Vote Oddworld in to the Smithsonian
From oddworld.com:
:
The voting site isn't actually working for me right now - when I choose Era 4 and click on the link to vote, I get a blank page - but if it works for you, please vote. |
It's not working for me right now either.
Still, once it gets working I can't imagine Oddworld losing out to Crash Bandicoot. Maybe MGS, but honestly I doubt it. |
It seems to work for me, though it's a bit slow. That's an interesting selection they have there, though I get the feeling they're missing out on a few games that deserve a mention (such as many of the DOS classics, some of them had awesome artwork for their time). At least AO, Psychonauts and Half-Life 2 are among them. (Was Worms Armageddon really on the Nintendo 64?)
|
It took quite a bit of patience for the pages to load for me, but I managed it. Good luck, Oddworld!
|
Not working for me either. I'll check again tomorrow.
|
I'm not sure that this is actually a "Vote and we'll put it in dealy". The impression I got was that it's more about expression of interest and that if both Oddworld and MGS get a lot of votes, they could both be in the exhibition.
Also, the site is probably under a lot of load at the moment as the URL gets passed around the intertubes. If it doesn't work for you, maybe leave off and try again in a couple o' days. |
Wooo Oddworld is gonna wiiin
yeeeah |
I voted, go Oddworld! :)
|
Voted!
Man this page takes ages to load... |
I don't seem to be able to register.
|
Voted for Oddysee, as well as pretty much everything I liked. Surprised Audiosurf didn't make in there. That game is art.
|
voted too.
Took about two seconds to load. Must've been quiet. |
:
I had to leave the tab open, go to something else and come back to it a few minutes later. |
I'll Vote Oddworld :P
|

Apparently Alf had the problem too :lol: :
|

>: ( Anyway Ima leave the page up and see what happens. |
So long as it turns everyone away except us, we're laughing.
|
Nvm it works now. HahahaHAHAHAHH!!!
Im voting for Oddworld and command and conquer :D And some blizzard games! |
1825 - this is my password.
Anyway, I think that Oddworld has a good chance of winning but I'm interested in how an epoch 1 game or whatever can have good art? It's like a competition between pong and space invaders surely? |
It's not about having good art. It's about being good art. And that takes in to account many things, including quality, originality and historical importance.
|
The voting site seems to be more responsive. At least it is at my end! So go vote now!
|
I voted! I might go back and vote for other games, too.
|
I did. I can't believe Minecraft is nominated! and Ratchet and Clank isn't in the PS2 era :(
|
You can't compare R'nC to SoTC or GoW. They're in different leagues. I don't know about THU2, though.
|
I had to vote for fallout 1! The best PC game other than AOE2 and DoWI known to man.
|
Wow, is that a screen shot of Toy Commander for the Dreamcast they have representing the "Transition" era?
I honestly don't think Oddworld revolutionized video games as much as Metal Gear Solid did but Oddworld definitely gets my vote because it shows people who aren't avid gamers what a versatile medium gaming is and that it's not all about violence and shooting people. |
Voted, Oddworld can do it!, why does it take so long to load?
|
I voted. I don't know if Oddworld can stand up to the likes of MGS, though, but I remain faithful.
|
I'm unsure if Oddworld can beat Crash Bandicoot 3
|
It shits over CB3 as a work of art.
|
Doesn't matter if it shits over it or not, I'm sure most of the people that voted on this voted MGS not because it's art but because it was that cool action game that had solid snake and what the fuck is oddworld anyway??
Still, I voted for Oddworld. No point in being a negative nancy about it! |
Actually, lots of people know about Oddworld.
I do agree with you, though: most people won't vote on how much of a work of art a game is like they're supposed to. |
I don't actually know what Metal Gear Solid is.
._. |
|
I never got into Metal Gear. I played the 2nd one on PS1 and that was amazing.
|
You mean you played the first Metal Gear Solid game on the PS1, which was the 3rd Metal Gear game.
Max, you're missing out on fucking hours of epic cutscene that most people couldn't care less about. Also, some neat gameplay. |
I voted! I hope Oddworld wins!
|
:
I don't want to believe you! |
I bought Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of liberty (or something like that), but when I put it in the PS2 and pressed start it kept repeating the "Press Start" screen. I sent it back and after THAT they tell me they don't have another disc or whatever so I got my money back.

Cool story bro.
