Amiga games for a huge group
« on: April 16, 2010, 06:52:35 AM »
Hi,

Before you read the rest of this post, have a look at the following movies:

The movies show my current project in full action. Purpose os my project is to get a bunch of people together playing retro like games, but than in a huge group up to 16 players at a time. As you can see, the concept works great. People are having lots of fun. What do you think of it? I'd like to hear your opinions!

BTW: All graphics of these games are done in Imagine on my A4000

Wow, great games! Congratulations!
I watched your videos, and it would be really cool to play those games with a bunch of friends!

Will you please make them available for download at one point?

I love the idea of playing Amiga games with a large group. Sometimes we have four or five people here and we play DynaBlaster on the A500 in the games room. When I'm all alone, I log in to Dynamite and play with up to eight players online. I think these Bomberman style games are great fun for multiple players. There's also Worm Wars, which I am going to try setting up on an A1200 to play in the games room next time we have a few people over.

Yes please. The more local multiplayer games the better. We've had great fun with 8 player Super Skidmarks :)

Party gamez rule d00d! :)

I have had Amiga parties and played almost every single 4-player Amiga game with 4 people.  Hired Guns, Lotus, etc.

I have played Total Chaos AGA with 5 people at once.

Amiga party games rule!
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA

Playing games with a group up to 16 people is the most fun I ever had!! If more people feel like that perhaps some sort of gathering would be possible? I live in the Netherlands though.

As for the request of making the games downloadable, I'm not going to do that as I'm using the whole setup commercially. (see http://www.2quest.nl)

looks nice !

how are thinking to address the player input issue ? multiple amigas serial linked or something like that ? I don't think you can have more than ... 6 people on a single amiga ? (2 on joy ports, 4 on parallel port with somekind of adapter ?)

The games cannot be downloaded. I' not going to release them. The games run on my laptop, not on my Amiga. Reason for posting it here is because all graphics were made on my Amiga and the people here like the games! :-)

It would also be fun to assemble a group so that the games can be played together. Playing games with 15 other people on such a huge screen is just soooo much fun!

Any reason why not? It seems a shame not to release such great looking games!

It's cool to play games that were created using Amigas, even if they're not actually on an Amiga :) Now, if only we could play them... ;)

well, if you're not going to release these games, you'ld better post this in a local forum in Netherlands. Although they're nice, I doubt anybody will take a trip to Netherlands just to play them. (especially in these cloudy days when there are no flights to Europe)
