Unbelievable - December already!  This month, a random game from the wonderful Amiga Game Selector - Future Tank!  Good luck!

New to GOTHEM - One game to rule them all!  No more OCS/ECS/AGA mixup - just play on any Amiga or emulator!  Have fun!  This month, Sneech!  No idea what this is but came up in a random Amiga search.  Enjoy!

Game of the Month - Rules and Participation
« on: October 10, 2024, 06:24:12 pm »
The ARBF Game of the Month (GOTHEM) is really just an excuse to focus on a great Amiga game for a month!  Here are some points to be aware of before participating:
  • Games will be selected by ARBF Administrators.
  • If you have a favourite game you wish to be added to a GOTHEM, let us know by posting a reply to the 'Game Requests' forum topic!
  • Real Amigas are preferred, but Emulators are also allowed (after all it is all about the games!).  If you are using an emulator (or a real Amiga) you must not use cheats, save states, rewinds, fast forwarding, or any other advantage made available by the emulator that is not a built in feature of the game being played.  Let's just all play fair.
  • Submissions should be made directly to the GOTHEM forum post, or as an email (see below), as the user submitting the score. Include your score in your post.  Include a screenshot (note there are image size limitations on the forum posts - so if you are not sure how to resize, send your hiscore as an email (see below)).  Your submission should also include verification of any per-game rules (eg Single Player, XYZ mode), and the Amiga (or Emulator) model, and operating system.  Examples could be Amiga 1200/WB3.1.4, OR Raspberry Pi/Amiberry 3.0.11.
  • At the end of each month, the top 3 high-scorers, and/or the top 3 reviews, will get a special mention, and the TOP scorer will receive a special BADGE!
  • Using cheats is not allowed.  Cheats (in game codes, cracks, or though WHDLoad) are unfair to others that do not use them.  We will not know if you have used a cheat, so this is really an honesty system here.  Let's play fair!
  • High scores should be captured as a screenshot or photo, and game reviews supplied in plain text and emailed to gothem@amigaretro.com after midnight on the 1st of the month and before midnight on the last day of the month to be eligible!
DISCLAIMER: Game rom files and WHDLoad installations may be used if they are a backup of a legally owned version of that game.  While emulation itself is a completely legal way to play games, and emulators are a vital (often open-source and volunteer-produced) aspect of the ongoing conservation of aging games - software piracy is illegal in Australia, and some other countries. Therefore, we here at Amiga Retro Brisbane DO NOT condone piracy in any way.
