mthompson Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Proper voting, not polling, no results visible until voting is closed, like this: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PMMJJ8K I like this idea. The AtariAge thread could have a listing of the games and maybe a suggested voting criteria and the window for the voting period. People could lobby here for their favorite(s) if they want, but the final results would be more meaningful. Make it so! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Proper voting, not polling, no results visible until voting is closed, like this: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PMMJJ8K Responses are not visible until end of Poll IP Addresses are tracked Multiple Responses from same device are Off This is just a test, but once everyone agrees on the Release list that qualifies we can set up a proper one. Is there a way to limit the entries?... otherwise potentially I could vote at home, at work, at Starbucks, etc. (I think, anyway). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthompson Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) For the actual ballot, the games could be listed in the order that they were released. Come to think of it, what qualifies as a release? Does it have to be sold, or can it be free? Oh Mummy! was released on December 13 for free (and has 154 downloads at the moment), and 2048 was posted in November. I believe nanochess considers these finished.

Rev Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) i vote for a digital release to be a seperate poll. Who kept track of what month stuff is released? maybe alphabetized? Edited January 14, 2017 by Rev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Who kept track of what month stuff is released? Looks like you ought to know when at least half of them debuted Almost all the others were announced on AA or in your newsletter. A bunch came out in October. The order doesn't matter to me, as long as it's not random. Edited January 14, 2017 by mthompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Tarzilla Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Is there a way to limit the entries?... otherwise potentially I could vote at home, at work, at Starbucks, etc. (I think, anyway).I'll have to go back and check. Survey Monkey has lots of options but it not the only tool. However, the AA polls are next to useless for this purpose(as determined by a person that does polling/surveys and resulting analysis for a career) Any system not tied to users AND some system set baselines can be gamed. AA's poll module can be set to hide how a member voted, it can not hide results until a poll is done, probably the biggest issue. Secondly, a statistician would set some base rules unknown to participants such as: accounts created after the vote starts would be subject to extra analysis...have they made posts in other threads, have they EVEN VIEWED other threads except the voting thread. How many 0-day accounts share IP addresses with existing members, especially participants. Etc. These rules would be established before the voting starts. This data exists in the AA server logs but is not worth mining or bothering Albert for. Even a system where the user has to create an account can be gamed by using throwaway email accounts. Another method is to use single use Random Access Codes distributed to members, we also use this technique at work due to some overly paranoid people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 For whatever reason I still cant wrap my thought process around the Lock N Chase collapsing Lupin thing. If it is relative in some way please let me know, and i will pick it up. Thanks guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Game of the year, to me just my vote.......Sydney Hunter.Sacred Tribe. I do like others such as Go Sub, Ultimate Pong, Missile Domination and Mystic Castle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 For the actual ballot, the games could be listed in the order that they were released. I'm not sure 100%, but I think: Gosub (October) IntyBASIC Showcase Volume 1 (October) Sydney Hunter Sacred Tribe (December) Ultimate Pong (October) Desert Bus (October) BC Quest for Tires (November 2015, I guess) Super Mine-Field (June) Hard Hat (September) Space Cadet (September) Blow Out (September) D2K Arcade Special Edition (May) Lock N Chase Collapsing Lupin (dunno) Super Pro Baseball (November) Mystic Castle (November) Missile Domination (January-February) Land Battle (January-February) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 BC Quest for Tires (November 2015, I guess) According to the "Super-Sekrit-PM" this was sold on Sep 24, 2015 10:54 PM, so it doesn't qualify for 2016. D2K Arcade Special Edition (May) Again, really? Isn't there a re-release every friggin' year? I'm not sure 100%, but I think: Hard Hat (September) Space Cadet (September) Blow Out (September) Lock N Chase Collapsing Lupin (dunno) Mystic Castle (November) I think all those are bootlegs, no? Should we count them separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1980gamer Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I am an Auto Racing / Motocross fan. I like the idea of Stadium Mud Buggies but the control of the Monster Truck ( mud biggie ) is horrible. It reminds me of EARLY 2600 games. I wish it had realistic steering! That would be the best Update ever!!!!!!!! Yes, new racing games for the intellivision would be great! What ever happened to the GRAVITAR type game? As for GOTY.... That is hard. I think Missile Domination is pretty cool and I am huge fan of Super Pro Baseball. But I think I have played Mystic Castle the most. Hmmmm.

m-crew Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Do minor changes on a game ,make it a new release?(how much of the game code is different then the original) and If its a secret game release, How could it be included in a Public GOTY pole, Maybe include them to a secret pole with the secret people involved for those game releases. In my opinion for the bootleg releases and minor changes , as was suggested there be a separate pole - Upgraded-GOTY release's Or lets take a pole where to take the pole ,and a pole to see what games should be on a pole or poles... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Stadium Mud Buggies is really well done. I like the gear changing, but I wish the steering method was selectable like Motocross. Holding these side buttons is still tough. It deals with the two player problem best but I still prefer Auto Racing as a one player game; and prefer SMB over Motocross. I think 'Game of the Year' means best new game of the year. D2K Arcade SE is in the DxK family but it does have new screens and is more of a new game than Super Pro Baseball, Mystic Castle, or Lock'N'Chase. Some of these bootlegs have been officially released before, some as early as 1999. LockNChase (collapsing lupin) has been available for a long time and there's not enough in it to consider it a new game. Anyone with a Cuttle Cart 3 has been able to play these games on a real Intellivision for a long time. You can have a seperate category like best new box/overlays. If a never before seen game shows up like eg. Firetruck, why not count it even though it might be a bootleg, unless its best new homebrew. I read that only a few BCs Quest for Tires were made for friends. That doesn't sound like it was released but I dont know what happened.

+DZ-Jay Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I read that only a few BCs Quest for Tires were made for friends. That doesn't sound like it was released but I dont know what happened. Not quite. It was released for sale to a close group of collectors. The idea was to avoid getting too much attention from Copyright owners and prevent another expensive loss like what happened with Smurf Adventure. CollectorVision requested it not to be put on eBay and not to publish details that could result in another Cease & Desist letter. I'm just saying this now because the cat is already out of the bag, so I figure may as well set the pubic record straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I guess once collectorvision themselves put it on ebay it was okay for others to do the same. Edit: I forgot about the rom file release. Did that happen? An electronic file release is still a release and can be played on any Intellivision.

As an aside, Rev does tons of poles as part of his Friday night job. Cool that you guys share that in common...oh wait, you said POLLS.....my bad.
