The only reason I'm a little surprised at the results is that it's the
ORIGINAL Sonic the Hedgehog. Weren't the others more popular? I'm just
thinking maybe some of the voters played Sonic 2 or something on the
Genesis and thought it was the original. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Oh my! Sonic 1 nearly pulls off the major upset... check this out 0 Tetris 97.36% 1/24/05 1 Mario 3 94.30% 11/1/05 2 Mario 1 93.54% 2/15/07 3 OoT 87.61% 11/4/05 4 Sonic 1 87.60% 2/17/07 5 LttP 84.50% 11/2/05 And now, for the article! --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

Sonic 2 might be more popular, but I believe the original was more
played. Kind of like Super Mario Brothers 3 and the original Super
Mario Bros --- --NL-- Z1mZum made me look like Toadette. And made me nominate her. |

Yeah, but I didn't think Sonic 1 was packed in -- at least, if it was, I know Sonic 2 was too. SMB3 wasn't ever packed in. --- The Office > you. |

Awww... well, that series of polls was fun while it lasted, at least. http://board8wiki.com/Have_You_Played So when's the bracket, guys? Tonight, or tomorrow? Tonight would be ideal, but my confidence is not at its highest. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

We should have done a Pre-Guru contest where when a contest is
announced we have say three days to predict when the bracket will be
released and whoever wins all the losers have to praise them with their
sigs for two weeks or until the first match of the contest. --- Proud member of Board 8. |

I second charmander6000's idea. The bracket comes...a week from Tuesday at 7:30 PST. Pah... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

I'm willing to bet that gathering these quotes is a huge pain in the ass. Heh, you'd be surprized how many different ways you can submit the same quotation whle following the guidelines. And considering how well the people on this board could follow the instructions, I don't want to know how well the casual nominator did. --- Rufus Shinra 18 decimated me in the Summer 2006 Guru Contest.

*high fives HaR and TRE* Haha, yeah, I didn't go back to the home page and check until just a minute ago. So CJay listened to us after all!

Yes, and I still have it hooked up 20.94% 151 Yes, but it's in the closet 34.67% 250 Yes, but I sold it to upgrade 17.75% 128 No, but I played my friend's 22.33% 161 No, and I never even played one 4.3% 31 TOTAL VOTES 721 --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

Hey TRE, one time a couple months ago I posted in CS&D a big list
of the results of all of the Got System? polls ever done. I've since
lost that data since my hard drive died. Any chance you could dig that

If you're wondering why our numbers differ, Apr, it's because I include
people who owned the console at any point during their career, whereas
in that post you considered only those with the system currently in
their possession. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |
