+DZ-Jay Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Can this award automatically go to Rocketeer? Ha! I built in a teaser announcing my next game as an easter egg in Christmas Carol when I released it originally in 2012. Fortunately nobody has seen the teaser -- the game hasn't gotten off the design state yet. That's a delay that challenges Rocketeer, if anybody ever knew about it. -dZ.

GroovyBee Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 So the GroovyBee Award? I can't award this to myself, so how about it goes to Defender of the Crown, thats been "in development" for what... 11 years now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Well, at least its not paid for 11 years now And honestely, if you take 4 years (at least, you are the only one who knows if it will be released this year) for Mars Mini Games and Rocketeer, a Arcade Game, then 11 years for an ambitious game like Defender of the Crown, where you have to see license negotiations as well, seems not that much. Or in other words: I don't think you are in the position of making fun about not released games. Really, don't do this.

The only comment I have is that I think that D2K Special Edition is just another variation of the same game. I get it, it's not binary-compatible with its predecessor, so not exactly a re-release, but it's just the same game with bonus material. Is it really "Game Of The Year" competing on the merits of the game, or just "Release Of The Year" competing on the collateral and whole package, including bonus material? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really "Game Of The Year" competing on the merits of the game, or just "Release Of The Year" competing on the collateral and whole package, including bonus material? D2K Arcade SE is definitely an update of a previous game but the "bonus" material is significant. It has completely new screens that are not in any of the other games in the series. Maybe not enough to be "game of the year"; some people might even consider it inferior to the previous version. I can see how people that dont play Donkey Kong might consider them all to be the same game. But many Donkey Kong fans would consider all four games in the series to be different games. LockNchase 8k for example has some 'bonus' material (collapsing Lupin animation). There is also some very minor changes to the player movement. I wouldn't think anyone would consider it a new game. Even if the control were improved it might be considered a 'bug' fixed version rather than a different game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Why is it that every year this "fun" poll turns into a train wreck of a conversation? Someone just start the damn poll and list every game released, be it hack, copyright infringement or whatever. Keep the collapsing Lupin ... who cares? NO ONE is seriously voting for the collapsing Lupin as game of the year (unless they're just trying to prove me wrong ). It's simple ... list all games and let the fans decide what a legitimate, new game release is. We're usually pretty good at it. Personally, I think this year will have a runaway winner. I know my vote will be with Sydney. Edited January 27, 2017 by Fushek 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and I do play donkey Kong quite a bit. It's because of that that to me they all look mostly the same. Anyway, it was a suggestion to create a category for a "release" and leave the brand new games on their own. Of course, the peanut gallery needs to take it personally as an attack. Carry on.

There is certainly different opinions on this. Someone might consuder D2K Arcade and DK Arcade the same game. To me DK North American and Japanese versions are different games. You can't play conveyor belts level 1 or level 2 and springs level 1 on the north american version. To some people the missing difficulty level doesn't matter. For a game of the year contest there are valid arguements either way. But its a different discussion than if a new version of a game is a different game.

Games For Your Intellivision Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Peanut Gallery? I see....anyone who doesn't agree with you is the peanut gallery..... I guess when you release the sequel to your pac man variant that we can call it the 'same game' with 'bonus materials' and take it out of the 'new release' category. I'm sure you will agree and have no problem with that, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any new variant edition of Christmas Carol planned for release, if that is what you are referring to, but if I did, I wouldn't consider it a "brand new game," no. I would regard it -- like I regard all the private variations that I've made for the contest winners -- as just another variant. As it should be. dZ.

Rev Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I had to go back and find my old post (above) of which levels are in which game. D2K Special Edition of course has two brand new levels. In my opinion it should be in the GOTY 2016. As stated in my earlier post. Carry on.

Rev Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Was thinking about this. What Vprette started few years back was GOTY. Game Of The Year. If a GAME was released during the year, it should be included. Period. Don't really matter if its a hack, special edition, add on, repro, etc etc. It was a game that people could purchase amd play for Intellivision should be the only qualifier. Now sub categories is a totally different thing. And I personally like that idea along with the MAIN voting poll. Of course this is only my opinion. I'm not the boss of the intv scene. Haha. I vote for this to be the primary poll options: Gosub IntyBASIC Showcase Volume 1 Sydney Hunter Sacred Tribe Ultimate Pong Desert Bus BC Quest for Tires Super Mine-Field Hard Hat Space Cadet Blow Out D2K Arcade Special Edition Lock N Chase Collapsing Lupin Super Pro Baseball Mystic Castle Missile Domination Land Battle Sub catagories added on for fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 "It was a game that people could purchase amd play for Intellivision should be the only qualifier." So do you/we consider private releases in that category.. ;P Because really they are not known to be released to general community.. Only to the private chosen few.. And when it does finally come out to be known its the next year.. Any Thoughts ? Just throwing it out there.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
