Pixelboy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Warning: This thread is just for entertainement purposes, a fun discussion about what might be. Every once in a while, someone peddles a request on these boards for a homebrew version of Smurf Super Game, which was rumored to be in the works for the ColecoVision Super Game Module. As far as I know, no real screenshot of this game ever surfaced, let alone a prototype. Assuming the game would be an upgraded version of the existing Smurf cart on ColecoVision, how would you envision Smurf Super Game? New levels? Less linear than the original cart version, perhaps? New gameplay features? Go ahead and post your ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm guessing it would be like the Zaxxon or DK Super Game. More levels, more obstacles, a high score table, etc. I doubt they'd create new gameplay for it. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledown Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I agree that it would have been similar as far as its one direction linear game play, but probably would have had a few extra different screens, maybe a more animated end of level display and the likes. It would have been great if, instead of the aforementioned, it was made more like Montezuma's Revenge, Pitfall, or Pitfall II. Games like this are a bit more challenging than "press the joystick right, and jump occasionally!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroillucid Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 There's screenshots floating around back in time, You can see a Smurf walking in a snowy environment Funny you talk about this one, since I already begin graphic works for Super Smurf Here's 3 screens coming from an old mag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Actually I'm working on 3 Super Game, mainly: - Super Smurf - Super Turbo - Super Gorf I've screenshots for those 3 games, I plan to make them on MegaCart. Super Gorf is the one I want to make first, I think the CV version could have been better (even if it's a great game already) I might think the Speech Voices can be put in the ColecoVision version Also, Super Turbo looks incredible! ... I made very preliminary graphics works on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Okay, I guess now would be a good time to voice my own comments. I think there's an opportunity there to do something that's more interesting than just a glorified obstacle course. I like the original "Rescue in Gargamel's Castle" game, but I was never a big fan of it, like certain others seem to be. If it was up to me, I would steer Smurfs Super Game into the general direction of a simplified Metroid-style game, with multiple paths branching out into a maze of levels and sub-levels, with items to find and use, minor side quests involving encounters with other Smurfs, and perhaps even randomized gameplay elements (stuff that changes from one game session to the next) to extend the replay value of the game. Ideally, Gargamel's castle would be the last area to visit, after you've gathered all you need from the neighboring forest and cave levels. I think a game like that would be the best use of the Smurf franchise on the ColecoVision, assuming cartridges with more than 32K of ROM space would be used.

Mr. John ColecoVision Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'll would like to see a new Super Smurf game.I would buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just make sure running into tufts of grass doesn't "kill" you. More variety would be good, and the ability to use the fire button to jump, if no other actions are required. Thanks, 5-11under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine elite Smurf Death Squads visiting their Smurfy wrath upon the countryside. I see an endless landscape of mushroom houses, belching fire into the air as Brainy and Painter smurfs are rounded up for summary Smurf-icution. In the swirling chaos, vast armies of little blue communists are torn asunder at the whim of their Marxist, red-hatted commandantes, until the whole forest is awash in a sea of turquoise blood. The horror... The horror... Edited August 5, 2009 by jrok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Funny, I see Papa Smurf as a sort of high priest/Christ-type figure whose red clothing symbolizes a blood sacrifice needed for atonement while the other Smurfs wear white as a symbol of purity. But enough of that. I would have to say that I would envision such a game to have varying environments to travel through, and possibly Gargamel at the end of the level to defeat in some manner.

King_Salamon Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A Super Smurf game sounds just Smurfy to me! Perhaps Pixelboy is onto something... making it a Metroid lite style of play.. with items to find etc. Now, Retroillucid... when is that site opening up? Looking forward to checking it out!
