    I am very pleased with the 2nd place for LESTER! For me, it is the best game of the year for several reasons... "A Pig Quest" is indeed more beautiful and monumental, but in terms of gameplay, it is much more challenging for me. Congratulations on making it to the top 10! Happy New Year!

    Amazing what people can do on a c64. The games look really fun to play and graphics are even better now.

    I wish someone would/could make an expansion pack for Law of the West. That was one of the most fun games ever made on any system because of the dialog interactions and different ways of scoring points. Eventually, you've tried them all. An expansion pack or construction kit option would have been awesome, especially now in the internet age.

    TY for the content. All of this year's games are good and many are great. Hard to believe all this good content is still being made for our C64 now that it is 41 years old.

    Lol when you compare SNK vs Capcom to the Street Fighter II port that came out back in the day it's unreal to see what this computer is truly capable of. Long may this continue!

    Thank you for including me in the voting pool, Louie... That being said, I demand a recount! Lester is SOOOO good. However, A Pig Quest is one heck of a game as well. Congratulations to Mr. Savona and the Piggy 18 Team.
    Looking forward to 2024!

    Sorry I didn't participate in the voting this year man, I only played 3 out of the nominated games and I felt it wouldn't have been fair of me to quickly check the rest out and play them briefly. I'm patiently waiting for the physical Pig Quest and I want my first experience with the game to be with the physical cart :)
    AWESOME video as always.
    I personally really really loved Lester, Zeta Wing 2 and the Ooze this year.

    Top list, and the fact there's zero filler tells us there's lots more outside that top 10 that might be worth a look too.
    Thanks!

    Louie, so happy you did the GC awards after all. I'm going to sorely miss your content, even this vid could've been a tad longer ... to have a little more of your no-nonsense commentary, upon each top tenner - and to hear your take on the honourable mentions. Of course, we need to appreciate what we have ... so thanks heartily, for your efforts

    • @RetroGamerNation

      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 :)

    Amazing games this year! Thanks for the great content. This award should be renamed though as your selected panel of judges are mostly content creators and not representative of retro gamers at large.

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

    • @RetroGamerNation
      @RetroGamerNation  7 місяців тому +1

      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

    Deathflood could've been a masterpiece, if not for the slowness. Was it written in basic - if so, an assembler rewrite is in order. Or perhaps port it to an 8-bit platform with a faster cpu, such as mega 65

      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.
