I understand the logic of keeping similar releases/updates/sequels separate; but some of those can be easily combined to get them into the tournament.
I voted X-Wing, but can easily switch that to Tie Fighter or X-Wing vs. Tie fighter. I could also go Tetris DX over Tetris, or several of the Sega Genesis NHL Hockeys.
Also, i know it won't win anything, but would love it if someone added another vote for Heroes of Might and Magic.

I would say, traditionally, TIE Fighter is considered the best of the three. It's on most "best PC games ever" lists.

Udate for those that care:
We are now up to 67 games in the tournament and 114 bubble teams. If the numbers work out so that we have a bad number for a tournament, we may have some "play in" matches for some titles that don't get 2 votes.

It isn't really about race at all. We just need to up the number of face tattoos.

orange - there were three games:
X-Wing
TIE Fighter
X-wing vs. TIE Fighter
for the sake of the tournament, I would think everyone would be okay grouping them together.

I think it was mentioned TIE Fighter is considered the best of the three (I don't think I ever played the vs. one), so put 'em under that one.
