Yes.



OK, then yes, put a super beautiful Warlords clone on my list! :)

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 :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

I had many hours of fun with Toy Bizarre, Plus there was a game my mates played for hours where you play a stunt man, and had to do stunts with precise accuracy.

For me, it would be Psytron, a great ZX Spectrum game by Beyond Software. But watch out: this game is also infamous because a bug in the last stage prevented anyone to complete it.

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 :P

C64 M.U.L.E. for me. Apparently someone started a port of this to the Amiga years ago but it was never finished or released. Could be very cool on the Amiga in my opinion.

The closest you'll get to M.U.L.E is Traders.
I always wanted a Pinball Construction Set conversion.
Fairlight (Wizardry) was also an excellent game on the C64. (Although Edge put a Cease and Desist on a Retro Remake a few years ago)

It'd be great to see professional, polished, as close to arcade perfect versions of:

Vector games:

Armor Attack
Space Duel
Boxing Bugs
Black Widow
Star Castle
War of the Worlds - but several enhancements would need to be made here such as: bonus mothership stage, multiple piece turret that allowed 2-3 hits before you died, etc.

Raster:

Montezuma's Revenge
Berzerk
Donkey Kong
Scramble
Zoo Keeper
Kaos
Tapper

...and for other translations:

Intellivision's Utopia, improved with keyboard control, improved graphics and speed up option

C64's Pinball Construction Set, with enhanced features and improved in all areas for Amiga.

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 :)
