These are like my two least favorite teams in the whole tourney. I guess I’ll go Norman because of Ocarina

Honestly, I don't know how trag's team made it to the final.

Once again, I have to vote for trag. I haven't played a single game on ABN's team. And I goddamn love The Oregon Trail.

Me either. But go vote for 3rd place. The "true" final.

yeah this is a shitty final round

Thoroughly mediocre.

I guess I’ll go with Norman for Ocarina/Portal 2/Doom. Twisted Metal isn’t gonna carry an entire tournament.

Out of all of the games on these two teams, Ocarina is miles above the rest, so AB gets my vote.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the final. A lot more classic PC picks than I expected. I thought it would be a thumb-sucking Nintendo fiesta to be honest.

Vote goes to ABNorman. Trag's team is great, but Norm's is the best in the tourney.

I probably ended up last in this tournament. However, I still think my team was better than these two.

Voted for Trag.

You fiends!

Seriously, trag has to be voting with multiple accounts, right?

I think Trag's team skews a bit too before my time. Ocarina is about as far back as I can go on a Zelda and still enjoy it. Oregon Trail is a similar story. NHL 95 has no appeal because I'm not a sports guy. There's also too many car-based games for a non-driving fan, though Mario Kart is obviously great, TM2 looks like it was probably pretty fun, and Rocket League is obviously very well-loved. I never liked the Gabriel Knight games, but I appreciate the slightly out there pick. Really, for me, Half-Life 2 is the only clear stand out that belongs in this competition without question.

As for me, my team is probably too PC-heavy, though obviously there's a ton of crossover between PC and most other systems. I tried to have a wide selection of genres - I've got an action RPG, an immersive sim, a puzzle game, a JRPG, a first person shooter, an adventure game, a tower defense game, a 3D platformer, a management sim and an exploration/survival game. For fans of those genres who haven't played the game on the list, I can heartily recommend you do.

One game I didn't have room for is Ultima Underworld (1 and 2) - they'd suffer too much from being outdated nowadays, I think.

Thanks for organising, M_D - I did NOT think my team would make it anywhere near the final!

Doom wins

Anti-Duck bias came back to bite you guys in the ass huh? Shame. No one wins when we discriminate.

You guys suck at video game judging

Oregon Trail wins

YOU FIENDS

The two best teams did not make the final.

M_D you’ve done the good lord’s work here. The voters have failed you.

I concur.
