RMila75 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hey, yeah! Rampart would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_Albanese_Again Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 I'm just dying to see Kickman ... it's one of those games that just should have come out back in the day. Along the same lines, Donkey Kong 3 would be awesome ... And the idea of porting over the best O2 games is great! Pick Axe Pete, KC Munchkin, Killer Bees, UFO, etc. I'd buy all of the above -- pre-order! Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inextremis staple Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 what about legend of kage? it could be done with the 7800 joystick totally doable itd be great fun and a beautiful game is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 How about a 4 player game that has a bunch of mini-games like Mario Party? Having 5 or 6 mini-paddle games bundled together would be fun. Actually, what is Party Nuts like by Starpath? Maybe my game idea already exists... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 That sounds like a great idea. There needs to be more 4-player 2600 games. Party Mix is a 4-player game that uses paddles, but I don't know anything else about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 what about legend of kage?itd be great fun and a beautiful game I can't believe that there is someone else besides me out there who likes "Legend of Kage". It was one of my first original games for the C=64 back in the days (1986). Nowadays my collection contains the complete copies of C=64 Tape, C=64 Disk and NES. Has it been released for other home-systems aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Cleopatra Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Hi there! Being more the C64 guy, I'd like to see some other stuff ported to the VCS than most others mentioned: Paradroid, Dino Eggs, Archon & Jumpman... I was going to say ARCHON LOVE THAT GAME!!!

ZylonBane Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 If anyone does decide to give 2600 Archon a shot (and I can't think of any technical reason why it couldn't do it), be sure to swing by the Archon: Evolution site. From their Developer Diary-- Jon Freeman (of Free Fall Associates) has very kindly provided us with a wealth of Archon data/information - all taken straight from the original! We now have the complete set of icon attributes (speed, health, damage etc) as well as much of the AI and background game logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I would pay real money to see these ported from the Odyssey 2 (note the exclamation points!). Pick Axe Pete! K.C. Munchkin! Turtles! Freedom Fighters! Killer Bees! The Quest for the Rings! Attack of the Timelord! UFO! I'd also get a kick out of seeing Wing Commander attempted. It's coming to the GameBoy Advance really soon now ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.. what an interesting idea!! I love it!! I suppose even the voice module games *could* be possible as well (perhaps). Great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I'd love to see Bosconian and Scramble. Those are great games, and even in limited fashion might be fun on the 2600. (Personally, I liked Super Cobra, even though the stuttering background makes your brain hurt after awhile.) Perhaps instead of "solid" backgrounds in Scramble, an approach like that used for Stargate would work. (A few minutes pass...) Mission 3000 is indeed a pretty good starting point for Bosconian. Definitely need to have the pods on the space stations though. (Time Pilot is another game that is Bosconianesque, minus the space stations.) I'd also like to see Lunar Lander. I wonder if a Gravitar hack would be a starting point for that? Rampart would be very cool, too. Check out the Lynx version for a solid, lower-rez port. I don't know about Quantum... while it's a great arcade game, I think it would look pretty tragic on a 2600. Could Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-move or Snood be 2600'd? I'm really looking forward to Star Fire, speaking of ports. I still like the arcade game! (Bonus points if you can name the movie it was featured in, and the 'future' star who was playing it.) I'd love to see the following: Ladybug Turbo I thought Coleco put out Ladybug for the 2600. My long-term memory is gettin' fuzzy though. Must be thinking of something else. Maybe it was one of those oft-announced, never programmed games. They announced Turbo for the 2600 too, and Electronic Games even included it in their 1983 Guide to Videogames - with a mock-up of the screen. I waited forever for that game, and assumed it had been at least started on, since EG claimed it was really great. However, I finally suspected they never saw a working version - just the same mock-up that was printed. That would be a tough game for the 2600, and probably never made it off the drawing board (although if Enduro worked...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 While old, simple arcade games are being named, Space Zap would've been pretty easy, I'd think. See Cosmic Ark and Vault Assault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 If you use the driving controllers, how will you implement forward/reverse shifting? Using the difficulty switches (esp with a 6-switch model) would be neat, but a joystick (with a Y-adapter) would be more practical (and if carts are made, the Y-adapters could be an optional pack-in). Or you could just do away with reverse ala Indy 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahsMyBro Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Really? I bought Arkanoid used - I didn't know it was supposed to have a paddle. Now I have a quest..... Last I checked his webpage, Dustin Sullo still had one listed - http://mywebpages.comcast.net/dsullo/nes.htm I recently bought a couple of items from him and am a very satisfied customer.

tillenterprises Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 One of my favorites from when I was a kid was "Thief." Kind of like a Pac-Man game with police radio banter. I would think that Ms Pac Man could be hacked (make the dots green, etc) to make this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could just do away with reverse ala Indy 500. I dropped the difficulty switch idea. I'll use the switches for something else. It's going to require a Y adapter otherwise you'll be locked in forward gear. I won't release the game on cart unless there are pre-assembled Y-adapters available from somewhere. I don't want anyone to have to wire their own. http://www.homebrewgames.net/deathderby/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Destructo Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I second whoever suggested Kickman. It's a natural for the 2600's, uh, "unique" graphics system. For a new game, make Astro Blaster, and base it on Megamania, which is, ironically enough, a simplified copy of Astro Blaster to begin with. Add laser overheating, warp slowdown, asteroid wave and docking, and voilá! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xot Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I like to know which ones could be possible. Good lord, just about anything COULD be done, just depends on how well. Off the top of my head, some of the ones that could be done, and done reasonably well, I think, would be: Guzzler Frenzy Super Pac-Man Asteroids Deluxe Galaga Gaplus (Galaga 3) Blaster Bomb Jack Ataxx Donkey Kong 3 Ladybug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
