+cmart604 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 This will be a tough one, lots of solid games. I don't think this is one of those no brainer years where one title was head and shoulders better than the rest. I'm not sure how I'll be voting...It should be interesting.

vprette Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) the list of 2018 home-brews at Atari side is never-ending.... I wonder the quality Edited January 1, 2019 by vprette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot approve all that I see there... but still have to check better... maybe we find suggestions for improving the GOTY next year? its simple.... 1.) I compile EVEVRYTHING (I'm the curator of "The List" for Atari homebrews and hacks) - which is the list you're looking at 2.) We have a committee selected already that will trim it down to 10-12 titles per category (10 categories in award show) - during Jan 2019 3.) open voting will begin at the end of Jan 2019 4.) Live results presented on the Twitch show: ZeroPage Homebrew in Feb. 2019 (with awards and possible winners calling in to accept) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many had CIB? I genuinely know very little about homebrews outside of the Intellivision community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) the ones listed on the list as "available at...." or "sold out" - all others had some type of ROM posted online somewhere during the year So if I'm reading the Atari list correctly, there have been 18 (new) games already released in physical form during 2018 + 2 games to be released in physical form in 2019, another 28 games in digital form (and yes, I consider being included on the Retron 77 as digital form), one game (Baby) which is unclear to me as I doubt one sells newly made cartridges on itch.io for $1 each, and two games that are strikeover which I suppose means they have requested to not be part of the Game of the Year awards? The Intellivision people seem to have settled at 15 games for 2018, not counting games planned for physical release but not yet there, nor WIPs, raw contest entries, other freebies, hacks or demos. Basically if we limit it to games released in physical form, the Atari 2600 has an advantage of a mere 3 titles compared to the Intellivision for 2018.

+Steve Jones Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Had time today to play a few 2018 releases, gonna be tough to pick, couldnt do any Elektronite games and still waiting for a couple to arrive, but really enjoyed Moonsweeper (never played any other versions before) and I am a bit addicted to Sea Venture, simple concept but fun.

Yeah by my count: for the "homebrews" section...16 released and sold in physical form (several more coming in 2019 - never made it before the end of 2018) and 34 titles completed and ROMs (either final or a WIP ROM) released/posted somewhere online, & the strikeover ones are titles that didn't get released during the year (but were scheduled to).... hope that makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that ZeroPage Homebrew has a Twitch channel where the results will be broadcast. https://www.twitch.tv/zeropagehomebrew/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
