Hi Commie1974,
Pickaxe Pete is an interesting game that is not well known, bringing it to the Amiga should be no harder than any other projects I have done.
Try pressing space bar during gameplay, you will get your graphical wish.
Crazy chase would be fairly easy from this point your right. I might come back to this one day, put I would quite like a fresh new venture for now.
Quest for the rings - An on screen version of the board game I think could be quite easily done. I would leave an option to use the original game also.
All my spectrum work is done using the AGD game engine. It has limitations, this is mostly what stopped K C Munchkin on the Spectrum getting finished so I don't think I would be able to Quest for the rings on it. Some who can code the spectrum properly could probably do it.
Free time is the key. As long as I tell myself "It's finished when it's finished" and don't make any promises to anyone. It doesn't really bother me how long it takes, it's just something to work on when I am in the mood for it.
Who knows what is next, but my mind is bubbling with possibilities at the moment.
Anyway, thanks for the kind words.
