The time has come to vote upon the various entries in this year's Terrible Games Contest.

Anyone may vote on the games, and may rate each one on a scale of 1 (awful) to 5 (best). What constitutes a bad or good "terrible" game is your decision, as is the nature of the contest. Based on the theme of this contest, you must take into account whether the game's creator successfully met the contest's theme. I will not be checking to see whether your score is an accurate reflection of that, or upon what other criteria you have for voting the way you've chosen. As always, comments on each submission are welcome and ultimately helpful to the contestants. Your score sheet should look something like this:


Surf's Up Yuk by RedMaverick Zero (Imitating Surlaw)- #
Final Fantasi XXX Legaci by Hachi-Roku / Eternal Hachi (Imitating SDHawk) - #
Alexandria by Ronin Catholic (imitating the Danielson Bros) - #
superawesomegameyayz by The_dude257 / Blue Train - (No apparent Imitation) #
Super Walrus House by Surlaw (Imitating JSH) - #


If you fail to vote on any one game, I will assume you DID NOT play it, and accordingly give it an automatic score of 3. If enough people fail to play one particular game, it may quickly rise to the top of the voting and be a declared the winner. Consequently, it is in your own interests to play each game, even if only for a little bit, so you can judge it yourself.

People who are NOT regular OHRRPGCE game creators are free to join AND vote. This means that PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THE INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY ARE FREE TO JOIN IN THE FUN. The only requirement for an "outsider" to vote is that they MUST register an account on any of the previously listed websites (Castle Paradox, Slime Salad, Surlaw Forums).

You may only vote ONCE. Yes, you can vote for your own game. I am also shortening the time allowed to Vite by a week, so that Surlaw will have time to announce a winner for this month's "Hamsterspeak" magazine. As a result, you have until May 8th to vote.

The winner gets $50. So VOTE.

Surf's Up Yuk by RedMaverick Zero (Imitating Surlaw) - 5 : It was really entertaining and did a decent job of imitating Walrus Chef. Good job.

Final Fantasi XXX Legaci by Hachi-Roku / Eternal Hachi (Imitating SDHawk) - 3 : Good imitation, but not a perfect game.

Alexandria by Ronin Catholic (imitating the Danielson Bros) - 2 : Did a
decent (?) job of imitating, but just felt... empty.

superawesomegameyayz by The_dude257 / Blue Train - (No apparent Imitation) - 1 : WTF?

Super Walrus House by Surlaw (Imitating JSH) - 5 : Great job of imitation, makes up for the lesser entertainment being provided.

Super Walrus House - 5
Surf's Up Yuk - 4
Exact same reasons Surlaw gave.

Alexandria - 3.
I think I did a bad job. It really was the work of one afternoon hauling ass lingering on a translation site. I wish I had put forth a little more effort throughout the month of April.

Final Fantasi XXX Legaci - 2.
I've never played the original, so I can't say how good of an immitation this is, but I didn't like it very much. I would have liked it a little more if it wasn't a loop I had to exit with PgUp+PgDn+Esc. Not enough to give it a three, though.

superawesomegameyayz - 1.
I think this is either an attempt at copying Surlaw(in which case it is a horrible attempt) or an attempt at copying a typical newbie game(in which case it's a fine immitation, but needs to be more specific). It doesn't look anything like Surlaw's serious games, and evel less like his joke games. It's like the worst parts of Knight Quest and Magnus had a baby and named it after Surlaw.
