RF Generation Message Board

Please vote for the NES game you want to play in December. One vote per person. Result will be shown when the voting is over in 3 days. Please only vote if you are intending on joining the playthrough in December. Mods, please do not mention which game(s) are in the lead. I would like for the voting to remain untainted and for people to choose the game they really want to play. Thanks.

This is going to be interesting with so many game choices. Hopefully enough people plan on joining the playthrough, to have a definitive game by voting.

Voted!

Is the plan to come up with 4 singular games for 4 different retro systems? Or are we taking the 4 most voted from above and doing an all NES retro shmup lineup? I was hoping for at least one Genesis shmup so I could see what all the talk is about for the shmups on that system.

We will vote for the game on each system. SNES, Genesis, and PSX votes to come soon.

I voted!

There is only one of those games that I own though, so it wasn't a hard choice.

Same here. I am pretty sure I only own the one game from the list, and I am not even sure I own it, I will have to dig and look.

Very excited for this playthrough, I stink at shmups, but still excited to play with you guys.

Hey now,

So long as it doesn't end up being Zanac or Dragon Spirit-- 'cuz I don't own either of those-- I'm in. Then again, I just might encounter them in the wild the meantime, you  never know.

BTW I voted for a title that I own but haven't tried yet. It's likely a long shot to win, though.

Voting will close soon, please vote ASAP if you plan on playing in December. It's a tight race.

Might need to do a runoff if there's a tie for the top spot.

Of course, the plan is to take any games tied at the top and do a revote. If two games are tied again, I'd just do a coin flip. :P

Can you guys see the results yet? Let me know when you can, since I always see the numbers on my end as the mod.

I can see the results now.  Looks like a 3 way tie....

As the new guy around here I'd like to get involved before the voting closes. 
Is there a FAQ on what the rules/regulations are of participating in one of these?

Nope, just vote. Thanks for participating and welcome to the site!

In that case, I'll reset the voting for 2 more days and the only options will be the top 3 games. Thanks.

Alright everyone. The poll has been reset for 2 more days of voting. Please select the game you would like to play most out of the 3 options. Thanks!

I missed the results, how many total votes were submitted for all games? It sounds like a good amount of activity for a poll, I was expecting maybe just 5-6 of us to vote, but if there was a three way tie, I am thinking maybe a lot more voting.

Voted again.

About 14 votes. The three at the top received 3 votes each. Good thing is, all of these games are very cheap and not hard to locate. If you don't have one of them, you have until December to track down a copy.

For sure. I got my second vote in as well.

Ok.  Voted!  I've never done a "community" play through.  Looking forward to it!

Happy to have you along!

For those that didn't vote for The Guardian Legend... you fools.

Probably voted down for not being a pure shooter. It does have those on-foot missions in between the byew-byew-byew, after all.

In any case, I'm ready to fall in if Gradius or Gun.Smoke gets the nod. Don't let me down, gentlemen...

Keep your politics out of it, Zag. We don't need a lobbyist ruining the vote, sir.

Ummm...... Where is the Magical Chase button???

Right beside the: "Ain't no one got time for that" button

I'm sad Section Z isn't an option, but then I realized: This is a Playthrough. Most wouldn't make it through the game in the time span.

While this is a playthrough, December is more of a competition for high scores. I doubt many people will finish a lot of these games, since shmups tend to be pretty brutal.

no one questioned the atari 2600 line-up ;)

Again, someone in the community please let me know when these results are visible. They should be today.

They are visible. Crazy that a single vote for Gradius instead of Dragon Spirit meant the difference between having a game to play, and another 3 way tie. ha ha

Looks like we are playing Gradius on the NES. Such a classic title, so I think it's an outstanding pick. A chose Dragon Spirit as it's my favorite game on the system, but I would have been happy with either of these last 3 picks. You guys are really lucky that it wasn't Gun.Smoke. I had it as a kid and am pretty pro at it. :D

Alight, going to unsticky this thread and put a 3 day vote up for the SNES. Please note that I will not be including Gradius III as an option. Since we already have a Gradius title, I want to keep the month of gameplay diverse.
