I'm in
Metal Gear Solid (PS1)

The Bus 12-02-08 12:38 PM

Xbox 360 for my pick.

DVDChris 12-02-08 12:53 PM

If there's room, I'm in.

Legend of Zelda Link to the Past (SNES)


Quick question, if PC games are excluded and we can't choose compilations, then Half-Life 2 couldn't be picked because Orange Box is a compilation, unless we pick the inferior Xbox 1 version.

orangecrush 12-02-08 12:56 PM

I believe each game in the Orange Box was released seperatly later on.

Super Metroid

I was really hoping this would slip through to the 2nd round. My favorite SNES game.

Yeah, we get to see who the really knowledgeable gamers are by round 8.

Orange, can you change the format of the second post slightly? It would be a lot easier to read the draft board if all of the picks were visible without scrolling. Maybe have 4 columns 4.

orangecrush 12-02-08 02:00 PM

I will see what I can do.

orangecrush 12-02-08 02:01 PM

How about just putting a running list of all the games choosen? Would that be helpful?

Jeremy517 12-02-08 02:07 PM

Can you change mine to be formatted correctly with the full name? I think it will play better with the voters that way, and might prevent people from not finding it in a search. "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)". Thanks.

Sorry. We are at 16 now. Keep checking back though. If someone doesn't vote for 2 rounds, they vacate their seat.

Is it noon yet? :lol:

Got a good one?

Michael Corvin 12-03-08 08:11 AM

:shrug: I'm sure everyone thinks they do. I'm just looking forward to seeing how this plays out after a few days.

From past experience, what kind of lineup lasts longer in head to head? Newer games or an even distribution from each decade? Do I really need to consider drafting Atari 2600, Colecovision, etc. games?

I wouldn't draft any games pre NES myself, but some people like to be creative. One guy had a CDi and 3DO game on his team last time.

orangecrush 12-03-08 09:23 AM

I also had another idea. Do you guys want to do a losers round after the first round? We can call it the NIT. Basically, everyone who lost in the first round would be put into a separate bracket and continue on in their own 8 team tournament. What do you guys think about that?

Michael Corvin 12-03-08 09:26 AM

Sounds good to me.

spainlinx0 12-03-08 09:39 AM

Actually count me out. I wasn't able to get in, and I didn't realize we were picking already. Someone can have my spot.

lordwow 12-03-08 09:46 AM

I think you lost your spot when you didn't pick a game :lol:
