My Daily bump of this thread to get more votes.

Hmm...too many youngies on the site?

blunty, either that or a lot of procrastinators and I should not have put a deadline that far out. Either way I hope more votes start coming in, I'm sure that as soon as I start posting the countdown there will be people complaining about the order, and wondering who voted for them.

^^ quite right.
Either way I'd like to see this list come to fruition with a fairly substantial amount of voters.

Mario
Zelda
Final Fantasy
Sonic
Civilization
Monkey Island
Mega Man
Metroid
Castlevania
Tetris

I could use some more votes in here please.

It's quite hard to settle on only 10 retro franchises. Since the common ones(Mario,Link,Sonic,Tetris,Mega,etc.) are already represented, I decided to vote for unmentioned franchises. I figured I would focus on RPGs, as it was my favorite genre at the time, and with favorites like Chrono, Xenogears, and Final Fantasy already receiveing votes I now present my list:

1. Mother(Earthbound)
2. Seiken Densetsu(Mana)
3. Tales
4. Star Ocean
5. Phantasy Star
6. Lunar
7. Fire Emblem
8. Ogre Battle
9. Breath of Fire
10. Ultima

Daily bump.

I really need some more votes please. If anyone is interested in how this will turn out please help me get some more votes by messaging your VGChartz friends asking them to vote, put a link to the thread in your sig, or just start commenting in this thread about retro franchises to help keep the thread bumped. Thanks!
