I was looking through the list of games trying to decide where to cut things off for the awards posts. My original thought was to do something close to every month. Which means June 1986 (the month we just finished) would have had ½ of its games getting some sort of award. It also meant that everything in October and November would get an award one way or another. Most importantly, it meant that Gradius in December would get all 4. That’s just not a good system.
Since I don’t have real release dates I can’t really go every X number of games without some kind of safety net. So unless there are any objections, I’ll be doing awards every roughly 20 games or so. That number isn’t exact because when I get to 20 games I’m going to finish the month and start over in counting when the next month begins.
Of course it would work out that after March of 1987 it would be exactly 20 games since the last set of awards. That’s just how things work out I guess.
