Troy_Whelan Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Ok... That's ~32 games, so I think it'd be best splitted into 4 polls à 8 games, with a final 5th poll composed out of the best candidates of each poll of the first run. To be fair, you might want to make 1 of the polls with all remakes. That way people will not have to choose between a 'new' game and a 'remake'. Also, set a deadline for the poll so people don't wait too long and miss out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hi there! To be fair, you might want to make 1 of the polls with all remakes. That way people will not have to choose between a 'new' game and a 'remake'. Also, set a deadline for the poll so people don't wait too long and miss out! One of the 4 polls of the first run will be the block that was filed as remakes. I think after the first round Eduardo should decide what to make of these... I'm setting the limit for the first round to 30 days. Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy_Whelan Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hi there! Done. Hope I made no mistakes... Greetings, Manuel As a big fan of ColecoVision games and OpCode in particular, I want to thank you for doing this! The discussion was great, and now the poll really adds focus. I now need to start saving my money as it looks like there may be quite a few CV games coming for a long time! Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks a lot Manuel! Now that will be fun... I will keep my promise and port the game with the biggest # of votes. But wait, Gez, I forgot Rally-X!!! Gosh... Maybe we could replace Berzerk with Rally-X. The CV already has the excellent Frenzy, so not a big loss here... Would you do it for me Manuel? Hope no one has voted it already... Eduardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Guzzler?! Had never heard about it, but looks like fun anyway. However it looks suspiciously like Konami's Sparkie, which.... well, that's surprise... What's Sparkie? There's no listing in KLOV for it...

Yeah, another very obscure Konami game, though a few sites report it, as well as the Serial# Konami used with it: http://www.system16.com/konami/hrdw_unknow...wn.html#sparkie And here is a pic of the MSX version... In this game your character is a bomb with a fuse. Sparks will pursue you and if you touch one of them, your fuse will be set in fire. Your only hope is to reach one of teh several water buckets before you blow. You need to turn off fire spots in order to go to next stage.

Guzzler is pretty much the reverse - you need to put out the fires that spawn enemies by spitting water at them. You have to "refill" yourself with water after three spits, and each successive spit is faster and shorter after you fill up. I'd be interested in this one.

Jess Ragan Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Here are a few: FIREBALL FINAL FANTASY Hell, as long as we're making absurd requests, I'd love to see this on the ColecoVision, too. The ColecoVision is the same size as the XBox, so it should be able to handle this game, right? JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem would be file size. I havn't seen Halo show up on that format yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaxxon Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Opcode, Please, please, please don't spend time porting common games easily available on other systems or re-making CV games we've already played to death. Good versions of Moon Patrol, Joust and Dig Dug are already available on CV. Make more CV exclusive games. Some vector games that never came out on home systems would've been cool. my quick list: Scramble Wizard of Wor/Gorf Vanguard Crazy Climber Monster Bash Timber Demolition Derby Domino Man Wacko Two Tigers Sarge Future Spy Top Secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most MSX2 games could be almost impossible to downgrade to the MSX1, not without losing a lot of detail. The video capabilities on the MSX2 are far superior and it has 8 times as much video memory as the MSX1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legeek Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Would Mr. Do!'s Wild Ride and/or Do Run Run, be bad candidates? In general, I think classic arcade games not on every other console would be better... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
