pedgarcia Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I have played them all to record a video on the website channel. It is a solid contest for sure with very different games. Some simpler than others, but there is no lack of creativity for sure! I think Last Squadron is the best. Oxygen is also very good, but with some gameplay flaws (maybe I am just bad at it). The Lady is a simple fun game, and gets extra points for the graphics - they are gorgeous! I found the Tree simulator entertaining and Disc o' Pop is the one I played the most - something with the physics and how the discs break that kept me hooked! Agent B.R.D looks great but my zero knowledge of German doesn't help me to enjoy the game. I've played a little pausing the emulator to translate things, but as you can imagine, that is not the best way to enjoy a game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/304677-abbuc-software-competition-2020/page/4/#findComment-4671436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your subscription expiry date is printed on the label of your magazine along with your membership number. Look at the date on the last issue you got. I've had mine in midwest usa for a week or more.

slx Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all the programmers and the ABBUC officers who organized it and made the superb contest booklet. I tried to play all the games at least once and there are many great ideas and designs. I have to admit I must have played about 5 hours of "just one more game" of Disc O' Pop. The Last Squadron is absolutely commercial grade quality and would have put a lot of 80's shooters to shame. I'd need a "super easy" option to get far... Dr. Sparkz and Detonationix would be even better with a bit less twitchier controls. I think a short delay after every move would make them a lot more playable. I loved the absolutely "Flagging Flamingos" and "The Lady" graphics although there could be more gameplay there. Go Lucky looks great as well, but I'm not much of a Monopoly fan. 5 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/304677-abbuc-software-competition-2020/page/4/#findComment-4677204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
