TG-16/TE/TurboDuo Discussion / Re: Games you would like to see made for the Turbo?
« Last post by HuDuo on Today at 11:34:43 PM »On the topic of more realistic requests, I'd love to see a port of Prince of Persia to the Hucard format. Yes I realize a port exists on PCE/TG CD, but that's not the same thing as Hucard. Just about every possible computer, console and handheld of the 80s and early 90s got a port of Prince of Persia, except for the base PCE/TG16 system.
I mention all this because several years ago, the source code to the original Apple //e 128K version of Prince of Persia was put on GitHub by Jordan Mechner. If I knew anything about assembly coding, I'd do it myself... Problem is I don't. All I know is the only easy part is the CPU code could run on PCE nearly unaltered (HuC6280 is fully backwards compatible with the 6502 and 65C02), the big problem comes in with having to port over the graphics and sound which on Apple //e are CPU driven, would pretty much have to fully re-write all that to use the dedicated graphics and sound processors in the PCE.
Me, I wouldn't even mind if the port was basic and looked like the Apple II original, I'd just like to have POP on the last major platform of the era to not get a port (aside from the Atari 7800).

, we'll just have to bring over some games that are strictly known for the Genesis, iver to the Turbob. Especially with the new tools that continue to be developed, Splatterhouse two and three, neither of those would be a problem and they belong on the pce anyways in a manner of speaking.. Probably use Turboxray's HuSlayer engine, but that's just me guessing. Maybe someone else will come up with a different engine that would suit it better.
