electricmastro Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Was interested in seeing what games were all released on the Amiga, Apple II, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum out of curiosity, and I think this is all of them: Archon II: Adept Arkanoid Bad Dudes Batman: The Caped Crusader Bubble Bobble California Games Commando Death Sword Elite The Games: Winter Edition Hacker Ikari Warriors Impossible Mission II Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Little Computer People One-on-One Paperboy The Pawn Pipe Dream Rampage Renegade Silent Service Spy vs Spy Spy vs. Spy: The Island Caper Spy vs. Spy III: Arctic Antics Starglider Street Sports Basketball Tales of the Unknown: Volume I - The Bard's Tale Techno Cop Times of Lore Winter Games World Games Edited June 11, 2022 by electricmastro Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/336706-games-released-on-the-amiga-apple-ii-commodore-64-and-zx-spectrum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Seems like a *very* short list, but is that because of the ZX Spectrum qualifier? Not familiar enough with that system.

youxia Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Spectrum has the second place on that list when it comes to the amount of games. Nearly everything popular was ported to it. The list is most likely longer but it'd be quite a task to add to it and it seems a bit pointless anyway (why these 4 machines of all available ones?)

It was just the computers I was interested in the most. The C64 in particular had so many games dumped onto it I notice, even more so than Spectrum.

Not familiar enough with that system. The Apple II would be the limiting platform here. From the late 80's, many many European software houses ported to Amiga, C=64, Spectrum (usually along with Amstrad CPC and Atari ST) 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/336706-games-released-on-the-amiga-apple-ii-commodore-64-and-zx-spectrum/#findComment-5071665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Okay, yeah... because there's some major holes missing above where Amiga, Apple and C64 all received ports from the likes of these companies (and many more): Accolade Broderbund EA Infocom Interplay Interstel MicroProse Mindscape Origin Systems SSI ...some might be surprised at just how many games the Apple ][ actually received throughout its lifespan. And poking around LemonAmiga's site a bit and cross-checking via their advanced search, sure does seem to be a ton of ZX Spectrum conversions too as mentioned. In any event, the OP's list above is FAR from complete. ?

electricmastro Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Somehow managed to overlook the first Archon. Rather different from the second one: Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/336706-games-released-on-the-amiga-apple-ii-commodore-64-and-zx-spectrum/#findComment-5071763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamgroot Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I think the Apple II could have been so much bigger in the games world if it would have included a sound chip and sprite ability. But as it is, the only reason the Apple II has as many games for it as it does, is because Apple computers were in the schools first. Families bought the Apple computer thinking that since it is in all the schools, then it would make it easier to learn on at home. And if one has an Apple computer, might as well buy games meant to play on the Apple instead of buying another computer and use it as a gaming system. Just my hind sight two cents. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/336706-games-released-on-the-amiga-apple-ii-commodore-64-and-zx-spectrum/#findComment-5073242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
