Whell, here it is. These are the games that I managed to rate, due to your TOP 5 nominations in my previous topic (You`r TOP 5 Games). My first idea was to make a TOP 20, but only 12 games were nominated more than once, so this is it.

Some games happened to collect the same number of points, so in this final voting
you can add some more points to make the TOP 10 complete, and official.

Since I`m not an administrator, I can`t close the topic after a while, (to close the voting), but I think 14 days will be more than enough for everyone to vote.

So, after 14 days on 07.11.2006 in 16:00 (my local time) I`ll make the final TOP 10.

Cheers!

Sorry for the double post.

Just to remind those who haven`t voted yet - the voting will close the day after tomorow

[DakaSha]

i had a really hard time between super mario brothers and ADoM but i personnaly find adom more fun so...

[DeathDude]

Way too close with Mario, Deus Ex, FF 6, all such great classics.

[Nace]

And so, the time for voting expired. As you know this TOP 10 is made from you`r votes and nominations only. The 10 finalists came here due to you`r personal  5 unlimited nominations in the previous thread.

You`ll notice that some games gained the same number of points, but they are sorted bu the number of nominations in the previous thread, and the number of votes in this thread too. Don`t worry, I defenetly have no interest in setting up the elections, since none of my favourites made it to the finals  

Oh, whell...

Here are the results:
_________________________________________________________________

1. ADOM-------------------------- 16

2. Fallout-------------------------- 14

3. Deus EX------------------------ 10

4. UFO-Enemy Unknown--------- 10

5. Super Mario Brothers--------- 10

6. Zangband---------------------- 7

7. Operation Flashpoint---------- 7

8. Baldurs Gate------------------- 7

9. Beneath A Steel Sky---------- 6

10. Final Fantasy 3--------------- 6

That`s that.

I would had laughed if somebody would had guessed that OFP gets that high - it's great game, but underrated.

[Tulac]

So many roguelikes, are they that good?

So many? I can only see two...

[Juni Ori]

Thinking about it, it is actually quite much, but then again we are freeware society, so I guess that explains a lot...

[greywolf]

I like the idea of a freeware game beating the other 8 commerical titles.

And yes, I know UFO and Steel Sky are now free, but I mean to begin with, ADoM has always been freeware. Has anyone sent Mr. Biskup a postcard, by any chance? I haven't gotten around to mine yet...

[Sabreman]

I'm holding off to send him a postcard from somewhere further on than the first village

I don't seem to have much luck with that game at all...

[BeefontheBone]

RLs are probably slightly over-represented on here, but that's because there's a number of users here who really like them, like me, AJ, greywolf and Daka. I always feel I have to stick up for Zangband when the ADOM-lovers show up

[DeathDude]

Yeah think because this site is freeware focused that there is a big aspect why the RL's got so much support, but ah wells it's just a list doesn't really mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, other than bragging rights.

[Nace]

None of my favourites made it to the TOP 10. Not even close.

I guess that`s probably because I rated games for PC, PlayStation, Sega Genesis,
Arcade Mashines

Have you guys/girls played some of the Silent Hill series? I personaly love them...

Yes, I was a bit supprised when I calculated Operation Flashpoint got that high place on the table. I love first person shooters, and I started playing OFP, but it didn`t actually impressed me that much. It`s not that the graphics were bad, etc.
I didn`t like that the mouse was used more for aiming than looking around - you know what I`m talking about - The cursor wasn`t  "sticked" in the middle of the screen, so that I didn`t like most.

The controls were a bit complicated, but a man can get used to them...

It was a bit of a suprise to me that NOBODY nominated Half-Life  

Don`t you guys remember Gordon Freeman?
How about Opposing Force? Shepard?

[Juni Ori]

Actually I was thinking about Half-Life too and how surprising it lack was, but thought that perhaps there's not enough older fans of that genre who would remember it.

Nace, the reason why OFP has such an aiming system is simple: to give realism. Ever noticed how that "true aim" point comes behind, simulating the slower movement of arms than eyes? And yes, the heavier, the slower it is. Or so it at least should be, I never had time to notice because I'm always shooting aimed. Which by the way solves that aiming issue of yours, but brings in another: you can't move fast. Well, realism is a thing you either like or hate. Or then the solutions how makers have tried to reach realism.
