I agree about that.. There hasn't been a single case I'm aware of where adding more colours made a Bitmap Bros game look better? It'd just be the same but with more ramps, but their palette is a big part of what gives the games their atmosphere? Genuinely beautiful games already.
Lotus on the other hand as a really colourful game with no particularly strong "style" I can see why you might want to add more colours. |

In Speedball 2 they tried to add more red/orange as the original was very blue, but it failed. Still I'd love to see a less bland palette. Quote:

Lotus AGA gets my vote!
A full-screen version with different coloured IA cars already sounds like a great improvement! Along with maybe better copper sky, better controls (not up for accelerate!) and cd audio for a CD version. As much as i love Lotus 2 i still go back to Lotus for the lap nature and pitstops of the first game! |

I forgot you have the Lotus source code, do you have the Lotus 2 source code?
probably not but wishful thinking asLotus 2 is a much better candidate for improving just because its full screen but sfx only, mixing music and audio eould be huge improvement along with having different coloured cars. I don't count Lotus 3 as it tried too much but did neither track racing nor stage racing well |

I agree, but as explained earlier in other threads, Lotus 2 source got lost... The only source code I got from Codetapper (who got it from Shaun Southern) is for
Lotus, Lotus 3, Supercars 2. |

Oh, you have code for Lotus 3? That would be a better base version to add more colours just because of the full screen, could add the audio tracks from 1 also. Could change the player car to a Ferrari also

ScummVM is already covering a lot of Lucas & Sierra stuff. Not sure how slow it is compared to the original interpreters though. And do they require RTG? I think they work natively on AGA.

(graphics can be replaced too as they need to be extracted to add more planes anyway, so in theory they could be changed completely as long as the number of frames and dimensions & palette are the same) |

That said, Dune would be on top of my whishes. (I know it's not on the list thought). I was always jealous of the fine dithered sky in the VGA version. And what about Lands of Lore ? I seems to remember that you were working on it but maybe I'm confusing things. Last edited by sokolovic; 30 December 2022 at 19:51. |
