Cybergoth #1 Posted January 2, 2007 Hi there! Last year I started a poll regarding this: 2600 Homebrew of the Year 2005 I think this year we can forward the award straight to johnnywc for Lady Bug, or does anyone insist on a poll? Greetings, Manuel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zach #2 Posted January 2, 2007 It depends on whether Toyshop Trouble counts as a 2006 or 2007 game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoth #3 Posted January 2, 2007 It was listed in the AA shop 2006, so it should count for 2006. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vdub_bobby #4 Posted January 2, 2007 Did Medieval Mayhem get out the door in time? I'd maybe give that my vote over Lady Bug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Jentzsch #5 Posted January 2, 2007 You better start a poll, Manuel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+batari #6 Posted January 2, 2007 Toyshop Trouble gets my vote. There were several excellent games released this year, but I think that TT's originality pushes it above the rest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoth #7 Posted January 2, 2007 Thanks for nominating Toyshop Trouble and Medieval Mayhem guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+SpiceWare #8 Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Did Medieval Mayhem get out the door in time? I'd maybe give that my vote over Lady Bug. Thank you The game was done in time, but no copies have shipped with the exception of the 4 I gave as Xmas gifts. We're still waiting on the manual from David. He sent me the final proof on the 23rd, which I told him looked fine. He's not been on AA since the 27th. I'm a little concerned that something may have happened to him, though I suspect it's just the holidays. Edited January 2, 2007 by SpiceWare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decypher #9 Posted January 2, 2007 Toyshop Trouble has my vote Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Nathan Strum #10 Posted January 2, 2007 If you can - make this a "poll of the week" so it gets more responses than last year's poll did. I think a game would have to ship in 2006 to be in the poll, personally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+SpiceWare #11 Posted January 2, 2007 I think a game would have to ship in 2006 to be in the poll, personally. Makes sense to me - hard to vote for a game if you haven't even had a chance to play it and Medieval Mayhem really needs to be played on a real Atari due to paddles.

BTW: If you mean David Exton, I think I saw a post from him today. If you can - make this a "poll of the week" so it gets more responses than last year's poll did. I think a game would have to ship in 2006 to be in the poll, personally. Maybe we need another poll to determine if MM should be in the poll... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just have a second look *when* I posted the 2005 poll and which two games did best and when they entered the store Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoth #14 Posted January 2, 2007 Maybe we need another poll to determine if MM should be in the poll... Well, if the only two nominated challengers of Lady Bug chicken out of the competition with dubious excuses, rewind to my initial post please Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supercat #15 Posted January 2, 2007 Well, if the only two nominated challengers of Lady Bug chicken out of the competition with dubious excuses, rewind to my initial post please I'm no chicken. Albert sent me an email on Dec. 27 indicating that he had printed the manuals, had soldered a bunch of TT carts, and would be putting them into shells that day. I would expect that a significant number of the carts should have shipped in 2006 even if they weren't received in that year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirin jensen #20 Posted January 3, 2007 how bout a separate Batari Basic category as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zach #21 Posted January 3, 2007 Four-Play? Wow, thanks! If Four-Play gets on a poll, so should Conquest of Mars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PressureCooker2600 #22 Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Four-Play? Wow, thanks!

supercat #24 Posted January 3, 2007 yea....nominate four-play, ladybug, and even though they havent come yet, they have been playable: Toyshop Trouble, Medieval Mayhem, E.T. Book Cart...... It might make sense to run the poll after people have had a chance to actually received all the games in question. I will confess to some surprise that nobody's boasted of getting TT yet since I would have expected a significant number to have shipped by December 29. But maybe some people got it today and were too busy playing it to post on AA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
