SmashDC wasn't that good. To beat the whole game you have to go through every room and kill every enemy. There's only 2 powerups and one stage. All it is, is a port of an Arcade game.

Echo's Quest is my favourite.

The homebrew games are available in the links on the main page. Other sites such as ConsoleVision and Boob also carry them.

Echo's Quest

Reason(s): because it is bloody great. Nuff said.

Smash DC was a close 2nd too.

but..... its not a port, its a clone.... a port makes it sound like less work than it was, because you already have someone elses work (source) to work on, rather than designing the whole thing from scratch to play like something else.

For the record, DCQuad is probably my fave so far...

you, uh, didn't try SmashDC yet did you? If you have 4 controllers and people attached to them, you *really* should...

Personally I feel there are no good homemade games for DC right now.
If I had to pic one I think Rocket Racer could turn into a good FZERO clone once its finshed.
DNR the current kickass dc programer. Thanks
for the emulator I've been waiting 2 years for.

Thanks to Reaper2k2 also for showing interest into WSC emulation.

O Siggy yours was still the best but I'm waiting for you to make a action rpg. Your a great programer. Alote of you are all great programer it just you never quite take your games to a full quality game standard.

First off, go to **** Clessoulis... If you ever decide to get off your ass and actually write something as opposed to coming up with idea after idea that gets nowhere beyond "Hey, I need a coder..." then you *might* have room to say something.

On a lighter note regarding a game that does truly suck, how in god's name is tic-tac-toe 9th in the list?!? (before anyone says anything, I wrote it... I can say it sucks... ;) )
