+Adam+ Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 If you love games on Atari 8-bit and you like new games on this machine, the best way to say "thank you" to the games creators is to vote for their works We are very curious what are your choices as different people have different tastes. You don't have to select all 10 games - maybe you just want to give points for 3 or 4 games, that's OK for us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Dear Atarians, It's the 10th edition of annual Kaz Kompo contest and on behalf of AtariOnline.pl site I would like to invite YOU to take part. Help us to decide which 8-bit Atari game published during last year was the best. ... The voting ends on midnight (your local time) of December 28th/29th, 2016. There's not much time to vote! You now have 3 categories (which is good): games,10 liners and hacks - is there a vote for each or just one overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Adam+ Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Maybe I didn't make it clear: there is just one "category", as always. I have divided games to 3 groups for better orientation. For example all tenliners are included in one file (no need to find them in the package by name) and also one may evaluate a game higher knowing that it's written in just 10 lines. Vote for any 10 (or less) games from the list you want Edited December 17, 2016 by +Adam+ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Adam+ Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I'd like to notice that some of the games with non-English titles can be played without knowing specific language (for example Oczopląs). However there are two games Chcete být milionářem and Tajemný Amulet where the player has to know Czech language - unfortunately there is no other version. Duszpasterz Jan Rzygoń is a Polish title, but don't worry, the game comes in two language versions, so you can play it in English as well. Here you can find a map for this game - it was too big to add it to games package. Edited December 17, 2016 by +Adam+ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Here are the ones I had the most fun with 1. Chimera+ 10pts - superb. Checkout my review in Pro© Magazine Issue #7 2. Curse of the lost Miner - spent a good few hours completing this, interesting controls and different ways to complete some levels. You might pool the votes for the two CUTLM games as people will vote for one or the other but not both? 3. Bomber - very playable and great to see a new paddles game (joystick also) 4. Toy Swap - perhaps too easy / long? 5. Atarinet - simple but fun 6. Ramp Rage - (my own) classic arcade game with long term playablity. Lots of features and progressive difficulty over many levels. If anyone found it too complex then just think there are 4 coloured playfields so work out which colours kill you; it changes when you are airborne 7. Jim Slide - nice game 8. Gravity - (my own) turned out much better than I thought; several different bonus stages to keep the game interesting, probably most players will not reach the more challenging ones on levels 12 and 15 as level 10 is mean! 9. Delta Space Arena - liked the demo, would consider purchasing if someone would review or comment on the game. 10. Jawbreaker 2 - again simple but fun Thanks everyone for taking the time to create something, don't be upset if you end up with 0 points as this poll format is tough on the smaller games!! I like the new hacks category to give everyone recognition for their efforts. The Zone Ranger fix is a great example, for years I wondered why the game didn't do much inside the complex and after a HSC play / discussion with NTSC players contacted Fandal who kindly fixed this I'll plug the High Score Club here as the new season starts in January and we desperately need some more players to keep this alive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Adam+ Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 8Bitjunkie contacted with us and explained, that his "Dimo's Quest - Setz Dich Durch Und Sei Kein Lurch!" game, presented on AtariAge in March 2016, was in fact shown in October 2015 during ABBUC General Meeting. Also that version included all levels from Dimo's New Year's Disk version, so we have replaced the previous file with newer game, called in short: "Dimo's Quest - Lurch Edition". Here you can find 8Bitjunkie's post from March with some details about differences. There are two language versions of that edition: English and German. Unfortunately Dimo's games don't work in NTSC (PAL only so far). All the previous votes for NYD 2015 Edition are counted now as votes for Lurch Edition. And the new version of Kaz Kompo games package can be downloaded from HERE 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
