There were more games on C64 and Nes, about 10k.
On the Spectrum it's only about 6k.
> The question is! What game are we missing?
The kind that I would like to play, despite the fact that I have a PC and a PS2, play
because it’s interesting, and not because the game is for/for the Spectrum, pho time, etc.
Hello, All
Question people!
It's no secret that Spectrum is the leader in the number of games created. I think all sorts of dandies
suck and cry.
This is the question! What game are we missing?
Hello, boo_boo
can he remember that there is no FantasticDizzy?
Hello, boo_boo
boo> *IMHO* it's just as stupid as 7th only even worse... here's 3 to 6
boo> yessss
Nevermind, I had great fun playing it on the Amiga ;)
Hello, goodboy
goo> can remember that there is no FantasticDizzy ?
*IMHO* he’s stupid, like 7th only even worse... but from 3 to 6 it’s yeaaaa
Hello, goodboy
goo> by the way, on the Amiga version there is a status shipment?
goo> I think I saw save/load in the text.
Hmm... maybe in some version it is, but not in the ones I played.
I had to play for 8 hours to get to the end. If there was a shipment, I
I wouldn't suffer so much.
Hello, boo_boo
According to the subject.
IMHO CannonFodder is missing: D Maybe also Alien Breed, but I saw something
similar on spec, although in its pure form it would not hurt.
Hello, goodboy
There are almost no races
for fifteen years now.
Hello, Soplik
To XOR:
The question was asked then to
understand what needs to be done!
Let's remember!!! which version gets the most we will do it for everyone

Hello, FoX FluFFy^s
There haven't been high-quality scroll shooters like zynaps for a long time.

goo> I think I saw save/load in the text.
no. but once you get the hang of it, it really takes 2-3 hours to get by :)
ps. and he's not stupid at all! nice graphics, lots of music, moving
multi-level background (!), imitation morning/day/evening/night, fun & style inserts
puzzle, and of course, huge playing spaces and an ingenious plexus of
pieces of all previous dizzy games.
Hello C-jeff
By the way...
Is there a full-fledged version of WORMS (the ones with bazookas ;)) on the spec?
Hello, boo_boo
ng_> There are no good, modern role-playing games at all. We will fight
To begin with, we need to do at least something in the manner of KQ, since there are descriptions for it, but
there is no trace of him himself. Even in text form, although with current memory it is possible
make a large-pixel engine. To match the original.
Shortline does not yet have an analogue.
Hello fan
Master of Orion I - network modem game :v2_smoke:
Hello axor
Orion - like there was a dema. I even launched it. But this is a demo. Not a game. Although
just Orion type 2 is quite possible. Yes, and you don’t need a network one. Let it alternate
it was possible to play. For starters.
It seems like I saw civilization too. Only Civ-1 on PS wins compared to
Spectrum's playability. (Or it was an analogue of the king bounty. Anyway
The PS version is better).
What if someone wants to do something new, but doesn’t know where to start? Zuma
It won’t work anyway - there are not enough colors and there are too many attributes. If only for
some super mode like 320x200x16...
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
HMM of some kind. III is unlikely, but II is quite possible.
Hello TomCaT
Eck, what was enough - Hmmm... At least the design bureau would have become normal for a start. From it to
in general, HMM then grew. And my son still plays them in turns while he is little.
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
I want a fancy super-fighting game and a new Sim City!!! :v2_rolley
Hello axor
axo> And I want to. Let's do it! Your graphics.
On Neogeo there is simply a HUGE number of them, characters and backgrounds for every taste!!
What I mean is that you can convert it, but the artist can draw on where it is necessary
backgrounds, and fighters' faces/clothing.
Ripping out sprites on Neogeo is a nice thing to do, it’s easy and convenient.
However, for the lazy ones, the internet is already full of pulled out sprites in the form of Gifs,
and not just from fighting games.
I just pumped up 40mb of sprites from one Metal Slug!!
It’s a pity that 4-5 years ago I didn’t have such an opportunity. :(
Otherwise, it was possible to make a bunch of games with cool graphics/animation.
Hello, ice'di^triumph

Hello,GriV
Gri> and I want hl2... when will it be - soon?
you can take a flash decompiler, pull out the graphics and port HL2D to spec.
really
Hello new art
and I want hl2... when will it be - soon? :smile:
Hello,GriV
Easily.
BASIC, top view and sprites in one place. Will it suit you?

If you haven't sent me a DVD yet, then record the graphics from the existing ones (not only
the above game) on this disc. If it doesn't break, of course.
Hello axor
I read the topic and remembered that I had always dreamed of a network (modem, for two) version
Nether Earth. The graphics are 100% satisfactory, well, maybe the sound would be normal
(via AY). Restrictions (field size, number of factories, etc.) are also quite
intelligent: somewhat reminiscent of chess. Management is what you need. But he's playing
The machine is monotonous and cannot be compared with a live player. Well, I wish there were special effects
a little (when a nuclear bomb explodes) and a stylish splash screen... In general,

Hello Conan
I remembered that at one time Inforcom actively promoted the creation
non-deterministic games, that is, games where the situation is almost never repeated, to
for example, strategies and simulators - citing the fact that after going through a regular game to
they rarely return.

For example, for me, as a gamedev, I need a game schedule on the shelves. Those. everything
what is and should be in it. All the ideas and everything. We also need graphics
music. The rest is just a matter of sitting and poring over the toy...
Maybe someone will undertake to make something of a database on games (i.e. there should be
everything I wrote about above), which could (i.e. quite realistically) be done
on Spectrum.
The topic of this section is of course good, but besides listing the names of the games, I,
for example, does not carry anything useful. But it would be something to read about the game,
get excited about her idea... Then one might think whether I could do it or
no.

uniting and dividing an army into parts and leading a bunch of heroes was invented already in WL2,
5 years (or 10 - I don’t remember) before HMM2 appeared. (Under good
balancing, I also understand that almost any game, even at
a super big map could be played in 3-4 hours, and not stretched out for a whole
week). And it’s not to say that the graphics were some kind of super-sophisticated.

a game that died out only due to its complete incompatibility with modern
iron. (And it starts on 486. People said who saved this museum... 8-[
All that remains is to envy...).
Hello axor
Graphics from Warlords - you don't even need to rip them out. Absolutely all pictures
laid out in subdirectories in pcx files. And the animation is in flicks. The sounds are true
in some format unknown to me, but it seemed like it was again
format common at that time. Gameplay is another matter. But unlike that
Same civilization or Master of Orion, the rules are easily visible by eye. Not here
special hidden from the player's eyes. More like chess. So quite
really. You can scour the net, maybe you’ll find something: fan discussions, maybe
even ports for other platforms in the source code. What's not lying around these days?
networks... You just need to know how to search.
Hello, Vladimir Kladov
Strange. Warlords should run under the stump. Maybe the version is messed up?
In general, there are warlords 2, 3, etc. Shouldn't be much different :)
And converting it is really not a big deal. An ordinary wargame, like the sea on
spec (in terms of coding:).
The only thing needed for a successful port is a full description of the combat system...
That is formulas, brother, formulas;)

Whoa! Who will give them? Or will he find it?
Hello axor
Look for "Warlords FAQ". There are a ton of fans of this game online, clubs, games
correspondence/network, descriptions...
