Robotron: I thought about this one, but the controls just wouldn't be the same.  Lack of 2 joysticks = :(  and then you'd be using a 2 button pad, and at that point you are basically playing Insanity on Hyper Mode.

Make it support two controllers, rotate the orientation by º90 CCW, problem solved.

I was being kinda sarcastic with Black Tiger, taking the opening post literally. :P At least we got Son Son II.

A primitive hardware based game I'd love to see updated for Turbo is AD&D Treasure of Tarmin. I would gladly provide any art/graphics necessary for a remake of that. :)

  Its going to go with Multiplayer Asteroids

More multiplayer games!  I get a LOT more mileage out of elementary, old school games when there's a second player around.  Your plan to make asteroids compatible with the Turbolink is also a really great marketing idea, encouraging people to buy a second copy.

Well, thats true but then you need a duo-tap or turbo tap and two controllers...

plus I see it being kind of mental as far as feel goes when you are playing.  I could be wrong.  Maybe I will try it out...

lol Tarmin was awesome.  What a game.  Its definitely one of the few games on INTV worth putting up with the controller for.

All of the games will be turbo-linksmart. 


Pong and light cycles over Turbo Expresses will definitely be awesome.  I am currently fiddling with Light Cycle ideas in my head as far as art goes.

They are games I want to retain as much 1980s feel as possible.  As such, I am going in the same vein as Insanity's arcade mode, but a little more polished.

I think Pengo would be a fun game on the Turbo... pushing those blocks of ice into enemies and squishing them while trying to line up 2 diamonds before the imte run out... I used to play the crap out of that arcade machine...

A game that I would think would be rather eay to do would be Cosmic Arc... not much going on in the game in terms of graphics... but I remember playing it a lot as a kid... that and Demon Attack...

I don't care about any sort of remakes or clones (though I'll buy anything Arkhan churns out). What I'd love to see are more original games. Action/platformers/shmups, etc.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

Well fortunately while these are clones, they're spiffed up and shit so its not like youre just buying atari games.  Its not like the 3402392 shooters on PCe are all original, lol.

also, that's not the first time Pengo was suggested.

Love the Chiller and Moon Patrol suggestions.

A few of my old school favorites which weren't mentioned are Pifall 2 (maybe a tad complex), KC Crazy Chase, or Keystone Capers.

What? No support for Dig Dug? How about Qix, or Q-bert? Or even the original Mario Brothers (not Super at all).

Come to think of it, a remake of the old Atari console game Combat could be pretty awesome, too. I played that quite a bit.
