How about porting an open source game or something like that?
Or perhaps getting some open source graphics/sounds and making a small game in backbone or seuck?

Problem would be games with source, and games that will run within the costraints of 68k+AGA.

Wikipedia has a list open source games:

And a list of comercial games now free (dunno about source):

Anacreon should be possible

So should enemy nations (for beefier amigas)

Dink small wood perhaps? With the added bonus being that it is a complete RPG engine

I don't know much about porting though, they might already have been done for all I know!

Yeah, that's part of why (besides the creative aspect) I like the idea of rewriting something rather than porting it. 68k + aga is more capable than the vast majority of open source ports will allow due to the inefficiency of apis used, double-y so on amiga systems who's versions of such apis are far from optiomal


Know what you mean, Novacoder had great success bringing scumm over,once he'd rewritten stuff for AGA+c2p

Glad tou've decided what to bring over :)
