It's a Knockout! 2008/09: Game Vote

Yes - at last. It's time to vote in your games for our knockout competition. To find the full rules for the tournament, click here. But here's a quick summary:

Boing ball

The voting starts now (Sunday, November 16) and finishes at 11:59pm UK time on Saturday, November 29.

Boing ball

Please only vote on one board - either EAB or Lemon. You can only vote once, and also it could cause confusion if you post your vote on both boards - it's easy for it to be counted twice by accident.

So the game that'll be played in the qualifying round (open to everyone) will be Lotus III, which commences on December 7. Here's how all the other games fared for those who are curious...

6. Banshee - 20
7. Super Stardust - 16

Rats. I'd never even heard of Battle Squadron until this list appeared! Still, as I suck at Pinball Fantasies anyway I guess it makes no odds. Very Happy

Also, a bit late but you may want to fix the Battle Squadron link in the list in the OP as at the moment it goes to a discussion about ASCII Star Wars -- you missed the 7 off the end.

Correct link:

Ooh, unlucky Wink

I don't really want to play Turrican but I've got a feeling there's no danger of that happening Laughing

I know I saw it somewhere, but I can't find it now -- ECS or AGA version of Chaos Engine? Edit Ignore that -- I was thinking of AB2. Confused

Turrican for the final. Phew. That'll be tough. I doubt I'll make it either.
