Montezuma's revenge

Mr. Celery!

If you're up for a port, there are gazillions of threads in the Intellivision section which games people would like to play, ranging from the major hits available on nearly every other platform and which would require licensing if you would make a perfect replica to be sold under the original title, to obscure games barely anyone has heard about but that can be great fun once you get to play them.

 

Or do your own thing and come up with mostly unique games not really like anything seen before. Those take a longer thought process to get the objective and gameplay right, but you have nothing previous to compare to which opens more of your imagination. I like the idea of combining two random genres if possible. Perhaps some resource management game with action elements?

If you make games for free and we can play it on emulators or intellivision using flash carts, it's fine.

 

Most of times, original owners won't care.

 

There're so many Pac-Man games on the internet we can play it for free.

 

But if you plan to sell your games, carlsson's right. You need licenses to publish copyrighted games.

Actually Rev posted a list of 10 loose game ideas that neither were supposedly based on existing games. In the same thread you have dozens and dozens more suggestions on ports, so plenty to consider.

I liked where Frank the Fruit Fly was headed. I thought your cat was very stylized and fun. Maybe you just need some time away from the project for awhile and then return to it when you regain interest.
