Tough one.

I'm going to have to go with Revolver. I showed it at the Midwest Gaming Classic last year, and it got quite a bit of an audience.

It's really a great game.

[Darksaviour69]

yeah it is a Toughie, but i think will go with Joggle just because it is a great idea and is nice and polished, but Alice, DCastle fighting for second and Revolver 3rd for me...

btw if there any other games that should be on the list of contenders, please do tell

I added Tetris 2, DCSquares and Battery to the list. I wasn't sure if I should add DCPacMan3D to the list or not (since, technically, I suppose it's a port).

I am reserving my vote for a later date. I have to think about this for a while.

[Darksaviour69]

teris 2 is already on the list, the 2nd one ;D

i guess that dcsquares was released at the same time as the p.c and mac version so it not a "port", i excluded DCPacMan3D because it was a port

[GPF]

you forgot John Szczepaniak's and mine's "Trampalien Gunmen DC" which is not a port, but a clone.

Which I will put my vote for.

I don't know how I missed that. I looked at the list probably five times before adding anything, to try to make sure I didn't duplicate anything.

I figured DCPacMan3D would be excluded.

[Darksaviour69]

So the votes are:
Revolver : 1
Trampalien Gunmen DC: 1
Joggle:1

Total votes:3

also the closing date will be the end of the month, just like the emu of the year topic

Daggone this is a tough one. I suppose I'll give my vote to Bugs. I am such a big fan of classic space arcade games (like Galaga, Space Invaders, etc.) that I will have to vote for that one. I must note, though, that I thoroughly enjoyed playing Tetris 2, DCSquares, Joggle, AAC and a few others.

A really tough one ;D

Noiz2SA by Chui is one of my absolute favorites - A hombrewn REZ. Now if it would run better on the later stages ...but it's a port, right!?

Revolver is just incredible revolutionary with that light gun game play and the superb gfx. Here comes Warmtoe into mind with his wonderful contributions to the scene... Isn't he the one that developed the light gun code? Damn thanks to all of you code wizards out there - you're doin an amazing job there

Melchior, DCSquares and Tetris2 are the ones I played the most 8) ...And the others Im playing more and more these days. Theyre great Can't wait for a final version of Alice Dreams, Giana's Return and DCastle of course.

My vote however, goes out to L@Cible with his unbelievable 2 player car racing game DCSTUNT - it's still in an early stage but once it's more advanced it'll be the best hombrewn racing game ever made. Im sure bout that!
