RULES- You have 20 individual nominations to use.
- You now have 2 doubles to use on any individual gam, though you can't double the same game twice.
- You can change noms if you like, just specify what's being dropped and added.
- I'll set the current limit at 4 nominations to be eligible for the contest. Higher nominations can lead to higher seeding, though.
- Games which appeared in a generation prior to Generation V are not eligible. Popular examples from last contest would be Link's Awakening or Doom.
- Arbitrary dates used for computer and arcade games ONLY: January 1, 1996 - December 31, 2000. Console games released on fifth gen systems not in this time are still eligible, we just need to sanction off when these other types of games are eligible.
- No compilations. Stuff like Final Fantasy Chronicles is not eligible. In the event of something like Arc the Lad Collection (I have no idea if there's another situation like this), the games need to be nominated individually.
- Similarly, enhanced ports aren't allowed. There needs to be a pretty substantial change for something from a previous gen to be allowed. Two immediate examples of games which aren't different enough despite some changes are Link's Awakening DX and Super Mario Deluxe. I'm more likely to bend in trickier cases if a game did not make a main bracket in a prior contest though.
- Nominations will last until we get 64 entrants and will close immediately after. I'll post a document for tracking once I have time.
- Don't be rude or beg for people to support your stuff.
