Title: If you could have one game converted to the Amiga which game would you choose!?
Post by: Erol on November 04, 2006, 08:21:08 PM: Mine would be the last platform game made on the c64..

Mayhem in Monsterland

This top 10 c64 games brings back memories..

Post by: X-ray on November 04, 2006, 09:28:23 PM: Nemesis the Warlock

(With updated graphics and weapons)

Otherwise one of the turn-based games that succeeded UFO and never came to Amiga.

Post by: Deevo on November 04, 2006, 09:40:54 PM: I think something like World of Warcraft. Getting one of the most popular games would bring out a lot of the closet Amiga users and strengthen the community.

I've decided Parallax also would make an excellant conversion, the commodore 64 version was fantastic game.

Heck Yes!

Freakin Parallax! Love that game till this day! what an awesome feeling that game gave me.........including the Intro which I have SIDS for that I play on HippoPlayer.

The music in the game was very well adapted to the theme of the game.......so mysterious and science fictiony :-)

That is a definite must........the music must be exactly the same........the tempo and all..........Just in 18 bit quality version.

Wow.....Parallax...............memories :-)

Post by: Karlos on November 04, 2006, 10:23:26 PM: Any fully featured DirectX9+ game.

The reason?

So that the driver level infrastructure and APIs required to implement any such game are available.

Of course, this would have to be OS4/MOS/AROS stuff. I doubt a real 680x0 would cope so well ;-)

Perfectly plausible too i would have thought, being a DX8/Open GL game.

Completely agree!

CPS2 hardware isn't as fast as the CD32 is anyways. Who knows, Probably something about the CPS32 makes it possible for such a good game. Another game to put on the Amiga would be Marvel VS Capcom. Another great fighting game for 2d.

the CPS , has MANY things in hardware, even tasks like collision detection... not to mention it's 4096 color depth... so you cannot say "oh it uses a simple 68000, amiga is better..." remember , cps is a mobo built ONLY with games in mind...

Mind you, Amiga was originally too.
And can it use 4096 colors on screen at the same time at high speed?
Everything I see on that CPS, doesn't seems to me impossible even on an A500 (with a bit reduced details)

I'm sure the A1200 can do a nice 2D fighter. 2MB chipmem might be a limitation though, compared to 20 or 40MB of ROM in an arcade game.

Title: Re: If you could have one game converted to the Amiga which game would you choose!?
Post by: Rebel-CD32 on November 11, 2006, 06:28:18 AM: The custom graphics hardware in CPS2 and NeoGeo is more advanced than the AGA or ECS, although with a good coder, the Amiga can match those systems with the right amount of RAM, although it would experience slow-down if there were too many sprites on screen.

A game like SFA3 would be possible in 2MB. It might need to lose a few colours and animation frames, just as the Playstation version did, but would still be perfectly playable. Games like Shadow Fighter, Elfmania and Fightin' Spirit all had large sprites, animated or parallax backgrounds, and several moves, and all those games were designed to run on 1MB ECS Amigas (even though AGA versions of two of them were released, they weren't much different to the originals). An AGA Amiga has twice as much RAM, and can handle sprite sizes twice as big as an ECS Amiga.

I'm not sure how well a game like Metal Slug would run, I guess you'd need an Amiga-specific version, like Metal Slug Advance, unless it was loading background blocks and sprites from the CD or hard drive as you progressed through the levels.

Couldn't one make such a cartridge for the Amiga 500 expansion port? :-)
Title: Re: If you could have one game converted to the Amiga which game would you choose!?
Post by: Egg-Chen on November 11, 2006, 01:47:13 PM: I don't think the Amiga hardware can compete with the arcade CPS system (more colors on screen, more hardware sprites, more audio channels (FM + PCM...)). Anyway I agree that some talented coders can use some strength out of the Ami' chipset.

I think 'Mega Typhoon' (http://aminet.net/package/game/demo/megatyphoon) is a good example of what can be done on a A500 with a carefully well programmed engine.

With such an engine it should be possible to make great shoot- them-up on the Miggy. Personally I would choose "Aleste 2" for its playability, its variety and its very nice in between anime cuts or a masterpiece like "Hinotori" and its unique atmosphere...

Any volunteer ? ;-)

I dont think I agree with you on Mega Typhoon.......although I never Played it......from the screenshots I see in "Hall Of Light" it looks like an 8bit NES gam with the same kind of crude lores gfx. Battle Squadron looks better than that. and Battle Squadron is a darn fine game......even though the gfx can still be massively improved. ProjectX is the best looking ShootemUp for an A500 and T-Zero is the Best looking for AGA. Also check out Apidya, Hybris,

a well or rather EXCELLENTLY programmed game is SLAM TILT. Probably the highest Quality arcade game made for Amiga.

Im in the Process of leaving the Amiga...and this is the Game that keeps coming to mind for me...wich I also have for the PC somewhere

Post by: _ThEcRoW on November 11, 2006, 02:12:59 PM: Altough the A500 has a very good hardware for graphics, definitely couldn't meet the ram requirements for a game like metal slug or sf alpha. And an a1200 neither.
I anyone can do that then i will shut up.
Cheers!
Title: Re: If you could have one game converted to the Amiga which game would you choose!?
Post by: Hyperspeed on November 11, 2006, 09:44:59 PM: Goldeneye on N64 took 3yrs to make and is regarded by many to be the best game in the world and it fits on a 16MB cartridge. The N64 only has a 4MB display memory size so I'm sure if a game was developed full time for a few years on Amiga hardware it would be fairly mind blowing.

A Blizzard PPC with BlizzardVision would have a third to half the power of a Dreamcast - a huge potential there had these cards sold better.

Pity we never really got 3D development software like DirectX for the PPC accelerators... then again, with retro so popular someone could make a killing by selling plug-n-play 3D hardware for old Amigas (so long as there was a killer app or conversion to accompany them!).

I'll third that.

If this should run on an AGA A1200 or A4000 (assuming network capability), the interface could not be fully 3D.

But a top-down iconized view would work - only show the layer you're standing on - a bit like the minimap.
For 'seeing' other characters, you click on them, and a composite of their exterior is shown in a seperate section of the screen.

Not entirely impossible :)

Try it before. The Gfx don't do justice to this game (well to say the truth, as an "old-schooler" I like those old fashioned type of Gfx).

Yes... but to return back to the subject, if I cited Mega Typhoon it's because it has a very efficient sprite engine, it is among the better engines I could see running on the A500 : everything move smoothly, the action is very fast, there aren't any slowdowns or flickering and most of all, the screen is full of moving sprite (more than 100 according to the authors of the game). It is rather impressive from a technical point of view, although there are maybe some weakness in the art/design department. I think it's more a demo of what's possible using this engine.

Now I can just imagine what could be done with such an engine : Aleste, Aleste 2, Salamander etc. games like ProjectX are visually very appealing, but I don't like them very much, I find them boring, they lack the intensity of games like those above mentioned.

Unfortunately sorry, but as the Cyberstorm in my A4000 went bust several years ago, I can't use my G-REX in there and therefore no GFX-card... - meaning I would have to work on my old TV, a thing I don't want to do to my eyes.

On my Peg I haven't installed a cross-compiler either, as I prefer to concentrate on one system at a time.

But as I said, the source is included in the package - which is also on Aminet and (hopefully) everything a programmer should do is replace all "__MORPHOS__" with "__AMIGA__" (or whatever the corresponding define is on the classic or OS4.

I have always wanted a 3D Mech game on the Amiga, and the closest I've got is running the original Mechwarrior game by Dynamix (the guys who did Arctic Fox, A10 Tank Killer etc) using PC Task 4. This actually works very well, but the 1989 3D leaves a little to be desired.

If there's anyone who can still program a good game for the Amiga, using all its strengths, it's you. Make sure you check out some of the best arcade vertical scrolling shooters on MAME (or in a real arcade if that's still an option) for some inspiration, and let us all know if you need any help. You could check out the Amiga Games Factory over on abime.net, they're trying to get a team of Amiga games creators together for a few projects over there.

Oh yeah, and it's been a week since your post, where's Mr. Beanbag? :-P

Can't wait to get the full game, how about releasing a Christmas level demo before Christmas time?

I just got this for the PS2 the other week and I can't put it down. It only takes about an hour to finish, but it's pure arcade mayhem all the way.

Pure side-scrolling shoot-em-up, frantic non-stop mayhem, classic arcade action. The way games used to be :-D

I'm hoping to get 4 & 5 for Xmas :-D

And what's wrong with Mr. Nutz?? Sure, the Mega Drive and SNES versions totally sucked, but the Amiga version was a whole other game, and one of the best platformers I've played on any system (and I've played a lot of them). I finished the game once, and it's massive. Beautiful graphics, wonderful sound, perfect gameplay... the only thing that let it down was not being hard drive installable. It actually had the option to use a control pad so you could jump using the button instead of pressing up too, which all platform games should have.

Never played Mr. Pants though.

Vincent, yeah, Metal Slug totally rocks hey, we definitely need more games like that on Amiga. Try and find the PS1 version of Metal Slug X if you want another Metal Slug game to enjoy.

Total Annihilation is a great strategy game. Would be nice to see that one the Amiga.

Well then, start working on a port of Spring (http://spring.clan-sy.com) (GPL'd real time strategy engine, initially created to run TA content, but now much more than that). Currently there are versions for Win32 and Linux, a MacOSX port nearly done... Uses SDL, OpenGL, er, and, other stuff. Good luck!!! :-D

Already on the look out for that :-D

I'm not too keen on the look of Metal Slug 3D though. Looks pants.
