    Thanks for all C64 gamers who participated in the poll. Just want to clarify that nominees that did not finish in the top 10 are listed in alphabetical order, not the order in which they finished.

      If i was up for the challenge, I could have picked 30 great titles, that is how great the 2018 scene has been. Nostalgia is great, but I want new games for the C64 for the next 20 years!!

    • @RetroGamerNation

      Don't forget the Ultimate 64 and also the full size TheC64 hopefully coming out in 2019.

      ​@Dave's Retro Desktop wow i have been out of the loop so long ... I never knew about any of this stuff!!!!! I started using A C64 in 1985? IS CMD type HARDWARE STILL AVAILABLE? what about the AMIGA? And is JIFFY DOS 6.0+?? still relevant? I saw The Bard's Tale 1-3 recently got REMASTERED on Steam lately! in 2018 for PC!!!!

    Can't believe Pains & Aches didn't make it to the top 5! Proper quality production through and trough, not to mention the amazing graphics by one of the scene's finest.

      It suprised me as well. It may well be that it didn't appear to be accessible as the other titles and that only those who were able to get through the initial 15 minutes would appreciate what it offered.

    Great initiative, the C64 scene really deserves contests like this.
    Unfortunately one of my favorite, Retream's MAH, didn't made to the top three. I consider it a masterpiece in originality, creativity and atmosphere. It's definitely not a casual game as a game last up to 90 minutes, and also replayability may be not ideal unless player seeks an higher score but it's one of the most innovative and well crafted games of the year.
    Well, I guess everyone has its own favorite and wanted it to reach an higher position :-)

    • @RetroGamerNation
      @RetroGamerNation  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      MAH was/is a lot of fun for me. So original and when you understand what is going on, so good. I like to go back to it every 4 months when I want a break from platform games

      I like it for everything bar the gameplay...it's just so esoteric.

  • @stoicvampirepig6063
    @stoicvampirepig6063 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I bought most of these...I love my C64 and I love getting new games for her.
    My favourites were of course Sam's Journey at 1...Steel Ranger at two and Rocky Memphis at three.

    • @RetroGamerNation
      @RetroGamerNation  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is great to hear from others who can appreciate the additional joy the C64 can bring through new releases rather than just look back at nostalgia. No doubt if SJ was released one week later then it would easily have taken the 2018 award.

      I need to take out Rocky Memphis and replace it with Aviator Arcade...I just got it today and it is absolutely fantastic, as close to Raiden as the C64 can likely get.

    • @RetroGamerNation
      @RetroGamerNation  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      AA2 is certainly a very good game. I enjoyed that they put a story narrative through the game. Even though I had access to a pre-release version of AA2, I just had to order the physical edition from RGCD.

      Thanks for participating. It was a lot of fun to put this together but running public polls is hard work if you want to ensure some sense of validity with the final results. I'm glad they only happen once a year!

    I saw a 2018 game for the ZX Spectrum the other week called Mr Kung Fu. It looked amazing for a Spectrum game. Probably the best looking version of Kung Fu Master I've seen after the arcade one. The kung-fu master sprite in the game looks very much like the arcade version sprite. Obviously the colours were very different. Cool game, who ever made it did an awesome job.

    I got Portal (mid 80s) from Activision, one of the best C64 games ever.

    • @RetroGamerNation
      @RetroGamerNation  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Looks similar (in game play style) to Alter Ego, which I really enjoy. I will definitely need to give Portal a try

  • @nicolazunino7331

    Another great year for our C=64. However my personal chart is:
    1-The Legend of Atlantis
    2-Portal
    3-Sidney Hunter

    • @RetroGamerNation

      Nice top 3, sydney hunter is one that has grown on me over time and I would also be inclined to put it in as a top 3 behind Atlantis and Steel Ranger

    While I like the idea of those avards - wouldn't it be better to have somekind of "Deadline" so that for example the December releases would have counted for 2019? Otherwise great games shown, some I didn't heard of yet. Thank you for your work.

    • @RetroGamerNation
      @RetroGamerNation  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I thought about this but ultimately it would be more time consuming to try and explain to everyone that the 2019 Awards start from (let's say) December 1 2018 and at the same time, the likes of Aviator Arcade II and Space Moguls would benefit for the promotion now, not in 12 months...for me I do this to promote the product, not myself.

    • @RetroGamerNation
      @RetroGamerNation  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Metagalactic Llama Sam's Journey would definitely have won the poll if it was included. Especially since majority of the people would have not played it until 2018 ticked over.
