www.atarimania.com Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Wasn't there a rumor that Turrican was to be converted but actually ended up as Technus? -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Is Technus also called 'Technologie Soldier' or something... if so, they are totally different games, so it would hardly be 'classed' as a port over or conversion sorry about that atarimania/atari frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Dungeons and Dragons. I'd like to see what some of the crative people here could do with this one to make it work. Doom would also be a nice one to see as a demo application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chguat Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I was just thinking about this. I would have to say Crystal Quest and Oregon Trail. Crystal Quest really wouldn't be that hard to do, and it really wouldn't surprise me if someone's already made a version of it for the A8.

To say it in other words: We could have a fun Wolfenstein 3D version, but a "Rastan Saga" would never give the wanted result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Impossible Mission 970803[/snapback] It's on Atari already, maybe someone finishes it. See here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) Bard's Tale Also, I don't think the A8 Gauntlet is bad For RPGs - couldn't any of the SSI/TSR games be ported from the C64 easily? Has the A8 got an early "Final Fantasy" or "Pokemon" style game yet? A Hypersports port (from C64, the BBC version isn't so good) would be good, although the Track&Field games we have aren't too bad. I agree that the C64 scrollers (Blood Money, Xenon, R-Type) probably wouldn't cut it on the A8. Though I think Speedball maybe just possible, something like Ballistix could work OK. I'd add "Paradroid" & "Stunt Car Racer" to the list too. Regards, Mark Edited November 23, 2005 by Wrathchild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Laird Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 He's a few games I would love to see that would be more than possible. Blue Lightning or Afterburner Double Dragon Wrestlefest And also a couple of obscure but brilliant Spectrum games: Bak 2 Skool - Possibly the best game ever made by Microsphere. Viking Raiders - Great strategy game by Firebird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allas Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) All of them are good games for an Atari. But I'd prefer the incomplete classics: - Yie Ar Kung Fu - Space Harrier - Super Mario Bross 3 - International Karate + - Imposible mission - Shadow of the beast - Pacmania - Boinxx very near near... but so far far far....
