Tsukasa Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Has anyone every attempted to port Delta from the C64 to the 2600? I know that Thomas is good at doing ports from looking at his work on Thrust+. Is anyone up to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Has anyone every attempted to port Delta from the C64 to the 2600? Delta is a great game, but I don't think you can make a good 2600 conversion. There are far too many sprites on the screen, so the result would probably become a horrible flicker festival.

Tsukasa Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 Oh...... Well, it was a thought. I was just trying to think of good games that aren't on the 2600 that have music by Rob Hubbard.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you used the venetian blinds technique? The enemy sprites could be part of the background graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
