Lord-Chaos Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 This is one of my favourite VCS 2600 or ATARI 8 Bit games. Did Activision ever remake this game for a modern system ? A GBA version with lots of levels would be great. Maybe something for XBOX,PS2 or GC , too , but I don´t like 3D versions of classic 2D games.

joeybastard Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I would love to see an updating to HERO but I definetely would want it to remain 2D. They could add stuff like power ups to the laser, more powerful dynamite, etc. Let's hope somebody from Activision sees this thread! And hide the original 5200 or 2600 version in it too!

Yes - or maybe we should write to Activision and ask for it. I sell games on ebay and H.E.R.O. is a game that always gets lots of bids , even used ones without box/manual. People like this game and I´m sure that they could sell thousands of GBA H.E.R.O. games. Thimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Thompson Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Yes... I must agree... out of the 500+ 2600 games out of my 2600 collection, H.E.R.O. is one I seem to play most! Fun fun game! There should be an updated one !!! It's a must!! Clint Thompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoOchan! Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I prefer the Sega SG-1000 Version of this, has the best graphics out of them all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaveng Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I think H.E.R.O. could be made 3D. It could follow the same cave theme as Metroid, except that you'd be able to fly up and down too. The problem with H.E.R.O. is that the game is based upon a very short timer. I doubt modern gamers would accept that, because modern gamers like to explore without time constraint.

joeybastard Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Oh I'm sure a 3D version could be done ala the excellent Metroid Prime, I would just rather it stick to 2D ala the also excellent Metroid Fusion. As for modern gamers not liking a timed event, they probably haven't played a game like that so it's hard to say whether they would or not. Part of HERO is the time element, aftert all those guys will suffocate if you're not quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 There was an update on the C64 in the mid 90s called "Dark Caves" but that's the only modern version I know of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaveng Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 As for modern gamers not liking a timed event, they probably haven't played a game like that so it's hard to say whether they would or not Zelda: Mask of Majora had a timer (40 minutes I think?), and about half the modern gamers didn't like that time constraint.
