Honoured that Galaga took 7th place with so many games coming out every year. Also congratulations to Sonic for winning the 2022 award :D

@RetroGamerNation 2 года назад

I sense the novelty of Sonic might wear off by then and be usurped by a little Pig on a Quest.

@IsaacKuo 2 года назад

Wow, considering the quality of the games that didn't even make the top 10, the C64 game development scene is really hot.

@RetroGamerNation 2 года назад

That is 3 in a row for Sarah and her RGN C64 Award wins. At least time, no one can claim that she only won because of her followers.

@DavideNastri 2 года назад

@@RetroGamerNation I'd add... Why does she have followers? Maybe because... She makes great games?

@RetroGamerNation 2 года назад

Yes, Sarah makes good games but unfortunately not all of her followers have played her C64 games. One of the main reasons I stopped doing public voting for this award is that while I can easily identify spam voting by individuals, it is harder to identify when friends and family members of coders vote even though they don't play C64 games.

@DavideNastri 2 года назад

@@RetroGamerNation This is true probably for countless other polls. Some people don't buy games, just see reviews on RU-vid and vote or just vote because they trust a software house or IP.

Brilliant episode. Just goes to show that the C64 is going from strength to strength! On e thing not mentioned is that THEC64 owners can also run Sonic as the has REU in built. Maybe the future is in expanded games? See what happens in 2022!

@freddiejohnson6137 2 года назад

Seen the Sonic game the other day and even though it needs a bit of assistance to run on a standard system I am blown away by it. I remember a joke news piece in one of the final issues of Commodore Force, what Zzap64 was renamed as, that a Sonic game was coming to the system. They did admit at the end it wasn't true and was just done to fill space as there was no real news... jokes on them now.

@WDeeGee1 2 года назад

If you want Sonic, check out Mayhem in Monsterland (1993). That is where SEGA got the idea for SONIC.

@MentatOfDune 2 года назад

Cheers for the vids. I might have swapped 1 and 2 but there's no doubting the quality of both titles.

@RetroGamerNation 2 года назад

Yes, I think Sarah's two titles would finish on top most legitimate Award polls. Both games got selected 14 times but more people chose Soul Force as their favourite.

@gregszalas4225 2 года назад

How can you get those new releases? What media they’re come on - tapes, disks or cartridges?

@tziirkq 2 года назад

It depends on the game. Some are also downloadable for putting on an SD2IEC, or similar device.

@gregszalas4225 2 года назад

@@tziirkq if I manage sd2eic at good price, definitely would be happy and test those game this way. Do you think they can be recorded on tape and play from them?

@tziirkq 2 года назад

@@gregszalas4225 Tape games need specific loaders, I think. They can be saved to disk very easily as a .PRG. I would personally say that an SD solution for the C64 is the best gift someone can get for themselves. There's too many fun games to play that are download only. I got my SD2IEC at "the future was 8 bit." But look around for different types, like Kung Fu Flash, BackBit, and more, they all have pros and cons.

@RetroGamerNation 2 года назад

Greg, links to the games are in the video description if you want to check them out and see in what formats they come. Also if you are looking at a modern day storage solution the Ultimate II+ is best (but expensive and out of stock at the moment) while I would suggest you look at Kung Fu Flash for a more affordable and compatible solution (SD2IEC can be incompatible with fastloaders for example).

@MentatOfDune 2 года назад

Nice to see Tiny Quest at 10. Wasn't a fan of the password system but loved the speed and precision of the gameplay. I really liked it and it was definitely top 3 for me (probably at number 3 behind RGN's 1 and 2).

@RetroGamerNation 2 года назад

Tiny Quest was definitely a Top 5 for me - I am not sure why the game was not more commercially successful though. It's a shame.

@BagoZonde 2 года назад

@@RetroGamerNation Do you mean that TOP 10 reflects or should reflect games' commercial success? Perhaps the opinions are created this way and this is something to be cautious about. Commercialisation factor doesn't prove how good the game is. This is a wrong measure, as saying that some games are AAA so they have to be good and are definitely better than others. Similarly, when country's GDP is high, it doesn't mean that the country is doing well. When house windows are broken due to unrests or wars, GDP might go higher due to the demand of fixing things, but it doesn't say nothing more than that. But let's put these examples aside. For such comparisons what game is the best, I was never fan of it, as it's like comparing apples and pears. Thus I am not surprised at all.

@RetroGamerNation 2 года назад

@@BagoZonde No this year's top 10 is definitely just a reflection of quality and this is how it should be. The comment about commercial success takes into consideration both the quality of the game and it's accessibility (example, is it free or affordable). I thought Tiny Quest had all the factors to make it a commercial success (look, gameplay, affordability) but it just never clicked with the broader community.

Arcade Daze not in Top 10? It's superior to at least three games on that list...

@RetroGamerNation 2 года назад

Thanks for taking the time to let us know that you enjoyed Arcade Daze. Unfortunately, only 2 of the 21 people on the panel voted for it. I was one of the testers for Arcade Daze, so I know the game well and in my personal view the panel got it right. Not quite Top 10 material. If you are interested in being on the voting panel for 2022, please feel free to contact me via email, facebook or twitter and I will record your details and maybe have a little chat about our love for C64 games if you are up to it.
