So homebrew fans what has been your favourite homebrew game released this year?

For me it's Impulse X on the Jaguar, I have been playing it regularly since I bought it!

Special mentions for Tube: SE (also Jaguar) and Zaku on the Lynx as I didn't play it until it was re-released earlier this year.

Well, technically it's an independant commercial game and not a homebrew, but since RVG doesn't split hairs about definitions I have to say Gunlord for Dreamcast.

Really an excellent game, a great homage to Turrican, and better designed overall than its famous role model imo.


Also there is Digger Chan for the Master System; it's a quirky little game, and the first real cartridge release of a homebrew on the system, which makes it special. I definitely hope for more homebrews on this great console in the future.

Yeah I really liked Gunlord too, I knew there was a Dreamcast game I was forgetting!!!

Shadowrunner

Impulse X for me too. Still playing it a lot. Also agree Gunlord was very good.

Well, there are several that come to mind but let me list a couple by system:

Atari 2600 - Boulder Dash

Atari Jaguar - Impulse X

Vectrex - Vector Pilot

does Gunlord on the Dreamcast count? if so that's my pick, EXCELLENT game with brilliant production values for a homebrew/indie title
