Saturn Contest: the judges have decided
Finally, the ranking of the entries of the C4-2007 SEGA Saturn Coding Contest has been determined!
It's been a very close run in the end, with Gaganoid (by VBT) and Police Officer Smith (Arnold and Rockin'-B) being draw with 57 points each!!!!! The battle had to be decided via extra points. This time at the beginning of the contest, a list of extra points was written down. Other people's suggestions were also integrated into the list. If an entry implements a feature from this list, it gets rewarded with an extra point.
Personally, I expected Gaganoid to win this year. After summing up the points from our 5 judges, I was very surprised to see the same number of points for both entries. But due to the massive use of high resolution images throughout the whole game, Police Officer Smith C4 wins over his strong competitor Gaganoid by getting 5 extra points in total.
One the other places follow the Dezaemon 2 Save Game Manager (Madroms), Destiny's Kingdom (Amon), Yaul Demo (Piratero) and SEGA Blur (VBT).
Big thanks go out to all contestants and to the judges as well. Now it's time to play these new Saturn homebrew games on your very own SEGA Saturn console!
