Any 8bit classics you'd like to see on Amiga?

[fishy_fiz]

Ive really been in the mood to make a classic amiga game lately. Usually when this happens I start, get a few routines done, then get over ambitious and eventually lose interest. I made a new years resolution that 2011 would be the year I release some sort of original work, but instead I just did about 100 ports of various bits and pieces for AROS and OS3.x. While this is its own sort of fun it doesnt really compare to to making something from the ground up.

All that said and done Id like (again) to try to break my bad habbit of losing focus by making a simple game that will work on an a500 (I only have an a1200 and amithlon machines, but targetting them could lead to "feature creep").

Now this said and done Im thinking remaking an older 8bit game from c64, speccy, amstrad cpc, etc. might be a bit of fun, not to mention potentially quicker than something completely original (or from a more advanced system)

Anyone have any suggestions as to what theyd like to see on the Amiga? Preferably something that doesnt already exist on the Amiga. Im happy to use ripped gfx for the moment as the focus for me is getting a game running rather than creating any sort of audiovisual masterpiece. In fact gfx and sound are somewhat of a distraction from the actual game (at least for now). Speed of development (and pure fun) are more important for now (so no big rpgs, etc. for the moment).

I think Ive probably started a thread like this before, but hopefully this time I can stick with it and break my bad habbit of losing motivation and focus.

I dont know if anyone is interested, but I think Ive made a decision. Firstly though, can anyone tell me if there's any Monty Mole games for the Amiga? I seem to vaguely recall there beig one, but couldnt find any.

Oh, and the choice,...... Monty On The Run.
Why?
Quite simple gameplay that I got addicted to while trying out some of the suggestions (or offshoots) here

The music should be fun to try to recreate too when I get to that point

As per usual my attention span warrants me being called a goldfish. I got as far as recreating one screen and interest is already waning.

Not particulary happy with the results, although I did somewhat cripple the potential by just ripping a c64 screenshot (very speccy-esque usually too) and touching it up using the existing screen palette (13 out of 16 c64 colors).

Looks better in native resoultion, but even them I appologize for any eyes it offends

Berzerk, now that brings back memories I used to play a great version on my old tandy trs80 coco1 when I was a younger fella.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, although little actual work has been done Ive been having a nostalgic blast doing "researching" (playing) many of these games
I actually thought Montezuma's Revenge was a Monty Mole game though, which is what led me to Monty On The Run in the 1st place  

Not something I plan on converting (yet), but does anyone remember the c64 game "Master Of Magic"? Loved it back in the day and rediscovered it while looking into some of these games. Interesting and somewhat original RPG style game with a cool Rob Hubbard tune..... so many classic games, so little time

Lots of good suggestions here, but maybe I shouldve made a poll. There's quite a few that would be fun to remake, but Im only one person. A poll would show me what might be popular. As much as Im doing this for my own fun its more enjoyable if at least a few others are also interested. A poll would show what might have a little popularity. So far there's 3 or 4 titles that Id include in such a poll, and 1 or 2 other potentials.

Feel free to keep 'em coming and I'll make a poll once Ive got a few more to chose from.
