Mega lo Mania

I have never played this game, though I'm aware it is somewhat of a classic. Is it worth having a go at? Maybe it could be a good tonsillitis distraction :-(

Hmm might give it a go. And a bit of Populous II while I'm at it ;-) I'm actually crap at computer games, so it should take me at least 10 years to complete it. I think Putty is the only game I have *ever* completed!

There must be a remake or clone with online capabilities. Just found Gigalomania which is an open source remake. It even uses the original game data files so looks exactly like the Amiga version! I nominate you to add online multiplayer support and port it to the Mac ;-)

I've had a quick play with the code, but I don't have enough time to make it compile for the Mac... adding network multiplayer probably wouldn't be too much of a problem though...

Do it, do it, do it!


It would probably play pretty well in Parallels. So a multiplayer version would still be possible on a Mac!

I did try and clone it about 10 years ago on my miggy, I wanted to write a system friendly version, like this clone, I used to original data files. But I got bogged down with the AI... I really could't figure out how to make it work... so I opted for a multiplayer idea, i.e. not needing any AI at all! but I had no idea how to network on my amiga... life is much easier now with SDL...

Yes SDL makes things really easy (not that I know what it was like before). Even I, a C++ fledgling, was able to get a beta version of a Geometry Wars clone working on the GP2X :-)
