swapd0 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 None, I prefer original games or remakes not just a port. Although some Atari ST ports are great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Why do you want to see games ported to a system you don't even own, seems a bit random? For me I'd also prefer to see original content. Theres some real quality homebrew games being made for the jag which are far superior to some of the 30 year commercial games being ported. Take Custodian as an example I bought it and it's a total shocker. Just my opinion but I totally wasted my money I should have copied it on to a 10p floppy and tried it out first. My bad. I bought Defender of the Crown and Speedball 2, both of which are great games but after playing them and comparing them to the Amiga and CDTV versions I've got they are definitely (imho) inferior. In these cases though as my jag is by my TV and the computers are upstairs speedball will at least get some play when me and my mates have had a few brews.

Custodian is only a few years old, just FYI. It's not among the orignal commercial releases. I'm curious though - which homebrews do you rate above which commercial releases?

I hate to see Custodian bashed, my daughter loves that game and asks to play it every time I happen to be playing the Jaguar. As for homebrews... I'd have to say Impulse-X... much better game than Breakout. But many awesome homebrews, like Rebooteroids, and Freefall+ is also an excellent game. Many of the games from Carl Forhan are really good. That most recent release (mind is failing me here), Switchblade? ... by Piko? That's a great game too.

He probably means original games like e.g. The Last Strike by Reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious though - which homebrews do you rate above which commercial releases? I'm referring to Custodian being a commercially developed game which has been ported, I know the ports only a couple of years old but the game itself was developed in 1989 by a commercial software house. As for Homebrew Rebooteroids is better than about 80% of the jag library, Downfall + is close to this proportion too.

Also not Outrun is another homebrew I'm excited about Edited June 13, 2020 by Swansea_Mariner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I think Retroguru had Black Forest Games blessing for their Giana Sisters titles. Probably helps if the port isn't for profit. https://www.retroguru.com/gianas-return/ I guess what I'm saying is, it's more possible than not to get permission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Rosa Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Rise of the Dragon. A "neo noir" graphic adventure game that was on DOS, Amiga, and SEGA CD. If it were to ever appear, I'd be delighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there's a version now that's updated a little for STE features. So it does scroll and has different sound if i'm not mistaking. As it still uses ST graphics it's not on par with the Amiga version or C64 actually that have some assets that are animated and on ST are stills (like the water). ( I just noticed the Amga version doesn't have animated water either, so we must beg for the C64 port then ? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
