Placing RPG on hold for a bright idea....

[Arkhan]

wellt he goal is to make sure theyre not Atari 2600 quality, lol.  If there is no extra incentive then its not worth it

I have it now though

Kangaroos w/ Jetpacks for joust, instead of birds.  and call it Joustaroo!

I am dead serious too

[termis]

Haha, that'd be original enough to warrant a purchase!

Reminds me of these kangaroos that I recently came across -- they think they're supermodels.   I'm sure they'd love to be in another game.

[Arkhan]

Yes .   Where possible, I would like to make the games a little more interesting.  Like Joustaroo. 

Theyd be arcade game remakes with a twist.

What would you guys say about that?  If the games were like the originals gameplay wise, but possibly have some quirk to em.

yknow, like Joust becoming cartoony and featuring kangaroos...

Venture, Spiderman(2600), River Raid, Pitfall 2, California Games(the 2600 version rules, seriously, if only for the BMX!), Adventure(the first RPG EVA!), Air Sea Battle, Choplifter, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Food Fight, Home Run, Moon Patrol, Mousetrap.  Out of all of those, my top picks are Venture, Spiderman, California Games, Air Sea Battle, Food Fight, & Moon Patrol.

Venture-Big ol smiley face running around with an arrow sticking out of his ear, great game, call it Smiley Joe's Adventure's in the Congo of Death!
Spiderman-does whatever a spider can, crawls up walls, stick with webs, call it Whiplashman, or the Adventures of Hooklad!
California Games-do I need to introduce this one?  Seriously though, based on the 2600 version, I love playing the BMX over & over, call it Florida Olympics or Surf Bike Hackysack Skate or Perish!
Air Sea Battle-multi player fun for hours, call it Heir See War or Oxygen Yes Conflict ot Error Z Fight!
Food Fight-needs no intro, call it Lunch Punch or Dinner Flinger, or Breakfast Bar Fight!
Moon Patrol-is legendary, call it Saturn Scout or Crater Crawl or Jupiter Stroll,

[Sinistron]

Venture, Spy Hunter, Elevator Action, Pitfall, Jungle Hunt, Bump n' Jump, and Burger Time

since you're already doing Insanity, a port of Berzerk, why not do a port of Frenzy, the sequel to Berzerk?

Also, it might be difficult, but how about a Robotron:2084 port? (that would require a lot of sprite pushing, and I don't remember how many the PCE can do)

[jboypacman]

Moon Patrol,Crazy Climber,Donkey Kong,Star Castle,Teeter Torcher(Exidy proto-type),King and Balloon,Mouse Trap.LadyBug and Q*Bert.

There are just tons of arcade classics really i would love to see on the old PCE.

robotron wouldnt be fun without 2 joysticks   Itd play like Insanity with no walls basically.

as for frenzy , The only real difference is there are two robot pictures and you can knock walls open...which often isn't that useful anyways lol and BULLET DEFLECTING!   Thatd be interesting maybe....   Id feel like im ripping everyone off if I do Frenzy   Though Insanity mooches a bit of it's design since the robots move fast.  They don't move too fast in Berzerk really.

plus, if i use the frenzy slot for a different game, we can get more diverse arcade doom on the PCE :-D


The suggestions that are piling up are really good so far.  I might turn this into a poll soon.

We have a pacman spoof, joust spoof, and jungle hunt spoof for the win so far.

Venture, Moon Patrol, Pitfall and Elevator Action have come up repeatedly also.

Elevator Action I thought could be called Hotel Heist and be in a futuristic setting like Robocop.  All apocolypse style.  Hotel full of cyborgs.  You shoot a lazer ,its all sci fi lookin....

but you still drive away in a dopey looking get away vehicle. 

[nodtveidt]

Pitfall 2 and River Raid!

[hoobs88]

I would like to see either the 5-in-1 Famicom Collection or the 6-in-1 Famicom Collection that were featured as prototypes on PCECP.com

O_?   never seen that.

This sounds like a great idea, remakes are always fun (I've been involved in a couple of Spectrum remakes in the past, including Cybernoid which I am particularly proud of) and remaking simpler games is less stressfull than going full-out on an RPG that will take years to complete!

If I can be of help in any way, however small, please let me know.

[Arkhan]

Hey man, just putting the games up on your site would rule pretty hard.

[sunteam_paul]

Hey man, just putting the games up on your site would rule pretty hard.

I might have to do a listing for homebrew games...although I'm ashamed to admit I don't actually own any.

Well, youll own Insanity and the arcade CD for sure ...
