Tropical Island Video Game Draft -- Pending playoffs

Status
Not open for further replies.

Most of you should know the situation by now, but I'll go over it again. You are stranded on a tropical island by yourself. You have an unlimited supply of water and food, and everything else needed to survive. You also happen to have a solar powered PC and TV, with every console ever made, as well as a few solar powered arcade games. Obviously there is no cable or satellite available, and no internet connection. You are allowed to bring 20 games with you.

Design: The official draft order will be decided by a randomizer. As in the other drafts, each participant will select a game when it is their turn, stating the name, platform, and year of release, as well as an official picture for the game (game box, screenshot, etc). Any additional pictures will be in a second post using spoiler tags. Along with a picture, a brief explanation of why you chose the game will also be required.

Once the draft process is finished, a board-wide voting will take place on the participants collections to see who has the best collection.

As in the other draft threads, seeing as how it was my idea, I declare myself commissioner and will handle any rule changes, draft order, etc. A moderator may lend a hand if for some reason I am unavailable for an extended period of time.

Rules:

-20 Rounds (Serpentine)
- PC games, Arcade games, and Console games (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo, Sega, etc.) are to be selected. Handheld console games may also be selected (PSP, Gameboy, Nintendo DS, etc.)
-Once your pick is made, you must PM the next person to speed things up.
-You have 24 hours after the last pick made to make your pick, at the end of which the next person may then make his or her pick. If you do not pick within 24 hours, the draft keeps going and you can post your game whenever you can. If you know you will be unavailable for an extended time, you can PM your pick(s) to another member to post your picks for you.

- When picking a game, state the name, platform, and year of release, as well as an official picture and a brief description of why you chose that particular game. (As in the rest of the drafts)
- Multiplayer and/or online features of any game will not be considered, as you are stranded on an island by yourself with no internet connection.
- As with the movie and music drafts, you cannot pick a game that hasn't been released in your country yet.
-You may not pick a game that has already been picked by another participant, even if the game is on multiple platforms
-Like the Babe Draft, games selected will be based on IN THEIR PRIME, as in, when they were first released.
- Games released only in Japan will not be considered.
- Assume you have any accessories needed to play each game (except an internet connection.) Example, you have a guitar for Guitar Hero, you have the SNES SuperScope, you have the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack, etc.
-***Expansion packs WILL NOT be considered a different game than the original. However, you may indicate that you want to include expansion packs in your choice ONLY IF the original game is not taken by somebody else***
- This draft will NOT be starting until one of the other drafts is finished, so be sure to sign up sometime before then. A maximum of 16 participants are allowed to sign up. First come, first serve.

If anybody has any other rule ideas or if I forgot something, let me know and I will consider making the necessary changes. Also thanks to Mr. Slim Citrus, tradepeja, and Bricklayer, as I have based my rules off of theirs in the other draft threads.

You do know it would have been easier for you to just start a new thread and copy paste your posts on over, right? ;)

Would have also gotten the start date, title etc. correct too.

Be resourceful young grasshopper.

So far? That counts 16. Looks like its locked. Man there's more interest than I thought there'd be. I fear for some of my picks now....

I opted not to participate in this draft just because I'm sure there are much more hardcore gamers around here than I, but I'm interested to see how this will go. Also thought I throw my name out there as an impartial proxy, if and when needed, since I'll likely be keeping an eye on the thread.

I felt the same way as you, but threw my hat into the ring anyway if for no other reason to relive my childhood with nostalgia picks.

So, if there are any games you think are being neglected, feel free to PM me and I just may add them to my list in your honor :)

seems to be lotsa interest in this draft afterall. i decided to sit it out mainly because i figure i don't need to make another time consuming committment and also because i also feel that i am not enough of a gamer to be a part of this. though i'm kept up to date by some of my friends who are huge gamers and i do enjoy some of the more recent games, i'm definitely an old schooler and much more simple than most in this area. more of a street fighter/shinobi type of guy to be honest.

Did not stop me. ;)

All I've got going for me is age, and hence a longer window to choose from. But I shan't be winning, nor often competing for whatever the top fad of the moment happens to be.

I thought about jumping in just for the fun of it, but the list was already getting pretty full at that point and I certainly didn't want to take one of the few remaining spots from someone who may have taken it more seriously than I. Figure it will still be fun to follow along and see how many of the games I would have picked go undrafted.

I'd describe my gaming as both old school and hardcore, I've owned practically every major console and a few of the not major ones, as well as PC and c-64 gaming. I think that's why I opted out though, despite all of that there's only a handful of games (FAR less than 20) I played for more than a few weeks and then put away for good, and those games usually involved multiplayer or online only features (and another was Japanese only).

Like my spot....good order :D

Coulda been up a few more, but it looks good. Grats to "old school" Brick though.


hint to Brick: everyone can play (and love) old school games, not just older people...so watch out :D

For those participating in all 3 drafts right now, if you wish to start this maybe a few days after the music draft is over, that'd be OK with me.

Again, the pressure's on. Which way to go, which way to go...

At least I don't have the first pick, which shall be mocked mercilessly regardless of choice ;)

I got number 1?

Woohoo! :)

Although in this draft, of all drafts, my #1 is/was likely not going to be anybody else's (or at least not the consesus), still glad I got it, as there is something I just had to have, and its far from obscure -- somebody else could easily nab it as best in breed.

Haha where was that precedent set? The only #1 of every draft that I found even mildly confusing was the pick in the babe draft. And it was still a decent one. The #1s in the movie and music drafts were spot on.

I beg to disagree, but that is why we do the draft, right? ;)

Um, I'm not the commissioner of this thread, but GTA3 and GTASA are completely separate games so it has to be allowable. There's no rule for if "someone picks a game running a certain game engine, no one else can pick any games running on that engine." Man the first person to grab the Source or Unreal engine would be set for life.
