Atari Dogs Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Remember when someone was working on Utopia? I would have bought that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Remember when someone was working on Utopia? I would have bought that. So, what up with 5200 homebrew projects I would think that there be new games coming out left and right for it by now. Can you tell me more about Utopia?

+Cafeman Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 What kind of genre of game would you think would make a good new 5200 game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 What kind of genre of game would you think would make a good new 5200 game? Hmmm, anything original a RPG, fast paced 2D shooter or a Peggle like game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than it has been a dead project for years, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I started working on a homebrew last year - it was sort of a high fantasy-themed Robotron-esque action game. I got as far as moving my player sprites around the screen and some basic debug code, but that's it. There just aren't enough hours in the day. Maybe when I retire (or if I win the Lotto) I'll pick it back up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Curious timing, this post. I had just found a few pictures of 5200 ideas I'd messed with. Well, since you asked, here are two little ideas I started but didn't finish.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchman2000 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Zookeeper I second that. Zookeeper would rock on the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 What about a port of Tron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 LOL theres a lot of unfinished projects, Cafeman it looks good so far are you going to finish this project? A port of Tron would be awesome and some ColecoVision Classic would awesome too like Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle and Time Pilot.

+Allan Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 My first thought after looking at the two screenshots on the left is a Children of the Corn adventure/horror game. Nice graphics. I hope to see you do another 5200 game someday. It would be a shame to waste all that knowledge you gained from doing Adventure 2.

+Cafeman Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I think it was Icbrkr who was working on Utopia - that was a few years back though. Seems like just yesterday, don't it? more pics of unfinished ideas: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 My first thought after looking at the two screenshots on the left is a Children of the Corn adventure/horror game. Allan LOL! The pic was actually my idea of a "swordquest airworld" platform/adventure game. You can walk on the clouds, climb the ladders. You'd have an inventory. I had a story written - a hero rides a flying beast out of his village and into the sky, to find a floating palace/world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that was when I asked you about using the Adventure 2 engine for Airworld. Probably would have worked very well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckirkman Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I need a new game for the 5200! I think I have them all including homebrews, protos conversions except Iratas Quest. Cafeman (or anyone else) if you make a new game, I will buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 No promises from me! but what kind of game are you interested in? old coin-op port, new homebrew action or adventure or platformer or shooter, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 No promises from me! but what kind of game are you interested in? old coin-op port, new homebrew action or adventure or platformer or shooter, etc? Can you get Crystle Castles to work with the trackball? Otherwise I vote for a Galaga port. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjb Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I plan on finishing my Rasteroids homebrew soon. I'd like to do a Rampart type game for the 5200. tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed when you stopped. You need to show people that Asteroids.... I mean Rasteroids can be a great game on the 5200. (Yea I know about Meteorites, it's OK.)

walter_J64bit Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 I can't wait to some more new games for the 5200! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scihorror Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Speaking about new games, are there any updates on Tempest or Cloak & Dagger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
