Top 10 Favourite Commodore 64 games of 2023 - RGN Gamer's Choice Results! 

Spectrum homebrew cheats the colour limits - check out Gandalf and Manic Pietro (after understanding how the colour restrictions work lol)

Hey Adam, I think I would have got cancelled from the internet if APQ did not end up winning. But you and I are on the same page....Lester for ever baby...LOL!

Thanks Ollie. I really appreciate your honesty about not playing as many games during 2023. Hopefully next year.

It is the voting panel’s pleasure. Very well deserved as you took your time to make sure it was the best it could be.

Thank you for your on going game development which no doubt would be very time consuming. I always wonder what the motivation is for modern day c64 game publishers

I thought 2023 had the most depth of quality games in the modern era. Roll on 2024.

Thank you again for your huge support. I only decided to run the Award this year on Christmas Day, so I am grateful that I was able to once again to get a good turn out of voters that I could reach out to and turn everything around within 4 days. Admittedly, I did edit down the video and removed the missing features that you refer to...viewing data shows that most people prefer to just cycle through the countdown and miss out on all my witty and clever comments :)

@@RetroGamerNation Be proud of your talents ... express yourself, to the fullest extent - regardless of the viewing stats. Don't nobble your creativity, by falling into the trap of pandering to the YT algorithm

Sadly, it may be the last rendition of the award ... as Louie's going to re-assess in 2024 whether to continue

Thanks for watching and putting forward your valid point around the naming. I had thought about renaming when I shifted the Award away from being open voting. But I decided to stick with the name as I make sure that the people voting actually play most new releases, are passionate about the current scene and represent a good spread across UK, mainland Europe, North America and Australia. In the end, they are all gamers and the award is not based on one person's opinion. But yes, I do appreciate there are so many more people across the community who play games and I would love to be able to have 100+ people in the panel but last time I made a public call out for people to register their interest to vote...I got nil response :( Let me know if you would fall into the 'gamer' category and would be interested in participating next year (if I run one). Cheers

For a debut game it’s impressive

If it was written in Basic it would run at about 0.2 FPS. I suspect the speed is just a design decision, the speed on ladders is probably limited by how fast they can scroll the screen, but horizontally there are no limiting factors.

@@arlasoft Sluggish performance is rarely a coveted "design decision" ... even if it's been written in assembler, it's apparently been done so poorly and inefficiently
