Title: Games that should be ported to Amiga..
Post by: Leifern on August 19, 2005, 10:24:50 AM
Oooohhh.. If you could make a list of games that would be ported to AmigaOS, what would those games be? The first games that comes to mind is:

Little big adventure 1
Settlers 2
Galactic Civilizations
Broken Sword 1 & 2


What do you think?

Broken Sword 1 & 2 would make a good port and I think the Amiga could handle it speed wise nps. I'd like to see the original Unreal ported, it was a great game on the PC I'm just not sure if it would be possible, although it may have run on the Q2 engine????

isn't settlers 2 available for Mac68k ? I think I tried it in Shapeshifter a long time ago, might have been some other game though? :/

Unreal ran on the Unreal engine. Completely different/superior graphics engine. It was designed to work with the Glide API. So it should be able to be ported to an Amiga that has a Voodoo card installed.

It's not against the law to dream.. The reason i picked up my 1200 again wasn't because i saw a revolution coming, but because i love the thing. I'f i knew more than i know about programming i would start porting games right away..

I just thought i would be nice to share some dreams.. :-P

I'm hoping by Amiga you mean AmigaOne.  :-)
Title: Re: Games that should be ported to Amiga..
Post by: orange on August 19, 2005, 02:42:35 PM
if porting to AmigaOne, I'd choose "MAGIC CARPET 2"
and I'd like to see "The Incredible Machine" running on 'classic' Amigas.

Really doesn't matter.. Most of the games listed here would have a REALLY hard time running on a 060 though. :lol:

However, Settlers II, Theme Hospital and Broken Sword I & II could run on an 060, soundcard, picasso96 or Cybergraphx.

hei leifern:

Broken Sword 1+2 is allready playable on Amiga with ScummVM and the performance is good too.

Little Big Adventure 1+2 has turned opensource some time ago (or something) and its on sourceforge and the project is called relentless iirc so that one too is fully portable to Amiga if so.

Frontier: First Encounters is a good start.
I'd also like to see stuff like Star Control II, The Sims etc.

I know this is an oldie but, there was a game called Castles of Dr. Creep for the C64/128. If that game could get all new updated graphics and ported to the Classic Amiga, that would rock!

I would really like an Amiga version of Nemesis The Warlock, with improved graphics and sound. I enjoyed that one big time on the C64.

The source code for the Amiga remake is probably long lost, but depending on what's to be done, one could either go replacing some bits and pieces in that, or do another remake, this time with system calls, RTG...

On all list about best game for amiga is always UFO, so why not make UFO 2 or real name: X-com Terror from the deep possible to play on Amiga 1200. I don't think even that you will need new processor in Amiga because this game has worked on PC 386.

For your questions X-ray about game Warlock this game exist on Amiga. That is amiga version of C-64 game Druid.

@ rjecina

No, I don't believe Nemesis the Warlock is on Amiga. It is nothing like Druid. It is a sideways platform shooter. Here are some pictures:

clickety (http://www.zzap64.co.uk/cgi-bin/displayreview.pl?reviewid=32)

It was only released for Spectrum and Commodore 64. See here. (http://www.2000adonline.com/index.php3?zone=news&page=features&choice=retrogames)
