[mikrucio]

Your all forgetting SUPERFROG!

i think zool was also amiga only.

both these games would be a good 3d game on ps2

"Paint my wintel pc green and you get an xbox"

Rick dangerous or superfrog would suit as mascot.

Hmm, you Euro folks suprise me. Being an OLD original Amiga person from 85-91 (Who the heck is SuperFrog and Turrican? oh wait Turrican was a value title here!).

Let's see Amiga yesteryear titles that I remember. Okay, Amiga MindWalker, Marble Madness, Shadow of the Beast, The Bards Tale and all of the Electronic Arts titles. Lemmings, Lemmings, Zoom!

The most famous Amiga software was definitely that from EA, followed closely by LucasArts (Monkey Island), Sierra Online (remember Kings Quest, Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry). Oh and lets not forget Space Ace and Dragon's Lair by Readysoft..

Also I'd love to see Cinemaware port Rocket Ranger and Defender of the Crown (in 3d) back to the Amiga (at least doing Retargetable Versions). It's so cool even the demo version.

I have seen an SDL 3d port of marble madness called Marbles..

Greetings,

Hmmm since we're in the subject of Porting games, how about porting those Arcade Beat'em Up Games like SNK vs CAPCOM 2 Or Marvel VS. CapCom with QSound tech support! Shooters like Time Crisis 3 or Silent Scope 2 would also be nice with Light Guns in mind! That would kick ... 8-)

Remember OutRun? How about, for a newer port, Grand Tursmo II and similar racing games or Better! Like to see that Redone. That will push the Amiga into extrme 3d renderings!

A 2d game like METAL SLUG 2 would be nice ported as well. If all the games I mentioned were possible to port.

Cheers,

Gizz

Why the heck would one waste time to port games like SNK vs Capcom, Metal Slug etc when they're already fully playable under emulation?

[gizz72]

@Philips

Yor're right about the amount of time to code that version on the Amiga.
I think it's much better to play a version/conversion of such games I mention on the Amiga. Emulating would have its limitations as well, while a version of a game on the Amiga running natively would depend on the coder. One good exeample of a good(almost) conversion/version is the Mortal Kombat 2.

Cheers :-)

I think Liberation deserves an update (yes, I know it's technically already 3D). That game was ahead of its time when it was first released. A new version with network multiplayer support would be amazing.

Wishful thinking mode ON: Each player would take control of a single droid and they would all need to cooperate and share clues to find the captives. Or there could be a competitive mode where the first droid to find the captive wins. Ah, that would be fun.

I'd also suggest Litil Divil for an update, but I'm quite satisfied with its current incarnation.

I'd like to see new versions of Fairy Tale Adventure and Alternate Reality. At one time, Alternate Reality was supposed to have been reworked into Alternate Reality Online (by the creator Philip Price and musician from the original Gary Gilbertson), but that didn't go anywhere.

Well since Sega has the publishing rights to Worms now, why not a
ressurection of Lemmings?

I think if Lemmings got 95% Gold Award style reviews on AmigaOne the
world would sit up and notice.

If Lemmings did this and suddenly AmigaOne got SENSIBLE S:-oCCER 3D
for dessert...

:-D :-D :-D :-) :-D :-D :-D ;-) :-D :-D :-D

little divil and liberation!

2 of my faves there along with microcosm :-)


Though liberation was a bit w***.  Only thing going for it was the voice-overs :-)   3D only very very loosely!


"what you doing down here drekhead?"

lol

What was the other one?

sonething along the lines of

"Arent you scared the travellers will get you?"

[Naeem]

The Dizzy series by Codemasters!

Micro machines etc etc


Would be great to have a pin-up Egg out there doing the nasty again :-)

[darkwave]

Cannon Fodder. It needs to be resurrected.  :-D

[Gibbersan]

Or how about a new version of the Cannon Fodder/Sensible Soccer combination game? I think that was one of the the CU Amiga or Amiga Format coverdisks (maybe a Christmas edition?).

[Matt_H]

@ Naeem

Classic, isn't it? I think Liberation's voice acting puts many modern attempts to shame. It's an incredibly detailed, atmospheric game once you get into it. Even now I've never made it past the second mission.

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Why not a 2d SVGA (1280*1024, 32 bit colour, antialiased) version of sensible soccer? I mean, arcadey feel with a HUUUUUGE look on the playfield. I also think it'd give it a more strategic touch. :-)
