Boray's Vic-20 game awards of 2014
This is a way for me to say thanks for the best new free games of 2014 that I've enjoyed the most. If your game isn't on the list, then don't feel bad, this award is highly objective and based on my own likings only. To find the games, look in the 2014 releases thread: http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bul ... =15&t=6793
The number one Vic-20 game programmer of 2014 is:
#1 Misfit - For the games Bertie the Ball, Super Starship Space Attack (and ViccyBird). These two games (Bertie the Ball, Super Starship Space Attack) are truly awesome and would easily have been top selling games if released in 1981/1982. I would think most active Vic-20 users probably agree with me on this.
Second place:
#2 Pixel - For the game Pulse. This is Skramble on steroids. This is definitely a gear up in the genre. There are still a few glitches seen in the screen sometimes though. And the game is a bit too easy. But on the whole - very impressive!
Third place:
#3 Beamrider - For the game Tank Battalion. It's a nice game, and it makes good use of the big PAL screen.
Fourth place:
#4 Peter van der Woude - For the game Get the Cat. There has been other more technically advanced games released in 2014, but I like this game better. It has a good game idea, a nice retro feeling and plays well.
Congratulations on your great games!
And there is a prize for you too (of course). As a thanks, you will all four get a free download of my latest music album (priced $12):

You will get a special download link by PM.
Thanks!
