TMR Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) humanoid seems quite ok...but the gfx seems to be rip. 971676[/snapback] The player sprite, backgrounds and bosses were pulled from Subterranea... i'm fairly sure the nasty sprites were "donated" by Mirax Force?

Heaven/TQA Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 yup, jason, you are right and my gut feeeling was right... all seemed well known... the mirax force stuff was obvious... btw. i got my c64 d2tv today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I'm not sure about a lot of these games, really. Many of them would NEED at LEAST a two-button joystick (CX-24 or similar) in order to play properly. I just can't fathom playing a game like Double Dragon with a single button. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracon Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 For me these would be cool enough: JACK THE NIPPER (1 or 2) CABAL BARBARIAN 2 SKOOL DAZE LAST NINJA I - III (superb classic game!) IRON LORD DEFENDER OF THE CROWN (real one, not "WLADCA") GHOST N' GOBLINS MICROPROSE SOCCER (there's lack of nice and full playable soccer on A8) so... everybody can dream of something... unreal...

Mudface Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Elite. It's mad that there's versions for just about every other '80's home computer but the Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allas Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Yesterday, I remembered this game called SON SON. It was very funny and I saw that it could be adaptable for Atari techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hey, and what about Bubble Bobble, someone has some tme ago working on it. IIRC Tezz. Anyone know more about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gury Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Are there any license issues here? I mean... if somebody decides to port BBC version of Elite to Atari 8-bit, is there any authorship involved? I think you cannot use character names, places and story like that. Or am I wrong?

El Destructo Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Crazy Climber Rally-X Phoenix Venture TRON A lot of the second-tier classic arcade games I enjoyed never made it to the Atari 8-bit. Don't know why, they seem tailor-made for it. Edited November 30, 2005 by El Destructo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Ah, Venture - agreed Phoenix and Tron would also be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chguat Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I remember I had a copy of Tron for 8-bit atari back in the day. It was on an unmarked disk that I think someone copied for me. It may have been a demo. Anyway, someone did make a version of Tron for the atari, but it was really crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 The best (for now) version of TRON is here: http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...VERSION_ID=5533 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chguat Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Yeah, the screenshots of that game look waaaaay better than the Tron I used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CharlieChaplin Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hmm, I would like to see: - Super Mario Bros. clone - Sonix clone - R-type clone - Prince of Persia clone (meaning part 1 for the old 386 and 486 Pc`s, programmed by the same guy as Karateka) - some F1 racing game (maybe like a "checkered flag" type from the Lynx) with realistic/realtime opponents (no random computer opponents), tournement mode, approx. 8 tracks, point system (like in a F1 race) greetings, Andreas magenheimer.

KulorXL Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 - Super Mario Bros. clone- Sonix clone - R-type clone Agreed, I'd moreso like to see direct ports of Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 and 3, and perhaps the SMS Sonic games (would the A8 be capable...?). Some other games that would be cool would be some of the Final Fantasy titles. Not the 8-bit ones, I mean like the stuff that's out for SNES. I hear the A8 is capable of 256 colors on-screen, but I imagine that takes a ton of power, so an RPG would be perfect (they were the SNES's claim to fame, since it couldn't match the Genesis' faster hardware). No mode-7, though...too bad...but imagine the once sample-based music revised for POKEY, that'd be awesome... Some other games I think would be cool on the A8: -Metroid (never really liked Turrican, I played the Genesis version...but I'll take this anyday) -Bee-52 (or was it released...? I know there's a C64 port) -Space Harrier -Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers (the NES one) -A 3D game! Doom or something...don't care if it's in 2 colors, just so long as it's fun. That would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Somebody else had mentioned "Shadow Of The Beast" and I agree. I'd also like to add another Psygnosis title that shouldn't be that hard to do. Blood Money I think a well done 2 player co-op mode in this game for the 8bits would be great! Heck, why'll I'm at it, let me add one of me and my sons favorite 2 player games, Twisted Metal 2 from the original Playstation. That would rule as well. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack-c0s Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Mayhem in monsterland. As i said ages back in another thread it might have to take a hit in terms of colours (on the happy levels at least) but the biggest bit of technichal trickery so far as the 64 version is concerned is the scrolling - which is an A8 strength.

cbmeeks Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 1) Metroid 2) Metroid 3) Zelda oh, and Metroid would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Were there ever any 'God' games on the A8 - e.g. Populus / Meglomania? I guess this genre would be a bit limited due to lack of working RAM for all the characters & terrain attributes, but something maybe possible.

MegaLoMania.... great stuff.... on the AMIGA About the "64K" does it really matter today? What about bank-switching, mega carts... usb drives (up to 2 gigabytes of ram in a flash-card) ...
