emkay Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 http://www.protovision-online.de/games/d/newcomer.htm What a great effort on the C64. This time I'm not suggesting a remake or else. But, have a look at it.... SUCH games are simply not done on the A8 and could easily be there... G2F images are no handycap and even standard "Hardsynth" routines could give the right ambient. Making an adventure game with a good story and using the upper limits in graphics and sound on the A8. I guess, it ever will be unreal...

Rybags Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Looks like they're selling it commercially? Be nice if there were some videos of it, or a cut-down demo at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanallan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 that's pretty nice. I'd love to play it on the 800. Or even the ST. 14 disks, though... that's a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun.Bebbington Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Looks like they're selling it commercially? Be nice if there were some videos of it, or a cut-down demo at least. This game is 15 disk sides; a cut down demo won't be very much at all Regards, Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oswald Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 SUCH games are simply not done on the A8 and could easily be there... this game has been developed for like ~10 years. not non stop, and not without some years doing nothing. but it has seen shitloads of work. there's a HDD version for c64 aswell. dont be fooled its not just the graphics you see. the story itself is very complex and very long aswell. you have many routes to solve things, you have conversations zillions of npcs, team members, items, wallsets... the homepage of the game seems to be down, already the screenshots are tiresome to watch through of all the gfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allas Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Is there any portal where I can find later C64 software. Webs like www.c64.com, www.lemon64.com doesn't have later production from above 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Is there any portal where I can find later C64 software. Webs like www.c64.com, www.lemon64.com doesn't have later production from above 3 years. That'll be Gamebase64 - they only have the previous Enhanced Newcomer in the database and it's not available for download because Protovision have the rights, but just about everything else is usually in there or added in the next update (my own Kikstart C16 isn't yet, f'example).

Cybergoth Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Is there any portal where I can find later C64 software. Webs like www.c64.com, www.lemon64.com doesn't have later production from above 3 years. There aren't that many outstanding titles. Besides Newcomer, the "Metal Warrior" series and "Turrican 3" are the major releases of the past decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Cybergoth....Is C64 Turrican 3 anything like the amiga version (gameplay/level wise)...I ask as i've never seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Cybergoth....Is C64 Turrican 3 anything like the amiga version (gameplay/level wise)...I ask as i've never seen it AFAIR is it a "new" game, no port of the Miggy version. You can download it from Lemon64 and other sources to check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Cybergoth....Is C64 Turrican 3 anything like the amiga version (gameplay/level wise)...I ask as i've never seen it Thankfully, it's a completely different game (Turrican 3 on the Amiga is widely recognised as "not much cop compared to the other two") and Manfred Trenz "signed off" on the thing since he works with AEG/Smash. It's unfortunately a bit buggy, but OSG gave it an 8 and it would've got a 9 or possibly a 10 otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
