Top 20 games of the early years

[Crabmaster2000]

Using my lists from last year actually made this not too bad. Only added 2 games for things we didn't cover

I know it's past the end of January. To those that got their lists in, I really appreciate it.

But this list will be so much better if we got a few more responses.

So I am pleading to anyone who was mulling over a list. We could use some more participation for this list to make it more balanced and reflective of several people's tastes. If you were considering doing one, shoot me your ranks by this weekend and I can still make this a more complete list overall.

Thanks.

If you don't add more lists you'll have to suffer with my poor taste in games dominating it!

I got my list in just under the wire last month. Looking forward to seeing the results!

I had the same thought at first, but I was really surprised by how much my placements changed from the previous lists. I ended up not really relying on them in the end.
