new versions of great games

[mantisspider]

hi guys,

ive been reading reveiws for CD32 games looking for the latest versions of my fav games. most being put on a cd with no enhancements at all :-(

games like Gunship 2000, Zool 2, Syndicate, and Pirates Gold should have be re written to work especially for the CD32 to take advantage of the faster CPU, AGA and funky CD audio. All the CD32 needed was some decent games to take advantage of its hardware to push it ahead of all the other consoles. bloody timemachine

games i wanna see made taking advantage of the modern computer:

* The Clue,
* Gunship 2000
* Syndicate
* Stunt Car Racer (just add more features and AGA graphics)
* Cruise for a Corpse (quake powered murder mystery)
* Pirates
* Populos type god game (amiga sees Black&White)
* Knights of the Sky
* MoonStone (top crashing) hmm meets Ultima Online?
* Damocles & Frontier (merge both great games)

games that are so old its criminal not to release the rights to these games.

:-S kinda turning into one of those, 'best games' threads. but which games would actually benefit of being updated... lots of games should be left like they are..
friendly faces like these deserve some steroids and a make over

erm , gunship cd32 is way!!!! enhanced for cd32 ,
it has cdda and fmv and most of all its updated for AGA and 020.

compared to the ecs version the cd32 version roxxor!


syndicate cd32 wasnt changed at all, the whole redo the syndicate was abandoned and they released the ecs version.


the clue cd32 is way changed, it has speech and cdda and its a very big game and it has aga gfx.

pirates gold never came to aga or ecs so thats an cd32 only game so all in all its enhanced + it has some extremely well cdda.

zool2 cd32 is also way enhanced over the ecs and aga floppy versions , with fmv and cdda and more levels + more features.


maybe i missunderstoood your post , but atm i dont see why u mentioned thoose games as all of them was enhanced except for syndicate.

fire force
total carnage
quik the thunder rabbit

Eh? Those games are old, bound to AGA/OCS graphics and probably
written in assembly.

oh yeah cd32 is nice =) have a lots of games with extra stuff (compared with aga/ecs floppy games) and i think... any make turrican 4 for amiga? =)

gunship 2000 on cd32 could be so much better. the games engine was a breakthrough when it started but no real development to make it a vast improvement. gunship 2000 has the promise of better polygons n colours n gameplay.
Come on, what about going on missions with a fleet of helicopters in the mist of battle in IRAQ and Afghanistan?

Wing commander is mentioned as the only one that used it in some CD32 FAQ pdf file I found.

Ok we have two then on the list:
- Wing commander
- Microcosm

a nice qoute which just goes to show how the games made for CD32 dont take advantage of just what it can do.
Imagine just what Gunship 2000 could have been. could have been the flagship of the CD32

Actually, the Zool2 for the Jaguar kicks the CD32 version in the teeth in every way but one:

On occasion the sound hangs.

Does anyone know who owns the rights to the Ocean and Microprose (amiga titles) games? oooh and anyone know who has the rights to "Football Glory" is it Cloanto? cheers
