Welcome ****ers.
***Here are the rules and guidelines, read them over***
You are a video game developer.
Your goal to "win" this draft is to have a diverse selection of high quality games. Some of them might have been massive sellers, some of them might have been underrated, some of them might have had major impact, whatever looks good when your selection process is done...I have a feeling the people will know.
Resisting the urge to take your next favorite game will be appreciated and recognized.
When you select the game,
you get the game when it is released. This leads to everyone judging the game fairly based on the competition at the time. If you select an older game and someone argues that it does not hold up well, then be prepared to argue that point because it is valid.
To make it so people will be forced to choose games that other people will want to choose, there's going to be "eras".
You will need to draft at least ONE game from each era from the following.
The NES/Master System era
The SNES/Genesis era
The N64/Saturn/PSX Era
The GameCube/Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox era
The Wii/PS3/Xbox360 era
The PC era (starting in 1980)
You will be allowed to skip an era of your choice. Know nothing about PC games? Then don't take one. Simple. If you want to take a game from Virtual Boy, the Jaguar...or any other of those crappy systems...then please post details giving me the idea that the system you chose it from was in competition with the other ones from that era.
NO PORTS unless the port is within 60 days of the original NORTH AMERICAN release date (just going to pretend Japan does not exist for the purposes of this draft). I'm making this rule because some ports released on other systems do indeed become the definitive version of that game.
ONLY ONE sports franchise in the series can be selected. If someone drafts "Old Fat Guy Franchise 1996", then it's over. You can draft an alternate sports franchise but not one with the same name.
Sequels are fine. Treat them as individual games. The idea is you are a free lance developer. If you make a sequel that's better the original who someone else already selected...it should be eligible.
ONLY ONE incarnation of the same game
per era. This applies to certain fighting games and to certain
MUSIC games. When someone selects one of these games...I will let everyone know to not draft another game from that franchise.
No handheld games. Most people don't play handhelds. Most people won't care when you select Pokemon and claim it's the most perfect game ever created. We can do a handheld mini draft afterward if people want to.
NO compilation games. You cannot sneak in what you are thinking to try and sneak in.
