Placing RPG on hold for a bright idea....
« on: July 13, 2009, 07:44:37 AM »
Since Insanity is turning out well..and if it is accepted by everyone and doesnt get bashed to pieces.....

we were thinking about doing an arcade-pack Super CD-ROM with around 5 or 6 suped up classic arcade games...

what does everyone think about this? Is it something you'd be interested in purchasing/playing?

Some ideas for games to do:

Pac-Man**
Joust**
Kangaroo
Blueprint
Jungle Hunt
Keystone Kapers
Pitfall
Seaquest

**= were like 100% sure we want to do those.

Anyone else have suggested titles they would like to see turbo'd up?  We will of course be changing the titles of the games, and reworking them but the general gameplay mechanics will be the same.

Like joust for example, maybe everyone will be on flying kangaroos or bears or something, and be weilding pitchforks instead of lances!  You get the idea

So with that:

What styles of arcade games would you suggest we do!

and as a courtesy: Asteroids is out (MeteorBlaster) and so are Galagas (Cmon we got 2 already) AND Galaxian (Touko has that covered)

The reason for this idea is that it will essentially be a fund raiser to invest a lot of time and production into the RPG, and will also help bolster some skills/tools/etc on these games so that the RPG will go along nicer.  Nothing sucks more than speedbumping in an RPG development

also it will be a better way to establish ourselves and make sure people dig our work and style (for boxarts, manual arts, etc.) before we throw a year and a half into an RPG and then have noone like what comes out it.

I'd definitely nab such a collection, assuming they turn out pretty good and not just hatchet job, low rent homebrews.  Meh, who am I kidding?  I'd buy it anyway.  8)

Pitfall, Elevator Action, and Pac-Man are dang fine picks.  I also wouldn't mind seeing versions of Q*bert, Tank (Combat on the 2600), Frogger, and/or Tempest.

What's AztecWarrior like?  I don't recall hearing of it before and can't find a listing at KLOV.  :-k

It seems Pitfall and Jungle Hunt are really popular choices.  Perhaps they must be done! With some re-"themeing" where needed.

Maybe make it Swamp Hunt and HoleFall, lol.

AztecWarrior ? Never heard of it.  Do you mean Aztec Challenge?

I see you have Joust listed but it doesn't seem to have gotten much love so far.  I loved that game as a kid and it would be nice to see it again.  No matter what you decide to do I'll buy a copy!
All is well. :)

I too would like to express my desire for a Jungle Hunt port on the TurboGrafx-16. All of the titles on your list are sufficient choices. I feverishly await the release of this collection.

Just a point of note: Anything paddle related or trackball related would suck on the PCE with a DPAD.

itd be like Missile Command w/ a joystick.  Total pain.

otherwise we were gonna do Kaboom!

I'd rather see one really nicely polished one rather than a collection of 5 mediocre ones. 

Pitfall would be pretty f*cking awesome.  For improvement, I'd add an "exit" phase after you collect all the treasures so that one can achieve a true ending.
