[Fool's Requiem]

went with Jawneh

 

[Rick52]

Jon's list has a game or two more I like than the rest (besides my own)

 

[VashTheStampede]

Honestly out of all the drafts, this is the hardest one for me to choose a winner for.

Gonna have to take some time on this one.

 

[Smacktard]

Was stuck between Tommy and Jawneh, but now that I really look at the list, I think Jon's list has the biggest number of titles that I would genuinely enjoy playing. Every title is great, and THPS2 as a last-round pick-up is nuts.

Plus its so varied, with very different games for the most part. Well kinda.

Its where I'm currently leaning, ever so slightly.

Now that I'm looking at the list and thinking about genres, there's a surprising amount of variety. Most people have 7/8 of their picks from different genres, and there's even a few with 8/8!

I really thought at the beginning of the draft you were trying to go all games with 64 at the end

I was kinda sad when you picked Stadium

I didn't even realize I did that until I saw the list posted here lmao

If I'd noticed, I might've actually tried to

 

[VashTheStampede]

I'm narrowed down to Jon vs Rick

Think Jon might take it

 

[Banana]

i went with what i deemed to be the best overall game library and the one id be the most happy with (aside from my own). took Animal Cross before i did too which deeply upset me.

voted for Fire Queen.

 

[shortkut]

I went with @BigDaddy

Gauntlet Legends
NBA Hangtime
Zelda

Nice variety and would keep me entertained for a long time

 

[Jawneh]

I'm between Jon and Kelly. Both have games I like and a couple I'd like to try playing.

I'll need more of a think on this. Maybe tonight I can decide. This a hard one.

 

[Fire Queen]

voted for Fire Queen.

haha i was wondering if anyone else had their eyes on it!

went with tommy. south park almost tanked it for me but hey you pikachu was inspired.

 

[Jawneh]

I chose Kelly's list in the end. His top three picks are ones I spent a stupid amount of time on. I'll probably get through them faster now, sans Harvest Moon, but I still like them alot. Pokemon is probably the low light of the list, as I've kind of out grown them, but Mission Impossible is fun and the last two are games I've wanted to try.

 

[The Flame]

Kinda stuck between Smacktard and Tommy Boy. FQ and a couple others have some pretty strong titles in there for me too. Would easily pick myself if I could, but maybe that's how everyone feels about their own lists. I feel like I have a bias towards games with higher replay value, though. As much as I enjoy long single-player games, if I could only choose one game I'm going to get way more out of a Super Smash Bros or some other party game than even the best Zelda game.

Don't you all give me hope.

Rick sniped a couple games from me, so I feel I have no choice but to choose him.

 

[Smacktard]

One thing about the draft that I noticed that was kind of funny -- The first 5 picks mirrored the first 5 on this list, same order and everything:

[Fool's Requiem]

My drafting continues to not be good for this forum. I got one or two pity votes in early games, but nothing since. I'm sorry, I'm not an RPG or Pokémon fan.

Only one person can win and sometimes your choices get stolen before you can pick them. It happens

I'm honestly just glad I got Mario Kart 64. I'd be fine losing out on the other first round picks, but Mario Kart 64 was MY game on the N64. That's the cornerstone of my N64 library. Without it, my N64 library means nothing.

 

[VashTheStampede]

My time playing Mario Kart 64 likely surpasses my playtime on every other game combined.

 

[Tommy Boy]

went with tommy. south park almost tanked it for me but hey you pikachu was inspired.

Yeah, besides reasons mentioned, I also picked South Park to not have 64 in any of my titles. My real pick probably would have been Ridge Racer 64.

 

[dimmerwit]

I went with Jon, who I was leaning towards as the draft was happening.

Tommy's list was good for some more original games, but I'm just not as much of a Smash fan. Kelly was another honourable mention.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I recently bought Ridge Racer 64 because of this game. I hope all of you are happy.

[Aluse Cannon]

This was very tough to pick actually. Everyone did a great job spreading out who had my favorite games. Jon's won out in the end for me though. Kelly and Jawneh were really close behind though.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

@Al hominem when does @Jon get his badge?

 

[Fire Queen]

you forgot the most important question which is @VashTheStampede when is the next draft

That was my lockdown beard. I usually clean shave infrequently.

That was my lockdown beard. I usually clean shave infrequently.

That's what I would do if I didn't have a job that required me to be clean shaven. Grow it out until it got annoying and then shave it all off again.

 

[Tommy Boy]

hey when's the next one of these @VashTheStampede

 

[shortkut]

hey when's the next one of these @VashTheStampede

After the next mafia game

 

[Cam]

Had to go with Tommy Boy. Spent a significant amount of time playing the Banjo games, especially Banjo-Tooie. Also, can't forget having friends over and having a Smash Bros tournament back in the day.
