because the things all address video chips/sound/etc differently, there's not that much gained from having same CPU stuff

Having source is better than not, IMO.

What source?  Lol, I hope you don't mean disassembling a game and using that to port it. That would be like giving someone all the ingredients to make chicken cordon blueruerueru without giving them the recipe.

un-commented disassembled code is a trainwreck.  Anyone who says otherwise is being an arrogant cockface

If it was made in basic, then its not a problem although I doubt it was.

Ultima I was originally in BASIC.  We could steal that and make Amitlu

Could be interesting, but we should give it a graphical upgrade for sure like your Ultima II port. ^^

As was sort of mentioned earlier, while the Apple // and TurboGrafx share an extremely similar CPU, the graphical and audio hardware is not even close. The Turbo is lightyears beyond everything up through the Apple //c+ graphically. Even if you had the Apple // source code to a bunch of games, you'd probably have to rewrite most of the shit anyway. At the very least you'd have to create all new pixel art.

If it was made in basic, then its not a problem although I doubt it was.

The point of porting an Apple // game was the assumed similarity of the architecture, thus (theoretically) minimizing recoding requirements.

If the game in question was written in BASIC, then the former point is rendered moot since BASIC is BASIC and is platform (CPU) independent.
