Forks' video game rating sytem POLL

so much hotness

20 is good but i am loving the brevity of 5 right now. IT IS HARD TO PICK

3, 5, 6, 8 are all gold

Also, the Title Case is Amazing

i love how nuclear weapons are considered before money, and also the underlying assumption that anything that is remotely good belongs to someone else and must be stolen

"anything that is remotely good belongs to someone else and must be stolen" could be the i love games board description

plumped for 20 in the original thread but am being won over by the movie-poster syntax of 7

xp to zs: yep, that's me at 14 alright.

i have an old notebook page like this that i wrote when i was a kid full of mysterious acronyms and i've been trying to decipher it for several years now but no luck yet. i'm fairly sure it has to do with video games though.

you're obliged to scan it for future polls

Use Kung-Fu Training is the worst. But being bad is good when you're chillun
I'm struggling to pick 5 because of adult hesitation but if I focus hard enough I might be able to do it.

errr 9

i think it ended up back at my parents house last time i moved but i'll scan next time i have my hands on it

8 - Worth Taking from Little Kid.

seems like it should be more than 8, since it's stealing from a kid! but it seems like it's low praise, like, well I guess if a little kid has it & it would be easy to snag go ahead and do it

my vote

i think it fits perfectly there. it goes nothing, interest, strong interest, hotness, real hotness, plea to steal, plea to steal from the weak, plea for violence, plea for murder, plea for treason, plea for destruction of human race, personal sacrifice, hopelessness, philosophical pondering. stakes always raising.

damn i was deep

and other future drake album titles

Voting for the 6 with my woes

tough choice between "super hot. steal. pilfer. shoplift" and "you can even use my money." god i love this though.

Given the option of nuclear weapons, I will always choose nuclear weapons.

look, in the interest of preventing worldwide nuclear armageddon, i suppose i could give you $50 so you can buy the game

this was the early nineties, they were often $60

they still are! and good luck getting a manual to read in the car let alone a cloth map of anywhere

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Forks's list is a guide for rentals though, specifically from Phar-Mor. The amounts being weighed against global nuclear devastation should be adjusted accordingly.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

2 & 3 robbed, but i think we can all agree the correct one won

i always meant to mention that this was BEFORE dragonball so the serendipity of refusing to believe anything over 9,000,000 (minus three figures) was somewhat prescient of little me

find myself thinking about this again today

i miss phar mor

okay so i dug this up from the inside front cover

28 years later and startropics has been beamed digitally to my eighth gen device and i haven't even turned it on yet, i'm very disappointed in myself

Btw, for the truthers:

either forks knew minority report style the future trajectory of mike myers' career, or 11/13/90 is not november 13, 1990 but in fact in ISO standard and it's extember 90th, 2011

i was trying to figure it out too but i think i've eliminated all NES games that start with L - has to be a computer game

ultima II was pre-NES so its not all NES games on this sheet

Legends..of... Excalibur? Erithian?

i looked closely at the original and have figured it out but I'm not sure I want to ruin the fun

ultima ii would've been hyped as an NES release that never came to be btw; i was undoubtedly jotting down aspirational titles from EGM and Nintendo Power
i didn't have a pc as a kid; had to go to a friend's house to play PC games. Different friend for Turbographix and Genesis.

anyways, this is the mystery "L" game:
