And here we are. After 2 months, we've whittled down every single PC Engine game to 64, and then to these final 2. It's been a journey for sure. There's still another related project to come, but this is the final knockout round that will determine the generally accepted "best game" for the Engine, and it's no surprise these two are the contenders. I won't bother pasting the mini-reviews, since you're all familiar by now. Happy voting!

Both lovingly and artfully crafted masterpieces. I like the music better in Gate, but Rondo has more replayability, IMO. Both are easily worthy of the top honor.

Well, we all predicted this, didn't we?

Rondo for my vote. I absolutely love both games. I am an absolute Castlevania nut though....

Sadly, this is what was predicted 5 whole months ago.

Not sad at all. Exercises like this are an attempt to confirm and deny expectations so that our expectations become further grounded in reality. I mean, people know it’s a bad idea to play the lottery, until they are the one who wins. Then it was a great idea all along.

Yeah,despite the conclusion, we all learned things along the way!
Plus it's a good foundation for a future ranked list

This isn't like a ranked poll. There's all kinds of info about this groups preferences in here.
Of the many ways that a proper ranking could be pieced together from this, is to compare how certain games fared against games that continued further. A good example is that the final was GoT vs Drac X. But Ys I & II did much better against Drac X, so it is favored higher around here than GoT.

It wasn't ranked, but it was seeded - and Ys came second to Street Fighter II in the seedings. Still, this was what it was, at least we have a skeleton now

*sigh* gotta give it to Rondo. It's the better game. Plus, it just turned 25 years old on Oct 29th, this year!
