Best Video Game 1988-1994, Round 5
 

A lot of really close matches last round. The only one that was less close than 60/40 was Punchout vs. Chrono Trigger, which was 62% to 38%. Civilization won by only 2 votes, and SMB3 only won by 4 votes.

Tetris and Super Mario Kart have a bye to round 7 in the loser's bracket. I will run this poll for 2 days because it is the championship of the winners bracket, and I will run the following Loser's bracket matches for only one day. For accurate results, keep this thread bumped!

Here is the link to the full bracket

And the poll questions:

Re: Best Video Game of all time, Round 5
 

So there are going to be like 3 more matches in the losers bracket? Why is anyone going to care after we already know which one wins the whole thing?

Re: Best Video Game of all time, Round 5
 

I could only vote on two because of not having played the other games.

Contra v. Tyson's Punch Out was really difficult. I went with Punch Out because I think it has a large enough edge in replay value over Contra (althought I think Contra is the more enjoyable game first time though). I will still fire up some punch out with my brother's whenever we have the chance.

Tecmobowl vs. Simcity was an easy choice for me. I love Tecmobowl and it's probably my all time favorite game.

I am very sad to see all these sequels and console games up there when Doom and X-COM got booted.

i missed this series but how did so many crap games make it? and how is SFII not in the 'winners bracket'????

I cry with you. It really should have been split between PC and consoles. Oh well, maybe next time.

Who knows, maybe people will like the game that wins the losers bracket more than the game that wins the winner's bracket. Some sort of weird popularity cycle maybe.

You missed the point. The winner of the winner's bracket does not win the whole thing. The winner of the winner's bracket has to play the winner of the loser's bracket.
