Loved that game. Wanted to draft it a few times, but I was afraid it would give me too many games that were personal favorites, but probably won't score all that well with the judges.BlueDredSo selects,19.13 Duck Tales - NES - 3rd GenMario Kart is otc since that was the last pick on BlueDredSo's list and he said to go on autoskip..(Madshot's comment) Thought I should mention that the moon level's music is just awesome.

Not only a great pick, but a clever category placing as well.Well done, sir.19.04 Planescape: Torment - PC - Best Story
Wow - nice pick as well.19.09 Grim Fandango, Best Story, PC 1998
You play Manny Calavera, a mid-level worker at the the DOD (Department of Death) who's trying to work off his sins in life so that he can get to his final reward. As a reaper, Manny frees incoming souls from their shrouds, finds out what kind of underworld travel packages their goodness in life has earned them, and then sends them on their way.
Unfortunately, business hasn't been very good for Manny of late. As the game begins, Calavera is told that he must sell a premium travel package to a soul or lose his job. In his search, Manny uncovers a hideous plot, a beautiful woman, and a crew of loyal friends (not necessarily in that order). The world is a rich one, complete with its own laws, its own personality types, and landscapes.
The game has received multiple awards and been placed on the top of many top games lists throughout the years, including best pc game, most underrated game of all-time and best story. Of course, the latter, in this case, is for the judge to decide.

Not only a great pick, but a clever category placing as well.Well done, sir.19.04 Planescape: Torment - PC - Best Story
I have had Planescape: Torment and a yet to be picked RPG as my sleeper Best Story picks since the start of the draft. Very few categories I have had a certain pick chosen for a long time. Its usually take what I think is great value. But the story category I have had pegged for a while just hoping both my picks didn't go in the same round right before me in the 16.00+ range. If anyone picks my other sleep Best Story pick they will receive a cookie. I place the o/u on who have heard of it before at 1.5.Larry boy has been in the thread the whole time. He must of left his computer on the thread.Back from dinner. Thought larry would've picked by now.
I'm up?

We got through 5 rounds today. Must be a FFA record.![]()
It's the US Super Mario Bros. 2 (Doki Doki Panic). Drafter wasn't aware there was others. We had a big discussion about it.I'm sure this was clarified when it was drafted, but I didn't see the pick, so: is "Super Mario Brothers 2" the Doki Doki Panic semi-port or the legitimate Super Mario Brothers 2 aka The Lost Levels?
Hey Larry,
I've been stuck in Japan this past week and been following the thread.
I went to Yodobashi Camera this morning to look for some toys for the kids.
I came across these figurines for Chrono Trigger
http://plamoya.com/en/chrono-trigger-forma...?cPath=143_1402
They came in individual boxes with a random figure. I bought 5 and got 3 of the Crono/Frog one and 2 of the Robo/Chrono one.
Not sure if you had seen these, but they are very cool.

Its all cool larry boy. Everybody has their own video game tastes. Hell, a lot of people in this draft are going heavy NES/Arcade. The only reason they aren't receiving the same attention as your picks is because there are a few of them doing it. A few of your picks including Final Fantasy I, VI, and IX have sniped what I was planning on taking a few picks later in the round.so, I have a choice...
on one hand I can give a giant middle finger to Mario Kart and everyone else who thinks that my team is much too "one-sided" to be any good and just take what I like and realize that, at the end of the day, 90% of my video game playing has been JRPGs and Nintendo-made games (Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, etc.)...
on the other, I could pick a few games that I don't really like and only played a little with other people...
I think I'm gonna go with the first option...
20.4 Final Fantasy, NES 3rd Generation

Someone made comment to me privately about how PC slanted my draft was going. I knew I was taking mostly PC games and I was proud of myself for being diverse with my console choices. But it didn't occur to me until pointed out that my only 80's game was Mega Man II. This being from a person who has been gaming since Pong. I'm sort of disappointed with myself, but I really think I've gotten some really good picks here.Its all cool larry boy. Everybody has their own video game tastes.

You already had RCR in Beat em Up. You had TMNT in arcade.I still needed to fill my spot for best multiplayer game. I just spent a few minutes thinking what is my favorite multiplayer game that I have ever played(my 1A/1B have been picked). Doh, I already have my #3 as one of my picks. TMNT: Turtle in Time moves to "Best Multiplayer" and River City Ransom moves to "Beat em Up".
We're probably close to the same age (I'm 44), and there was a time - around 1984-1991 or so - that I somewhat dropped off the map gaming-wise (girls, booze, bars, etc were more the focus). I'm real versed with the arcade scene, but I kinda missed the whole nintendo thing, and when I did get back into gaming in the early 90's, it was PC more than anything. I definitely liked some of those early console games, but they certainly don't mean anything to me like they do to some other posters here. Mario? Zelda? Fun for a bit, but kid stuff fluff, really. Give me Warcraft 2 over prettymuch *any* pre-current generation console game.Someone made comment to me privately about how PC slanted my draft was going.

I am shocked that I don't have a single PS1 or PS2 title in my picks, but I have a ton of arcade games which I never would have expected.Someone made comment to me privately about how PC slanted my draft was going.

I have never thought about this, good question....hmmmmm????Just when I think this board can't possibly get any moreTo get Cloud like 13 rounds after Sephiroth = good value, IMO..., we get gems like this.I wonder if video game message boards have football drafts in their FFA area.
Thanks, got them all fixed now. When I have an extra number in the lists its usually because I copy/paste a name that was moved and then forgot to delete the extra number after I change the other numbers in the group. Acer did change Zelda to a flex below one of his normal picks I believe.Ok madshot. I've gone over the first 4 posts and I've found the discrepancies and here are what needs to be fixed to get everything up to date:
These changes are to post 4
Fifth Generation (1993-2001)
1. Half Life - PC (7.02)
2. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - PS1 (7.09)

* indicates the game that was missing
FPS/TPS (3 spot is repeated and it's confusing)
Action/Adventure (Metroid Prime is double listed. Shouldn't be in Action/Adventure)
Platformer (Missing a spot. #3 spot is missing. Probably hanging out playing FPS's)
Hack and Slash/Beat 'em Up
1. Mike Tyson Punch-Out - NES (3.01)
2. Gauntlet - Arcade (6.02)
3. Diablo II - PC (6.05)

13.
Best Multiplayer (Fix where you added TMNT, take out the additional #11)
Best Villain (Numbers 13 and 14 repeat.)
Flex game list missing The Legend of Zelda (I don't remember him moving there, but according to his draft chart, that's where it is)
Post 3, bmarks has Ryu (13.08) listed as Best Villain. Should be Main Character.
That's what I have for now and should get all games in the spots and have the correct number of games listed correct. I'm trying to keep track of what's taken, how many from each category, so I'm using that post to double check myself. I hope this helps.
There goes one off of biggamer's list.20.6 - Shenmue - Dreamcast - Adventure

I see wazoo is here. If he picks, I'll make the pick. If he doesn't before I go to bed, I'll pass it to someone else.SlaxIf you want to send Yo mamas pick to me no prob. He picks before me and you don't have to worry about slowing draft down
