TDMMC Video Game Bracket (VGB)

[Brian Fein]

OK, I'm not complaining, just voicing a concern.  I like this idea.

And yes, I read the post several times.

I have another question...

What are the recommended voting criteria?

- Influential nature of the game
- innovativeness/creativity
- plot
- gameplay (fun factor)
- time spent playing

Or some factor of all of the above?

Good question.  I guess just vote for the one that you think is better....for whatever reason.  The one that holds up the best, gives you the best memories, and makes you want to play it all over again are probably good starts.

OK, great, thanks.

I've seen you and others voting for games based on how they revolutionized the industry, but I suppose that stands as only a key to your underlying reasoning.

Top whiny complaints:

1) I liked the [popular game] series, but [some particular edition] is way better than [the edition we chose].  That better be on the list.

2) You better have [some game that I remember being good when I was 10, and impressionable, but didn't hold up] on the list.  That game rocked.

3) I am old and only like games that have graphics comparable to Tetris.  [any new game] makes me dizzy and disoriented.

4) I am a fanboy of [game system].  [Popular, but subpar franchise from said system] was all I had to feel better about not being able to play Super Mario Bros.  It better be on the list.

5) I've never played [insent game], therefore it sucks.

6. If [My favorite game] isn't on the list, this whole bracket sucks and I refuse to vote for any other game until the problem is rectified.

7. I've seen 3 games, and I cannot believe what a farse of a system you guys have.  I realize that there are 61 more games to be revealed, but I already see where you guys are going with this crap.  It's a slap in the face to any video game player that [game you don't like] is on the list, and you should have it removed immediately, and never spoken of again.

8. I really think helicopter.html should be on the list.

You mean to say that helicopter.html is NOT on the list?  This whole bracket sucks and I refuse to vote for any other game until the problem is rectified.

By definition, helicopter.html can't be on the list since this bracket is to determine the 2nd best game.

Word.

Hmmm well either way, I'll love to see the outcome. Imagine the result. A few people will try to play a game(If they don't own it) and then play it for a LOOOOONG TIME. I'm betting that a few Old school games will make it(I will see it happen). Oh by the way if you are pissed seeing your game on this list. Some ENTIRE systems (pretty bad ones but a system none the less) are missing.
Remember It not if you win or lose, well actually it is, but oh shoot I forgot the freakin' moral. Oh well.

I really enjoyed the helicopter game...but I guess I just don't understand what in the world would make people consider it the #1 video game of all time.

Hell, I wouldn't even put it in my top-10. 

Diablo (and pretty much every other game in this bracket) smokes the helicopter game right out of the water.

HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE HELICOPTER GAME!

I will not tolerate your insolence!

Did anyone ever notice that they didn't make a helicopter2.html?  That's because the game would be so good, that it would suck in the population, and society would cease to exist, because we'd all just stay home playing it all the time...kind of like what Opium did to China a ways back.

WowEventually we have a helicopter.html religion, food, holiday, monument, and giant plush toy. I wonder what the plush toy would look like. Helicopter.html must be the best game, since with more complex games come more things to fix. Helicopter.html was so simple it had no mistakes. None. Not even lack of high explosives.

I've been tracking these brackets in my own personal spreadsheet.  A few observations...

- As of now, we're still missing 4 matchups in the first round.
- There are 4 matchups Dave posted that the Brackets weren't listed:
 Halo vs MK3, Elder Scroll vs TMNT, FF7 vs 1942, and Zelda vs FF2
- There are 5 brackets by my count (Activision, Capcom, Konami, Namco, and Square).  Am I F'ed up?
