Total Nominees: 136 All ties relevant to tournament seeding were broken by the roll of a die. The winner of each such tie-breaker is listed above the loser. In the case that more than two games were tied in the same position, each was assigned a series of numbers, and the outcome was determined by the roll of a die with a number of sides divisible by the number of disputant games. Happily, no game was bounced from the field in this manner. Ties between games that did not qualify were not broken. ---Tournament Field--- (NOTE: The number of points each game received is succeeded by a two-figure combination in parentheses. The letter in that combination denotes the group in which the game is placed. The number denotes its seed in that group.) 1. The Legend of Zelda - 166 pts. (A1) 2. Mega Man 2 - 132 pts. (B1) 3.
