All Time Greatest Video Games ***The Draft***

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the All Time Greatest Video Game Draft. We're going to keep this really simple, I'll try and put some rules together below but this is for fun so use common sense.

  • I'm the Commish, any questions and I'll flip a coin and make a ruling
  • The Draft Order was randomly selected by me (reverse alpha by handle)
  • 12 Geeks, Six Rounds - Serpentine
  • At the very least, please try to log in at least once daily to make your pick
  • No trades, no nothing, just a draft
After the draft the winner will be crowned via a Geek Pole on this here bored. The Pole question will be: Who drafted the best "All Time Greatest Video Games" team?

 

 

Couple items of note:

 

1. Video game means - Arcade game, computer game, console game, etc. Everyone should understand this.

 

2. A video game drafted means all iterations of that game. For example. Rambo I, II and III are all just one draft pick. They are NOT individual video games.

 

3. Also that pick is all iterations on the type of system. For example you can't draft the Arcade version of a game then the PlayStation version. Duh.

 

4. However, a "spinoff" game is separate and equal. For example Super Mario Bros is all the Mario Bros. games in all BUT a Yoshi game or Mario Kart are separate. Hopefully that makes sense.

 

Remember, this is for fun, so we are going to keep it simple. I appreciate the ideas of genres and "positions", while that would be interesting I don't have the time nor will power to do all that and we are keeping it simple.

Also that pick is all iterations on the type of system. For example you can't draft the Arcade version of a game then the PlayStation version. Duh.

 

 

 

Dragon's Lair the arcade is WORLDS different and better from the console. for example.

 

You should just NIX arcade games all together

I think once you have a title thats it.

 

You cant draft Madden 17 and then someone 08 even if its a different system. There are more than enough titles.

 

Of course if its something like Mario there is a Mario Kart, Brothers, etc... thats different.

Some arcade games are worlds better than the crap that was on the console.

 

Some people have no idea what an arcade is.

So? Where do we draw the line and how many years between titles makes it eligible again? If we were having a movie draft and I drafted Harry Potter would I need to draft a specific movie or the franchise as a whole?

 

UPDATE: KSB agrees and its in the rules so its a done deal anyways.

Shouldve just banned drafting SMB, CoD and WOW to make this more interesting. First two rounds are a crap shoot. You can throw a blanket over the best 24 games.

CoD is a reach, it is not innovative or better than its competition. It is an average shooter with good graphics and exceptional marketing.

 

It rebrands the same experience over and over again with slight tweeks. I am guilty of purchasing it, I have bought about half the cod games. I am not saying it is not a good series, just not worthy of a top 3 pick.

 

I think there should have been multiple other first person shooters chosen ahead of it.

For the sake of balance when the voting comes, maybe we can run it where you are only drafting one specific game from a franchise, but the franchise is then unavailable to anyone else. So, for example, my pick would be Super Mario Bros. 3, but SMB games would then be off the board. It kind of works against the first two picks that have been made, but makes drafting more interesting and voting easier.

Donkey Kong is the creation of the Mario world, however I would say that Kong was the Brian Dunkelman of that franchise
