Beta
The following games appeared on the beta version of the list. The beta version was a primitive rough draft of the list. Therefore, the following games should by no means be considered games that 'just missed the cut.' Although some of these games still have fairly high scores, a greater number of lists as well as an adjusted formula mean that many of the following will likely never again be in serious contention to re-enter the 200 most acclaimed video games list.
