It's that time of the year again. The program of the year awards voting is offically open now. Head over to www.ticalc.org and vote for your favorite 68k POTY! The Z80 voting should be opening shortly after.

Hurray! It's too bad there weren't more programs featured this year. :(

Yeah this is quite sad. There were not a lot of projects in 2007 so the results were lack of entries. I had Metroid II: The Last Chozo, but this was simply a major update of Metroid II: Evolution with more maps and items, nothing more. I also think they were a bit strict on features and not checking the sections often. I had to e-mail them in order to get Nitacku's Bowling noticed. 2009 looks more promising though

indeed, if around the time Omni closed Ultima would have got no progress for several months alerady I would have been pretty worried there, since I didn't really expected Egypt. If the community is to never get more active than right now, I wonder if one day ticalc.org POTY will not become something awarded every 2 years?

I voted Ultima V.  It looks like next year will have more releases (though people usually say that every year).

Yeah true, altough last year, before Omnimaga old forums closed Ultima progress was quasi-non-existent, Halifax was MIA and most other projects didn't seemed to be nearing completion. Maybe some will slow down but I do hope the dozen of amazing projects in the work will not all die completly x.x

Yes, IndestructoTank is pretty sweet (saw it on UTI). And that dungeons and dragons game look cool as hell too!
