Welcome to the Box Art Tournament!
There will be 2 stages and then a grand final.
I put all games in alphabetical order, numbered them and then used a random number generator app to come up with the groupings.
Stage 1
15 groups of 21 games. 3 votes per person. The top 3 games from each group progressing to the next stage. Voting closes for stage 1 on Saturday 26th December.
In the event of a tie where the tied games receive more than 1 vote each then all the tied games will progress.
In the event of a tie where the tied games only received 1 vote each then none will progress to the next stage.
Stage 2
5 groups of 9 games**. 1 vote per person. The top game from each group progressing to the final.
**Due to 4 ties in Stage 1 there1will be 49 games progressing, 7 groups of 7 games.
The final
The top10 7 games. There will be 1 vote per person to determine the winner.
I will post links to each group below so you don't have to go searching around the forum for the threads to vote.
About the games
Following a poll it was decided that we would include PAL, US where significantly different and TecToy exclusives/ hacks.
I have had to make a few decisions on what to include and not include on an individual basis and hopefully everyone will be happy with which games I decided to keep out (for example US versions of Bomber Raid and Castle of Illusion, although different the box art is essentially the same).
This meant that 315 games have been included in the first stage.
I hope you enjoy and contribute to this tournament!
