^Dude, one of my favorite tracks (I gave it a 100, the top rating!) only placed 1,047! (It was track 3 in the Captain Skyhawk nsf) And I know this might be cheesy, but...thanks to everyone for the props. It really was very time consuming, and I did my best to express something *true* about each song as best as I could. Raub and Norrin (and bucky, who was a big part of things early on) were my soul brothers in this, and I'd like to offer them a special high-five of solidarity. Biggest thanks of all to juef for setting all of this up, and for handling my constant editing and missed deadlines like a total champ. It has been one of the most fun and personally gratifying endeavors I've embarked upon in the past couple of years. This forum has had a great reaction so far...if any of you want to see what it was like for us in Phase 2, I don't think anyone would mind you poking in here and rating some tracks, it's still live after all: http://bestnestracks.captaintortilla.com/

Did that many people really play Shatterhand and Journey to Silius growing up? I'm skeptical about the nostalgia factor (which is what we're really concerned about, right, "the mere exposure effect") affecting those two in particular. I might just be out of touch though. For my own part, I had never even heard of either of those until a few years ago.

I'm astonished and delighted to see so many opinions weighed in here. I agree with a lot of your complaints, both about myself and the list overall. Consider this, though: more than 200 individual games (204 by my count) had four or more songs nominated in the first phase of this project, when everyone was invited to suggest songs they thought would be deserving of such a list. I would have loved it if a single game was limited to two or three songs, but I can't think of any way we would actually have implemented this. There's no way we could have had time to cut the fat individually from over 200 games and ever had this list happen at all. CV3 alone would've taken months, and I don't think Im exaggerating. For what it's worth, here's a sampler of songs that didn't appear that I think were worthy: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20325631/Too%20Bad%2C%20So%20Sad.zip
