This is going to be one tough category to nail down a winner. Each of these WIP games look promising. (And I have only got one vote)

 

Maybe weighted votes next year?

I would love to do weighted votes and we were looking into it. Maybe next year! It still would make you choose your favourite, hahah.

I was only half joking. Then the hard part is 6 times worse, deciding between whether each game in your ranked choice should be higher on the list than the one before it?

This was one of the hardest categories, no doubt.

[EmuDan]

Wow! So many great arcade ports that are WIP! It's very hard to choose a winner in this category.  Can't wait for all of these to be completed!
