Colossal Game Adventure: February 2026 Lobbying Topic

Welcome to the lobbying topic for CGA!

This is your chance to try to sway people's votes by endorsing certain titles. Let people know why a certain game is awesome, or how a particular entry is of historical value, or why others really need to play this gem of yesteryear.

Lobbying is not limited in any way, so you can endorse/support as many entries as you like.

Negative lobbying is also allowed, but please try to do it as fairly as possible. The point isn't to rag on someone else's choices, but it might be acceptable in cases such as "The camera controls unfortunately can be very frustrating" or "It's quite hard to get up and running." Basically: try to keep it to valuable information that people would want to know before playing, but not for the purposes of hating on a game in particular.

Anyone can participate. CGA does not require membership and is always open to all.

Importantly, this is NOT the final voting topic. This topic will remain up for 48 hours, after which we will hold the voting in a separate topic.

A reminder on the voting mechanics

Just so people remember how the voting will go and can plan accordingly:

Each person will have 20 votes to distribute among games they see fit.

Each person will be able to allocate a maximum of 5 points per Single Game/Arcade Special.

A reminder on the culling mechanics

And again, so people can plan for what happens to the list once voting is completed:

The top 6 games will be chosen to be played (or more in the event of a tie).

The top 50% will advance to the next round. They will start the next round with a base score of 70% of their vote totals.

The bottom 50% will be removed from the list.
