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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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