The Top 30, Summer 2008

I'm pretty proud of the first and last parts of it, but everything in between is pretty awful. If the game was just the first chapter it would be good.

Just a friendly reminder: Voting closes on the 21st, 6 days from now.

We've got a full top 30 again this time! Keep up the votes, people.

Final reminder: Voting closes on the 21st. (Might allow a 24 hour extension, but only on request)

Funny how OHR-Date can fall from grace. That game needs a remake made by an artist.

And I may vote if I find time, and if I do I'll vote tomorrow.

1. Sword of Jade

3. Purgatory
4. Missing
5. Boundless Ocean
6. Darkmoor Dungeon
7. Vikings of Midgard

(Yeah, the last two are mine, but I think they're pretty good, so there you go)

I'm still at school, so hopefully they're still there when I get home.

Moogle1: I'm willing to extend the deadline until tomorrow afternoon if necessary. (I'm in EST) There's been a rather large number of votes today, so I might hold off until then in any case since people seem to be cramming.

If anyone needs more time to make comments/come up with a full list within the next day or so, it's no problem. I'm going to start making the page tonight, but it will be editable. This weekend, though, I want to be done with it.

I wonder how many people were thinking of Moogle's game when they voted for Vampire's Curse, not realizing that's the name of one of my games?

So far, Vampire's Curse has been voted twice, and so has Curse of Vampire, so it's hard to say, isn't it? TMC at least knew what he was voting for.

Only Vampire's Curse was a contest game.

Um, I'll need to double check the Curse of Vampire/Vampire's Curse thing when I get home. I'm pretty sure VC is fairly high on the list, but maybe I messed up somewhere.

Okay here goes

1 Darkmoor Dungeon
I can't really explain my love affair with this game. Playing FF4DS reminded me of this game in all the right ways, though.

2 Sword of Jade
Still the most professional OHR game. It could really use an update, though.

3 Missing
Another highly polished game. The attic door is one of the scarier bits in any OHR game.

4 Query Part I: Who Am I?
This undoubtedly won't make the top 30, but someday Hachi will get around to his video review of it, and hopefully then people will play it and realize that this is exactly the kind of game the OHRRPGCE was meant for.

5 Surlaw Armageddon
So freaky. Still being worked on. Hooray.

6 Escape from Darkavern
Fantastic. Twin needs to get off his butt and expand this.

7 OHR House 3
This is the first time an OHR House has made it on my tops list. This season has already surpassed the others. I can't wait to see what JSH will come up with next.

8 OHR House Heroes
Nearly as entertaining is RMZ's surprisingly-good knockoff. I'm rooting for Rancher Sam.

9 Timpoline
I'm kind of struggling for games here, but man do I still love this game. I'm going to finish it sometime, I swear. I have five more levels sitting on my computer and the level-skip feature.

10 Super Walrus Chef
The gameplay is so-so, but the humor makes the experience more than worthwhile.

Contest games ahoy!

1 Darkmoor Dungeon
Well, I can't exactly give it the #1 spot up there and not down here, can I? The game has seen a few revisions since its contest release, but even the original version was impressive.

2 Thanksgiving Quest
I loved this game even before I realized you could double up on the Fuhrer Rage and such. The graphics are silly and the plot is paper-thin, but the game is just so well done.

3 Super Concentration Headache Battle Warrior
I have to go back and forth between these two. Battle Warrior had somewhat poorer execution (no one ever got a #1 rank on it) and Master Pro was the only OHR game ever conceived on a toilet seat to my knowledge, but in the end, I'll give it to Battle Warrior just because I love the presentation. COMRADE BOMB

4 Airship 2600
When you said "this list," you meant the top 30, right? Right.

Ok, VOTING IS CLOSED NOW.

The list will be done whenever I finish it!
