Since we are all throwing out our opinions here. Personally i don't get peoples fascination with the quake games. Quake 1 and 2, doom 1 and 2 all use the same basic weapons and concept as wolf 3d did. For me, i would rather play wolf 3d any day as it did it better, and first. Morrowind is an excellent game that requires alot of patience. The depth of the game is mind numbing and is not for the button mashing weekend warrior.  If any body does port over turrican i will wrestle arkhan for the right to hit that delete button.  And for my final rant, the catacomb games were great and i believe would look good on the turbo.

Quake 1 and 2 are basically the real sequels to Doom, since Doom 3 sucked.

The difference with the Doom/Quake games is they present a darker atmosphere due to lighting effects, and varied heights...

and take place in space/hell/awesome.

Catacomb would be an excellent game to port to the PCE, but it is one that would require effort.  Raycasting is srs bidnis.

I actually like the idea of a Contra port. I still think a good "point & click" game would be a worthy candidate. Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tenticle, Monkey Island, etc.

I also like how Ultima is staying hot on the heels of Keen in the poll. I think they were even tied for a couple days. Awesome.

Games like gunstar heroes, metal slug, and contra are definately some of my favorites. I would prefer to see a turbo original along these same lines that we could call our own, than a port. the turbos sprite capabilities would make for some crazy action in such a game i would think.

Btw Arkhan, not to nitpick but... the original DOOM didn't have slopes.

Uhh, what?  I'm pretty sure I've seen Slopes in Doom, and not just staircases, and not just in the source ports.

Otherwise what you said about the engine is pretty accurate.

You see slopes in the logical, obvious, mathematical sense (lots of steep stairs = slope).

but from a goony technical hoojoo level building/environment standpoint, there are no actual slopes.


It has slopes in the textbook mathematical sense with Riemann sums, and with player travel.  Otherwise, when you walk off a platform, you'd fall straight down.

It's nitpicking and depends how you are looking at it.

Nonono, I mean, I could swear I've seen slope-slopes.  Like ramps and stuff.  I'm sure its not limited to just stairs.

As soon as I get home I'll look.

Nope, the ramps are just a buncha stairs jammed together.

The closest thing youll get to slopes is angular non square rooms.

If I'm going to port a FPS, it will be Descent (even though its not a FPS in a traditional sense). Enough said.

I know I am ^^ Thats way down the road though and I'm almost positive it can only be done with the arcade card. At this point, if I can get a title screen for Commander Keen, I'll be very happy indeed. ^^

Well, I wouldn't say licensing is a problem, anyone can make them in the privacy of their own home.  However, AFAIK, no one has done either of these yet, but those are high on my list.  I want to see them be like the NES versions, but with the arcade gfx.

The arcade card adds more ram, not more power.

You need a faster CPU to perform Descent power.
