** New ** Most wanted game poll

[Asmusr]

I hope this time it works. Please vote again if you already voted.

[adamchevy]

Is it working?

[pixelpedant]

Looks good!

 

What a great trove of food for thought.

 

Personally, I'm voting more for ones that I think would put the TI's strengths best on display (and might even be improved upon!), rather than the ones which most threaten to serve to exhibit of its weaknesses. But I know many enjoy seeing the challenge of doing the (seemingly) impossible, and I totally respect that.

 

Dungeons of Daggorath is one that hadn't occurred to me that sounds great.

Also love the suggestion of Antarctic Adventure (as I think the only other person who suggested a notable MSX game). But I'm a huge sucker for pseudo-3D vertical scrollers.

I voted, but forgot to include Bomb Jack. Love that game!

[+Ksarul]

Ack, I think I skipped Bomb Jack this time too--unwittingly, as that's another of those games I do like a lot.

...and one you'd think would translate well to the TI. Unlike something, say... TMNT: The Arcade Game.

Hey, the question wasn't "what games do you think would translate well to the TI?"

 

Besides, it's always fun to see how games translate to different platforms. That's the part I miss most in modern gaming.

For those of you who aren't familiar with this particular game, I thought it appropriate to give you a glimpse into my nomination, Faxanadu. There are several reviews, so I picked one at random. I don't know if this would work well on the TI, with the lack of browns... but here it is.... a glimpse into one of the most mind-shaping games of my youth.

Having some SIERRA ON LINE games would be great! Cannot vote, keeps getting a cast error

When I got my NES Mini, my wife SPECIFICALLY asked for Faxanadu. I'm not crazy about the game personally, but it's one that she remembers fondly as a kid.

[Omega-TI]

Oh crud, I forgot to add Pengo to my list! How could I have forgotten THAT!

The clone(?) they did on the C64 called 'Chilly Willy' is a lot of fun, too.

Chilly Willy, that's a name I've not heard since I was a little kid. I believe when I was elementary school I once had a comic book with that little dude.

I don't want to take the thread off the subject but i can give you an hope about this

little preview:

 

[Omega-TI]

Thank you Ciro, the perfect thing to brighten my day as I leave for work!!

[+Schmitzi]

Elevator Action, a really nice game hint hint

 

 

 

[+Schmitzi]

If you don´t know what to choose for, here are some product recommendations

 

 

[digdugnate]

kind of riffing on Asteroids, I thought of Omega Race as well I had that for the C64- so much fun!

[ironnerd]

That feeling you get when you know none of the games you mentioned won't make the cut, but you're still excited about the games that will.

You know, I had the Faxandu map from Nintendo Power on my wall, but I never actually played the game...

[Opry99er]

Fantastic game. I used to have the map as well.... need to find it again.

[+Schmitzi]

Hi Rasmus, what did you vote for ? What is your favorite ?

 

And, from what point of view, playing or programming ?

[Opry99er]

Wow, Galaga is leading the charge?? Is that really the game we most want ported to the TI?

 

Good game and all-- I'm just a bit surprised that it is the most-voted-for game on this list.

[ti99iuc]

yes, i agree Owen, surprised me too... and also for zaxxon i must say...

i really believed that Ghost'n'Goblins or OutRun or Command was the most voted... instead the true is different

[Andrewmacattack]

Ghosts 'n' Goblins would be a dream come true for me, also Zaxxon was a release that should have happen for TI.

Looking forward to seeing what actually gets ported.
