Based on the results of
round 3 in the best MSX1 game ever mega-poll, 12 games would not have moved to the final round. However, the differences with the 'winning' games were so small, that the situation actually was too close to call.
By looking at the votes given in the the first three rounds altogether, we decided there were twelve games that had received enough votes to move on to
round 4 after all. And so they did. People who already voted are asked to complete their votes.
