Intellivision GOTY 2021 (category discussion)

Recommended Posts

H.E.L.I. currently is on both lists, but I don't know if the physical version is any different from the digital version.  Same goes about Super Pro King of the Mountain. I mentioned that the digital version of Antarctic Tales is the Enhanced Edition which should be mentioned.

 

Fantasy (which is different from Fantasy Puzzle) currently isn't on either list, but probably should be added to both.

Good question. Are digital releases considered stop-gap measures while waiting for capacity to produce complete in box cartridges, or simply a parallel market whether or not those digital games are encrypted and tied to a particular device? Or are all (commercial) games equal, regardless how those are distributed? Do you evaluate a game only based on its gameplay and audiovisuals, or weigh in packaging and extras to determine which game is the best?

I think it would be hard to not let overall experience creep in.  Box, Manual, Overlays etc.

 

But it is Game of the year.  So, I think we could do best presentation and GOTY

 

Does it even need to be commercial?  If someone put a free game out.  I can think of Oscar's Halloween game as an example.

I think commercial games should be separated into their own categories.  Of course, a free game can be just as polished and of high quality as any commercial title, but commercial titles require a level of financial and time commitments that tend to inform the dynamics of not only the production and distribution, but also of the character of the game itself, including its themes, quality assurance, presentation polish, etc.

so is this the final list or something is missing?

 

CIB 

X-Ray

Super Pro King of the Mountain

GORF

The GOONiNUFF

Death Race

Fantasy Puzzle

Unlucky Pony’s Adventures

Ni Felter

H.E.L.I. 
Antarctic Tales

Intellivania

 

DIGITAL

Super Pro King of the Mountain

Super Pro Backgammon

Super Pro Boxing

Bank Panic

Norseman

The Sorrow of Gadhlan' Thur

Pumpkin Mischief

The Leprechaun’s Flight

H.E.L.I.

Antarctic Tales

Jr Pac Man 

So, Little Man Computer isn't making the Digital list?  Granted, it's a Tutorvision title and isn't a game.  I just want to know if it's not being considered rather than being carelessly overlooked.

 

Also, X-Ray was released as X-Ray & DILLIGAS.

I think you will see all those situations. It feels like if all those things have to be taken into account, then the classification is getting too complicated.

I can see the argument for disregarding release methods (CIB/Digital) and having a single list.

As long we don't require a game to have had a physical CIB release to be on the list, it's already a step forward in my view.

The best way to resolve this is to have subcategories for voting, but I have a feeling that won't fly.

I don't fully get the rationale for not doing it, but at this point, I'm fine with whatever gets done.

In my view Little Man Computer does deserve a place. If there was a category for "technical achievement" or something like that, you would get my vote ?

I think the game list needs to be wrapped up first. And whether there are any categories or not.

 

If we were to keep it simple this year and make no distinction between CIB/Digital or Commercial/Free, I believe this would be the consolidated list.  It's in alphabetical order.

 

What else is missing or in need of correction?

 


Antarctic Tales

Antarctic Tales Enhanced Edition
Bank Panic
Death Race
Fantasy
Fantasy Puzzle
GORF
H.E.L.I.
Intellivania
Jr Pac Man
Little Man Computer
Ni Felter
Norseman
Omega Race
Pumpkin Mischief
Sasuke Vs Commander
Super Pro Backgammon
Super Pro Boxing
Super Pro King of the Mountain
The GOONiNUFF
The Leprechaun’s Flight
The Sorrow of Gadhlan' Thur
Unlucky Pony’s Adventures
X-Ray & DILLIGAS

Didn’t Junior Pacman come out a few years ago? I’m sure I bought it CIB at Prge in 2017 or so.

And Intelliventvision released some more Super Pro type upgrades in 2021 if we are counting those, there was SP Bump’n’Jump plus Tron Reloaded Mazeatron and Tron Rebooted Deadlier Disc.
