I really wonder just how many "real" Amiga people there are left sometimes. Arguing over stupid crap seems more interesting to people than actually using thier amigas from what I can tell.

p.s. by "real" I mean people who dont just like to reminisce, or use thier Amiga's for more than a casual game on Winuae or similar from time to time.
I do use my old computers for more than just gaming, and I do have plans to put together an Amiga game or two in the not-too-distant future. Gotta get through MSXdev first, though.

As far as suggestions, if you're serious about getting this done in a month, pick something simple, like an Atari 2600 game, and give it a nice port/slight expansion, or a later game whose internals are well-documented enough that you can construct your own re-coding and supply the original maps/scripts with Amiga-tailored graphics and sound.

How about Wasteland? It's basically Fallout in an Ultima format and never got an Amiga port, plus with the Amiga you have enough disk space and RAM to build in all the flavor text they stuck in the manual.
