      SketchFighter 4000 Alpha: ; $19, Ambrosia Software

      What It Is: Hearken back to those idle school days, when you spent idle moments in class scribbling drawings in your notebook. That’s the inspiration for SketchFighter 4000 Alpha, a shoot-’em-up game that uses that hand-drawn look for some crazy, crazy fun.

      What Makes It a Hall of Famer: The charmingly unsophisticated graphics might fool you into thinking there’s not much to SketchFighter 4000 Alpha other than blasting your way past other spaceships. But it also offers phenomenally fun cooperative and competitive multiplayer gaming with a built-in game finder and the ability to share your scores with other players online. And if the whole pen-and-paper look isn’t do-it-yourself enough, SketchFighter even includes a level editor that lets you create your own missions. At $19, this game is a steal—download it now and relive the good old days of middle school without the threat of detention or getting stuffed into your locker.

      I was a huge fan of this game from the moment I was shown it, and "tested" the game as often as I could. The graphics, the game play, and the novel way it was handle made this one of my favorite games of the past year. I'm very pleased to see that MacWorld also had taken notice of this unique game.

    • Yay! 🙂

      It was great being part of the beta testing team for this. Quite the game.
