually managed to vote, that's me done for another year

timeline for this to roll out?

i probably won't start the rollout this week, thinking next week tentatively. wanna make EVERYTHING for it beforehand so i can spend the minimum effort making the actual posts.

i'm currently checking the ballots for errors (already found one!), i'll still accept ballots today but after that definitely closed. we got like 6 more since my post friday!

oopssssss i'll try to bash one out later tonight!

I was working on mine yesterday but rearranging text on a Kindle is, it turns out, kind of a total pain in the ass. But I'll finish tonight!

no one nominated super tennis? or micro machines 2? u motherfuckers

sent!

Whew! Pulled my head out of the post-debate cloud long enough to remember this! Sent!

oof, sent mine in just a little after midnight. hope that's okay.

all good, i'm only checking it now. i'll assume that these are the last two ballots unless someone says something by, say, 12:00 today, and get started on the images/etc.

lol of course all of these consoles have different video resolutions which will once again make making attractive images a bit of a pain in the butt

not to mention landscape vs portrait game boxes

Looking forward to those hi-res screencaps of early Game Boy games! So much puke green!

everyone give a huge thanks to Karl Malone for putting together & uploading all of the images for the poll! gonna make it a lot easier for me to get this thing done. I'm actually ready to do it this second, I'm just waiting 'til next Tuesday so I don't split it over a weekend.

shit i hit send before i remembered to think of & write an "always delivers" joke

Thanks Karl! You were always my second favorite member of the Dream Team, just behind Clyde the Glide (gotta rep my hometown and all)

no big deal on the images (as you'll all see, they follow a very simple formula, although i hope everyone will enjoy referring to them during the rundown)

speaking of...STOKED FOR THE MADNESS OVER HERE, is it tuesday yet?? :) :) :)

144 minutes to go

very interested to see how this hashes out, I did try to hit most of the obvious classics, albeit some ways down on a weighted ballot, because, y'know, of course we can all agree on super mario world, would love to see some surprises though

i'm familiar with most of the genesis-exclusive canon, but haven't really played any of them since i never owned one. i plan on using the results from this to decide which ones to tackle first, via emulation

i am the guy waiting outside the coffee shop at 6:58am

:D

looking forward to this, esp w Karl's graphics!

I...HAVE...OOOOOOPINIONS

oh, they're not anything special! just the basics. you'll see. :)
