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.
