I'm sure people are picking games over music.

I see people are voting for what they think is best and not most iconic.

I suppose it's when and what you grew up with which makes games more iconic to you.

Otherwise this would be a pointless exercise and we might as well claim Mario #1 now because it probably is the most iconic game tune ever of every generation.

I don't even think the Mario theme is that well-known outside of gaming circles tbqh.

I love how serious/organised you are with this Rex, it makes all the complaints about nominations and matchups even better :lol:

Serious? No. Organised? Well I made a spreadsheet.

Anyway - 135 votes across those first 4 ties, give yourselves a pat on the back GR.

So are you re-using the existing threads for each tie?

Is there a centralised view of the results so far?

Reusing 4 threads across the round of 16. Results above and each previous tie in each thread is in a spoiler box on the OP.

And we're back folks with, what some people are calling, an event more exciting than a Nintendo direct. Today is the first half of the round of 16 and has some serious heavyweights up against each other. All being well, we should hit the finals by the weekend and crown our champion. Anyways, todays fixtures are

Results from the last round as well. I done goofed slightly and forgot to write down the Halo vs AOE2 score before deleting the poll. Halo was a fairly convincing winner but I can't remember by how many.

Exactly. For me, iconic is the song being recognisable as 'gaming' outside of hard-core fans. Nobody outside of long time gaming is going to know what phendara drifts or the streets of rage them are, but you could play the Tetris or Mario theme to nearly anybody I bet and they'd probably be able to tell you what it is. Both themes were singles in the charts ffs :lol:

Mario is definitely going to earn the title the hard way if (when) it makes it to the final. Picking in the next round between that and Tetris is going to be hard for me.
