Super League 2022: Round 5 - Cast Your Votes

[Biscuit]

Welcome to the vote for the games we will be playing in round 5.

We are voting from issues 56, 57 and 58 of The One. Chosen at random, this covers the three months of May to July 1993. All the reviewed games, except for re-releases and compilations, are listed below. There was a surprising number of unlisted PD games and I've added links where I can. Even the AMR site wasn't entirely accurate.

It is an unusual selection of games this year, so have a good look.

I've had a quick look through to see which ones have scores or possible ways to play them in the competition. Placing games that probably can't be played in separate lists. I've had to make snap decisions based on what little I know about each game so it might not be perfect. If you can think of a way to score a game feel free to vote for it and let us know how. Also, if you know about a game that can't be played fairly please mention it.

This is a double round. The two most popular games will be played in round 5.



This vote ends at 23:59 (UK Time) on Saturday 26th March 2022.

Vote for up to 5 games and rank them 1st - 5th.
Please choose games suitable for competition play.
If a game has ECS and AGA versions, state your preference. ECS is default.
Each vote for a game gives it 10 points.
Edited votes will not be counted.

Don't sleep on Vektor, I know a lot of people who like that.

[Biscuit]

It didn't take long to see two games pull ahead and they both go through to the coming double round. Goal! and Woodys World. Woodys World has a time limit and lots of secrets to find so we can play that for score as normal. For Goal we can play the arcade challenge. That makes it a great pairing as Goal will be quicker to play in contrast to both Woodys World and the SWOS round.

60 Goal! (111223)
60 Woodys World (111234)

30 Syndicate (122)
30 Super Cauldron (134)

Goal!!! is a great game. Woody's World I have never played. Should be a good round....

[lifeschool]

Never played Woody's World but it reminded me a little bit of Robocod, so I'm hoping for good things from it.

I'm playing Kingdoms of England 2 at the moment, and that takes ages to play, so perhaps unsuitable for the compo.
