Gaming Hall of Fame

It's that time of year when our illustrious default leader takes the time to compile all of our top 10 lists and prods us into voting which game should the Dallas gamers hall of fame.

The rest is quoted from TK's email:


To be eligible for our Hall of Fame, a game must meet these criteria:
1) It must have appeared on at least 2 "group" Top 10 lists, and 2) it
must have been published at least 5 years before the current year.

Advanced Civilization
1991

Age of Steam
2002

Cosmic Encounter
1977

Formula De'
1991

Napoleonic Wars
2002

Puerto Rico
2002

Robo-Rally
1994

Tikal
1999

Web of Power
2000


Each year, we choose (AT MOST) 1 game to induct into our Hall of Fame.
We use the 'Single Transferable Vote' method, much like "Counter"
magazine uses for their HOF. This method has 2 great advantages:
everyone submits only ONE list, and "re-votes" to break ties are
virtually eliminated.



Advanced Civ is by far and away my most obvious choice this year. In a tier by itself really.

Then comes Web of Power and Puerto Rico. The remaining choices I left as 'non worthy'. I can not stomach Age of Steam nor Tikal, but that's just me
