Amiga games for N-Gage?

[AmiDelf]

\\//AmigaWorld have started a project, getting Amiga games for this new handheld device from Nokia.

We do this, because Nokia is strong in Europe, so is Amiga, and if we can work out something tougether, it would give both something. With AmigaOS v4.0 nearing its release day by day, Amiga games for N-Gage could have AmigaOS v4.0 promotions and more. Giving Nokia N-Gage people and others a sign that Amiga is alive. Because we have to start the marketing somewhere, then this is a great way to start it all... Or?

This new handheld device from Nokia is not just a gaming console, it also have video player, mp3 player, FM tuner and a suberb OS,... The SymbianOS

So, now its time for you to vote on what sort of Amiga gaming packs you would have:

#1: Amiga Gaming Alien pack, All of the Alien Breed games
#2: Amiga Gaming Fun pack, All of the platform games, like Superfrog, Zool, Giana Sisters +++
#3: Amiga Gaming Racing pack, Lotus Triology, OutRun, Stuntcar Racer, Skidmarks etc+++

Please vote, and check out http://www.amigaworld.org/N-Gage.html
from 03.01.2004 for updates.

Vote, so we know whats popular to get first for N-Gage, ... You vote for everyone of the packs, with the first pack wich you think is the best as the first one, like this:

#2
#3
#1

That means that #2 have highest priority, then #3 and then #1

here is a small tip, we have the devkit for n-gage and its not very 68k asm friendly , so thoose games packs must be then runned with N-gage UAE itseems, but then again who would pay for such?..

anyway our gba releases is planned for n-gage also, that is..if the n-gage is not just another FLOP!..



amidelf: kommer du på os4 demoen i haugesund 26/12 ?

@lempkee

Nokia stole my idea.
I said to my mate last year sometime " Steve we gotta desgin a handheld wireless multiplayer gaming device, thats going to be the new thing(tm) and we will be rich!"

BAH!

anyway, this would be a good idea, instead of porting all these apps to the Ngage though, I would ort them to Amiga DE and have a player made for the Ngage. Then not only do you get nokia, but all platforms DE supports.

[AmiDelf]

I would love to come, but I am going to Poland on Sunday

Other than that, this project is also to help Nokia itself with N-Gage. Its got to much critisism.. and if Nokia and Amiga can work tougether in a good way. Both will win!

Herlig!

No noo noooo!

I have nothing but bad feelings for N-Gage.
It is a bad thought through machine. Everyone I
have talked to about it (hardcore gamers/ordinary people) mostly thinks it is a flop. Ther marketing is just terrible. Half Naked girls and cheap things like that. This machine is geeky, and that is not geeky in a good way. The last thing I would like to see is the Amiga name together with the N-Gage logo. It would do more harm than good IMO. Check this site out www.sidetalking.com - People think this machine is silly. A far better option would be to release games for the GBA. That is a classy gaming system, not a cheap phone that also wants to be a clumsy gaming system. Ehh.. well.. enuff.

Given the advanced graphics capabilities of ngage, you should port AGA games (the retro look of the 80's games won't be much apreciated by the average cell-phone user that has grown up with the PC-games), plus worth considering even newer titles like Payback (THE GAME), that is beeing developed for gba also.

The best initiative I've ever heard! :pint: :-D

There marketing is just terrible. Half Naked girls

True we could at least expect full naked girls from a company this big.

I think the N-Gage has sold in less numbers than the AmigaOne!

Seriously the problem is that it was promoted as a games "thing" that did phone "stuff". However its just a normal mobile phone, with a funky layout. No special hardware etc.

However it does set the standard for mobile games developers, so they know what spec they can aim for. Shame about having to remove the battery to change the game. :-o

I'm sorry but I agree, the NGage is a piece of crap and an utter flop. The gaming industry can't quit making fun of it, or reporting on its poor sales. I work at a T Mobile call center where everyone has the latest and greatest phones ('cause they get 'em cheap), of ~1000 employees noone I know of owns an NGage (and being a geek I'd be one of the first people they'd come show it to).

I'd rather not be associated w/ it.

Of course, the encyption on the "cartridges" has been cracked already, so it would immediatlly support the piracy of the Amiga glory days.

Yes already you can download 34 games and 24 aplications as an 89mb file not good if you are selling the games. :-?
