#BGE2020 - December Nominations

Post by This Old Neon »

Here is December's open nominations thread. Every game that has ever participated in one of our "BEST GAME EVER!!!" Project events will be represented in the #BGE2020 Project. Of course, there are many other games that didn't make the cut, whether because of bad timing or bad memories. Remedy that here.

Here is a list of every game that has ever been nominated for the "BEST GAME EVER!!!" Project:

#BGE2020 Master List

Please double-check that list (find/search) for the title you're thinking of nominating, and if it's not there, then name it in this thread. It'll get seeded into the round robin draws.

Nominate as many as you want, but please check the main list first to save our poor admins some time. :neon:

Demons to Diamonds (Atari 2600)

Fun fact from my Art of Atari book - this game was originally called Hot Rox
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Are the Kiwamis different enough to be separate entries from the original Yak versions?

I would say the lack of a dreadful english dub is enough absolutely lol.

But I mean other than that, they are total graphical overhauls (not just resolution bumped ports), run on a different combat engine, soundtracks are redone, additional story is added to both (cutscenes in the first, a whole 2-3 hrs of playable content as another protag in the 2nd), etc. I'd argue yes they're different enough even though I am usually conservative in this regard.

Phoenix (Atari 2600)

Bear with me - am reading an Atari book but it's reminding me of some really good ones.
