Analysis

To be honest I wasn’t very impressed with 1998’s performance last round. Maybe Doom and Myst bring in a lot of respect votes or perhaps the PC fans, while small are very loyal. I guess it may be due to our high expectations for the year to dominate the entire contest. 1992 did as expected, easily dispatching 2016.

It’s a shame 1992 was thrown to 1998 so quickly though I guess someone has to go up against the juggernaut in the early rounds. 1992 is very Nintendo heavy and when your opponent has Ocarina of Time things could turn ugly rather quickly. Link to the Past did hold up well against Ocarina of Time during the 2015 contest so perhaps the SFF won’t be that terrible. Ocarina of Time does appear first in the rotation while Link to the Past appears second, but 1992 does have the Triforce in the year picture.

The match will give us a better picture as to 1998’s capabilities. I feel it would have to severely underperform for anyone to think it could be threatened and besides next round the picture will have more games which will only be an advantage for the year.
