I have a feeling this will be another poll with some very close ties. Seeing how most are games i have never played, i am looking forward to the results

I just voted for Drill Dozer after seeing it's still being sold on Amazon.ca (kind of expensive, but it beats paying amazon.com's import fee ).

I thought Pulseman was alright, ran out of steam really early, but I'm still interested to see what the Pokémon guys can do when it comes to action games.

Drill Dozer is loads better then Pulseman. WAY BETTER.

I'll agree with that statement.

As it should be, it's a decade newer.

A winner is Mother 3...by a freaking landslide.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #81 on:** July 08, 2010, 03:10:53 PM »

Lets see of those 24 show up to talk about it.

And I bet almost none of those people have played or will play the game and very few will actually be able to discuss it. I hope I am wrong, but I think this discussion will be even worse than the Ninja Spirit one. I think this also shows that RetroActive should not include games that were never even released in English and can't be played in English without resorting to illegal activities.

Well, this will be my first RetroActive that I actually play the game alongside the show...just to spite you.

Well, I'll just tell myself it can't be as bad as Metroid II.
Then again, few games could.

Would it be illegal to download a ROM of Mother 3? I mean, the game was never copyrighted here, so what law are you breaking?

MegaByte · « **Reply #86 on:** July 08, 2010, 05:32:51 PM »

The Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, which applies international copyrights to the US.

Ah interesting, strange I hadn't heard of that before. I'd have thought it'd come up sooner.

- If Mother 3 is selected, we cannot help you find the game, only link to the English translation patch.

- If Mother 3 is selected, I can help you find the game.

Just throwing this out there again. Check your PMs

Also, it's possible NoA actually did cover themselves legally in regards to Mother 3, even if they had no intent to ever release it.

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #90 on:** July 08, 2010, 06:09:14 PM »

Can't wait to pull this game out for a spin. I have the fangamer strategy guide thing if anyone gets stumped and wants me to refer to its wonderful colored goodness.

Consider me jealous--I've heard it's beautiful.

Here's the Starmen.net walkthrough in case anyone wants it. I skimmed through it a long time ago and it seems pretty through.

I started playing Mother 3 a few days ago after it became apparent it was going to win the poll. I just finished chapter 1 (about 4 hours in) and while it starts out a bit slow, it's wonderfully created. The story is about as heartbreaking as a 16-bit game can get and the translation is top-notch.

broodwars · « **Reply #92 on:** July 08, 2010, 06:29:18 PM »

I must admit to being shocked that a quick visit to Starmen.net did not turn up a Front Page story or forum thread about either this poll starting or Mother 3 winning.

I considered visiting the Starmen forums to recruit help for this poll, but it wasn't necessary.

True, but I'm wagering that the number of votes for Mother 3 won't exceed the number of staffers.

Votes: 24
NWR Staffers: 25

Uh, NWR Staffers: 22... 21 at the time you made your wager... and not all of those are regular staff.

Besides, it's not like any other game even came close to beating Mother 3. The people have spoken!

Mop it up · « **Reply #97 on:** July 08, 2010, 07:23:41 PM »

I counted forum mods and admins as well.

Did Greybrick get hired for staff?
