The Rules:Now that the preliminary voting is done, we have our top 128 games. It's only a loose approximation, some good games faced stiff competition, others got by a lot easier. But from here on, it's tough. There's no Mahjong in the top 128, only good game vs good game, and over the next 2 weeks, we're going to get rid of fully half of them. Every day, you'll get 8 possible votes to use, and every day, the bottom 8 of each group will be eliminated. Will there be an upset? It's up to you! And remember, if you're unfamiliar with any of these, it's a great time to get acquainted via the PC Engine Software Bible

I am impressed that Bonk 2 is beating Dracula X. But I also think there's some reactionary... not exactly dislike, but anti-enthusiam for the title. There's non-zero number of folks who think DracX is massively overrated and an average game at best. I naturally disagree, but as long as we all agree the PCE is a great platform overall I can learn to forgive.

Bonk 2 definitely deserves to go through.
I just had a though, I have no idea how I'm going to deal with potential tie breakers, in terms of joint 8th place. A coin flip seems too harsh.
Maybe I'll elect a representative for each title in question and they each have to plead their case in one post? Or... Any other ideas?

Is it bad that my judgement on a lot of games depends on how much I like the music?

It depends on the game. Music can make or break some games. The soundtrack to the PCE version of Monster Lair elevates it to a new level and it's hard to play the arcade version after experiencing it.
Although Gate of Thunder would still be a good game, imagine what it would feel like with Legion's bgms and voice over.

Deep Blue might actually be tolerable with a great OST.
Hmm. Maybe not though.

There's non-zero number of folks who think DracX is massively overrated and an average game at best. Definitely a few people on 4chan's /vr/ board who prefer the SNES Dracula X solely because it's a more difficult game. Some people might be upset that deep down, a 3rd party game is widely considered to be the best PCE game. Only some other games can really compete for that title (Legend of Xanadu, Bomberman 94, Soldier Blade, Ys IV, a few others).

A coin flip seems too harsh. Coin flips are a scientifically valid method, according to HG101's Top 47K games podcast. As ridiculous as it may sound, I can live with that.

I was thinking about letting the previous seeding being the deciding factor in event of a draw, but I think I'll randomise.
1-2 eliminates Splatterhouse
3-4 eliminates Xanadu II
5-6 eliminates Nectarsis
