I don't like his games all that much, but then again, I don't give out that many annual awards.
BTW: Did you mean Railroad Typoon?
Really, I love your quick reactions to news out there as well as your style, but have a coffee before you post, typing with your eyes closed is not gonna gain you any wards...
I haven't had the chance to try the revamped Pirates! yet, but I put a LOT of hours into the original on the C64, back in the day. Congratulations, Mr. Meier!
