can we seperate racing and general sports games? they are a genre on their own
i think we should have a homebrew award or a community award that can include romhacks etc
we could possibly have awards for different users as well, for things like best collection, best technical knowledge and other elements of contribution to all things master system
and how about winner and 2 or 3 special mentions
example: racing category winner- micro machines special mentions- rc grand prix, world grand prix, f1

We have a limit of 10 awards, so if I put racing as separate it means we have to dump an award/category, so can't really do that.

Suggested a few changes, mostly bolstering the adventure section with some of the more borderline games. Suggestions are highlighted in bold Added Digger Chan. Attachments:SMS GAMES-changed.xlsx (15.9 KB)

On racing vs sports - gameplay varies drastically between different sports games as well, so you get into having football games as a separate genre and so on. I think racing fits nicely because most of them are motorsport simulation or arcade-style racers where you still have winners, points etc.. It's only Chase HQ and SCI that are a stretch.
Plus racing/driving on its own wouldn't have many entries if you split them out.

In practice is equal.

fair enough.
what do you think of the community awards?
i was thinking of the following categories: best collection best technical knowledge best contribution to sms community best event (either sms based or featuring sms), must be within 12 months

Noticed that I can insert attachments even xls files, so I'll upload the excel file with all the games in categories. Remember, this is NOT the voting ballot, just a draft of the games in categories for feedback purposes. Comment if you feel certain games don't belong in a certain category, did my best to fit them in one of the above 6, wasn't easy in alot of cases. Edit: hmm, speaking of homebrew games, haven't added any specific ones on here. Should probably add some. Especially Digger Chan. Edit 2: And if people are wondering, used the game database on SMS Power which includes unlicensed Korean games as well which could explain some weird titles. Thought it wouldn't hurt to have more games in there. I'm happy with that list. Thanks for the hard work! I also kind of feel that driving/racing games should be separated from sports though. Also, I'm not sure a best overall game category is needed as it's been covered in the Top 100 and the Games Tournament. If you want to keep though it's fine, we can go to 11 categories if needed. I'm happy for Korean and other obscure games to be included for completions sake. It's not like they're going to win anything anyway!

In my point view, Digger Chan is homebrew. I would put Digger Chan, Korean and others in "Misc" category.

Huge thanks! fair enough. what do you think of the community awards? i was thinking of the following categories: best collection best technical knowledge best contribution to sms community best event (either sms based or featuring sms), must be within 12 months That could be interesting, but I think that would fit better in a later or separate awards for two different reasons, first the practical time reason where I don't have the information to do justice to those categories. Thus needing to create contribution threads for possible candidates. Seeing as I want to have the ballot up and ready in just a couple days that wouldn't work. The second reason is that I think we should keep this one game specific to make it more "time-less" and fitting in with the top 100 and tournament parts of the website. Plus, game specific works best with the presentation plan Ian has in mind for the awards. When you will see the end results, I think you will agree You will though get your wish with a Driving/Racing specific category
