Game of the Year (GOTY) 2016-Retro Version

[+Tarzilla]

Releases have been broken into categories and because people asked for the old, monolithic everything-in-one-list, that version is at the bottom as Legacy version:

 

The Poll is now open, it will close no sooner than February 18th, 2017 and no later than February 28th, 2017, I have PM'ed Albert the actual time I've picked to close the voting.

 

 

Added "None of the above choices"

[Byte Knight]

First to vote!

[Eric7100]

[m-crew]

[+DZ-Jay]

No Piggy Bank this year?

[GroovyBee]

Nearly!

A "Did not purchase" option needs to be added to the "Best Bootleg/Hack/Update-Physical Release" category for people that aren't interested in those games. A "No opinion"option needs to be added to "Best Box Art/Packaging/Manual/Overlays etc." category for the people that don't care how the game arrived they just want to play it (or they purchased/played the ROM).

Yeah, I was forced to vote for "Best Bootleg" in order to submit my entry, but I didn't buy nor played any of them.

I like the simplicity of the legacy method, but the subcategories tell a richer story of the past year in homebrewery.

Oh, that is a beautiful quote. Who said that?

Nice that you could design your own award!

[retroillucid]

Ahaha.... It's not over yet though

[Rev]

Ahaha.... It's not over yet though

Ummm. Not hard to predict.

[retroillucid]

Ummm. Not hard to predict.

 

I'm quite surprised to be honest!

There's many good titles in the list

It would appear the real battle is in the second category between Dave's enhanced baseball and Mystic Castle. Both are great, I went with baseball.

Maybe Rev will post a picture of the original GOTY 2016 Award I 3d printed.

[Eric7100]

Will there be an electoral college that ultimately decides the GOTY?

[Rev]

Will there be an electoral college that ultimately decides the GOTY?

I think Tarzilla confirmed that in another thread. PM him for more details.

Electoral College is an American thing, and we are all seeing how well that is working out so PMing me won't be that useful.

However, If you want to see a picture of rev's proposed trophy, PM him

Mystic Castle is missing in the Box/Overlays/Instructions category.

[+intellivotion]

Mystic Castle is missing in the Box/Overlays/Instructions category.

those have been released in 2017, IIRC

[Intymike]

those have been released in 2017, IIRC

 

That may be right.

 

So, this year you can vote for Mystic Castle the game, and next year for the additional stuff?

Maybe for the boxes for those two games too?
