Out of curiosity I did a quick check on the results, based solely on the votes on the first page. There are some truly :obviously: titles duking it out for the top slots, but I also saw a problem that needs to be pointed out: BE ACCURATE.

You can't just write "tomb raider", "dawn of war" or "king's bounty" and expect felipepepe to be able to read your mind as to which of the numerous games it could be referring to.

So would you all kindly go back to your posts and make sure there is no doubt as to which title you're referring to. Give the full title, give a year, whatever you believe will eliminate confusion. Thanks very much.

Not sure about Dawn of War but Tomb Raider and King's Bounty refer to first games obviously (although there is 2013 Tomb Raider the default one is from 1996). Just like Fallout refers to Fallout 1.

The true value of this endeavor is not Doom winning but all the single-mentioned games that go into a potential great games nobody ever heard of list

It would be a way too long and unstructured list to be of any use.

Just sort it alphabetically
And how would that help me trudging through 100500 strategies and shooters I have zero interest in irrespective of quality?

One of the most powerful features of Bayesian Analysis, which felipepe uses in these polls, is that just a few people voting for obscure titles can make an impact.
This particular voting system doesn't work very well with Bayesian because then giving a game 1 point would be worse than not voting for it at all.

I've added some stuff mentioned in here to my "might be cool" list. That alone makes this whole business worthwhile IMO

We could sort the single-mention list by genre maybe. Pick some very broad genre labels like FPS, Strategy, Adventure etc and then we'll work together to categorise them. It'll be a big clusterfuck and everyone will fall out with each other and call each other retards when issues of genre classification arise, but at the end of it we should have a really cool list of lesser-known games.
