I haven't finished technoshock either due to the insane difficulty, but i do
have to admit it's well put together and complex for an uncommercial game,
which is why I wasn't too surprised to see it in that list.
Beware the Grue!

I was supprised with superdeakout but also with technoshock.
I have never been able to clock that game neither have I superliam.

Appologies to anyone reading the ag.net forum, yes, I'm lazy and
can't be bothered to write the same stuff twice, but would be interested
in discussing things in both places, hence the C&p.
I wasn't overly surprised at some of the games, though I have to
admit Super deakout did rather take me by surprise, and I was mildly
surprised at final conflict. I would've expected a free rpg to be in there
somewhere, something like Logd or Kingdom of loathing, though i
don't know if the fact that bonuses are available in these games inclined
people to think of them as commercial.
Speaking of commercial, I was slightly surprised to see Superliam in
there. It's a very nice game, but I would've thought it could've been
eclipsed by the likes of Rail racer.
I also would've included Shades of doom but not Gma tank commander,
sinse despite it's really nice sfx, it's not really a long game.
I was also mildly disappointed to see that neither Sryth, nor Smugglers 3
made it.
while I can understand Jaws users not voting for smugglers 4, I would've
thought the popularity of S3 would've been noticed.
It does seem to say something for David Greenwood and Gma games though,
that two of his games, produced a while ago now, and one using his
game engin were in the top 5 commercial slots, not to mention Technoshock
which clearly borrows a lot from shades.
Actually, I did wonder if technoshock's difficulty would've put people
off, but evidantly not.
I'd have been interested to see what the other contenders would've been if
it had been 10 games for each catagory instead of five, especially
given that the voting system gave people ten slots to play with.
Hmmm, part of me does also wonder if some games got in there because
people were attempting to think of 10 games for each slot instead of five.
I know I put Gma tank commander and Technoshock in there myself, but
probably wouldn't have if I'd have only been required to vote for 5 games
of each type.
Beware the Grue! (who is most irritated and hungry that nobody voted for
him).
