Andropov Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hi everyone! What if somebody open a company that produces new games to old consoles like 2600, NES, Colecovision, etc.? Would it work out fine or not? Would it be easy to find programmers? Would people buy these games? What do you think about this "crazy" idea?

Philflound Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 It's already done. Check out the Atari Age store with the homebrews. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 There is also protovision who makes new games for the c-64 and a few other actual retro publishers out there too. you just have to root around a bit to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andropov Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 thank you all for the answers! I talked with some people here, and they loved the idea. But the main problem in Brazil is find programmmers to these consoles. I know there are people here with talent and very imaginative, but the problem is put them together to open a company. If you have some ideas, please write them, I would like to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I was kind of hoping that Atari would include a 7800ish version of Driver on the new console. Something along those lines sure would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxglove9 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 This place is still putting out new games for Sega CD, Colecovision, and more... http://www.gooddealgames.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 They even have them for Sega MasterSystem. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 If you have some ideas, please write them, I would like to know! Before you try to put everything together at once, IMO first you should contentrate on one aspect (e.g. programming or production). If you can offer cart, box, manual etc. productions at reasonable prices you will find lots of people who will use your service. And then you get in contact with programmers, designers etc. automatically. But before you start, have a look around what is currently existing. There are lots of homebrew programmers (e.g. click on my sig ), and various people offering cart production service (incl. AA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can do my own games, and ask somebody to put it on a cart. I intend to start my Colecovision programming as soon as possible, and after try programming to other consoles. If I get there, it will be amazing, have a game written by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
