Cybergoth Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi there! Last year I ran a nomination thread for the HotY 2006 poll: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99740 In 2007 there were fewer titles entering the AA store, according to my notes this is a complete list of new entries: Bee-Ball by Ivan Machado Colony 7 by Manuel Rotschkar Elevators Amiss by Bob Montgomery Encaved by Simon Quernhorst Gingerbread Man by Fred Quimby GoSub by Chris Read Melbourne Tatty by Edward Griffiths N.E.R.D.S. by Sam "|*BILLY$CLINT*|" Deiter Raster Fahndung by Simon Quernhorst Squish 'Em by Bob Montgomery Stella's Stocking by Various Sync by Simone Serra The Last Ninja by Ryan Cope So, instead of doing nominations, I thought to just have all of them enter the official HotY 2007 poll this time. It will be launched in early April, just like the previous two years: 2005 / 2006 Basically I'm posting the list now to A) make sure that I didn't forget anything and B) to give the authors a chance to bail out, in case they don't want to have their game participating in the poll. Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 and C) so people can actually play some of them...have any copies of B-B, C7, GM, SE, SS, or Sync shipped yet? That's like half the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Gingerbread Man was released at NWCGE, so at least some copies of that one are out there. Don't forget The Last Ninja and N.E.R.D.S. Also - is this limited to just 2600 homebrews? There are a few new 7800 ones, and Adventure II finally shipped this year for the 5200. Interesting though how very little came out in the first half of the year. I thought more games came out than that, but I guess most of what I reviewed this year were older games I just hadn't picked up before.

Cybergoth Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Don't forget The Last Ninja and N.E.R.D.S. I didn't forget them, but they're disqualified since there's no ROMs available. Also - is this limited to just 2600 homebrews? Yup. The others can run their own show if they want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I didn't forget them, but they're disqualified since there's no ROMs available. Final ROMs aren't available (as far as I know) for Simon's two games, Sync, Stella's Stocking or Melbourne Tatty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm... you're right, that rule might drastically reduce the number of choices. I didn't think that through to the end. Let's forget about the availabilty of ROMs then, I'll just add them to the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well, as great as I think Stella's Stocking is, can we really call it a 2007 release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well, as great as I think Stella's Stocking is, can we really call it a 2007 release? It entered the store the same day than 7 other entries from the list, in december Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well, as great as I think Stella's Stocking is, can we really call it a 2007 release? What about Toyshop Trouble, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Toyshop Trouble was part of the 2006 poll already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi, I didn't forget them, but they're disqualified since there's no ROMs available. Final ROMs aren't available (as far as I know) for Simon's two games, Sync, Stella's Stocking or Melbourne Tatty. The ROM files of Raster Fahndung are available at http://www.quernhorst.de/atari I have to add the downloads for Encaved, but the PAL file is available from the MiniGameCompo2007 website. It won the second place in the 4k compo. Thanks, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
