Ok, it took some extra time to prepare the fourth round in the Best MSX1 game ever mega-poll. Only 32 games left. Some interesting things happened: Knightmare managed to get a 100% score over 2 rounds, but in the third 6 people preferred Dragon Slayer 4 over Knightmare. Still, this classic is on to the next round, something which can not be said about Nemesis 2 (sorry Konamiman!), which was beaten by the clock - and Kings Valley 2. However, all other games in the Nemesis (Gradius, if you like) saga are still in the game. We also had to say goodbye to underdog-favorite La abadia del Crimen. Konami is still going strong. 23 out of 32 games in round 4 are Konami games.
As usual, we present you a list of game pairs. Your task is to select the game you like the most of each game pair and submit your list of favorites: 16 games to this forum thread. Whether or not your favorite games move on to round 5 of the best MSX1 game ever megapoll is in YOUR hands. After round 5, there is only one more round to go of selecting like this. The remaining 4 games will battle on a frontpage poll.
A grand total of 37 people voted in round 3. Although there are some VERY touch choices, I hope even more people will vote in this round. You have four days left to decide. Happy voting!!
***Update
Because some of the previous results were too close to call, 12 more games moved on to round 4. Be sure to check if you voted on ALL game-pairs.
