You can nominate more than one game for each category. Remember these are your nominations and not your votes. I will select 10 of the nominations from each category and place them in a poll to vote on later.

For best two player game - it must be a two player game here at Retro, not just in real life. This means some SMS games and 2 player alternating NES games.

Any other categories that should be added?

Get your nominations in now before it is too late. The next poll will be best sports game.

[TrakMastaTom]

Nominations for best scroller game:

River City Ransom, Metroid, Super Mario Brothers

A Boy and his Blob is a scroller, isn't it? I mean, the screen scrolls.

[Kugyince]

A scroller is a game where the screen scrolls on its own volition. None of those are scrollers including Ninja Gaiden.

[TrakMastaTom]

You mean like that level on SMB3 where you have to go fast or the screen will push you off your platform and into death?

[Kugyince]

You got it. Also most shooters are scrollers. That's why we don't list scroller as a genre but instead a theme.

[wanman]

Most competed game : Eskiv (High Score Flash)

[Kong]

Best sports game will be the next poll and will start when the Pick a Game contest is over.
