Games that you wished were converted to the Amiga. - Page 5

That makes us 3

There is only ONE Rockman game I like, and that is Rockman and Forte for the SNES (a.k.a. Megaman 9). Why do I like it? Because I can skip playing with that gay Megaman and play with the BADASS Forte

The other killer Rockman games are the arcade ones (which I quite like but most hate): Rockman Power Battle and Rockman Power Fighters. The NeoGeo Pocket Color conversion is quite great, including both games in one cart! Now they could have ported these to the Amiga!

Another...game...that...would...have...been...good...on...Amiga...

(Notice how I speak with hesitation, because the last time I did this I was informed the game I was talking about had indeed been converted- see above)!

Alien vs Predator- the arcade by Capcom.

A really intense bash-em-up, where you get to play not one, but TWO predators! Plenty of moves, cool characters and sick graphics made this one of my fav arcades.

Shatterhand · 16 October 2001, 05:26

I'm yet to cross someone who beated that last boss from MMX 4..

I am sure Alien vs Predator was never released for Amiga. I don't know why, I really never liked those walking beat em ups from capcom too much...

RetroMan · 16 October 2001, 09:03

Another game came just to my mind, that I would like to see converted : NECTARIS (a.k.a Millitary Madness) from the PCE

It´s one of my favourite strategy titles of all time .... ok, you have Battle Isle and such games on Amiga, but they haven´t got the flair of the original

stainy · 28 October 2001, 00:37

Have no idea why this was never ported ( at least ) for the Amiga

Ian · 28 October 2001, 01:46

I would have loved to see any descent Japanesse style RPG converted.

But I suppose they weren't really fashionable in England until Final Fantasy 7 come out

so none were converted.

Shatterhand · 28 October 2001, 02:46

I've just remembered other game I would like to see
Fantasy Zone , from the arcades
the Mega-Drive has a great version of it

Drake1009 · 28 October 2001, 09:37

Chrono trigger could've been nice.

Another game from my C64 I'd like to have seen was Trashman. It was simple but I spent a lot of time on that game.

Or what about secret of Mana?

Tim Janssen · 29 October 2001, 16:04

A C64 game I really would like to see on Amiga is Bouncer by Gremlin Software in 1985. This is a vertical scrolling game where you control a bouncing ball. The only aim of the game is to make it to the top while avoiding gaps and some baddies. –A very compulsive game.

Kodoichi · 29 October 2001, 16:15

Mario's Picross

I have 2 games for MAME with the same gameplay, but I'd like to see such a game for Amiga.

Amiga1992 · 29 October 2001, 19:18

Yeah! A nonogram game! Picros is excellent.

Hey this would make for a great project... how about we making a picros game?

Shatterhand · 30 October 2001, 07:42

Erm..
What is a nonogram game?

Actually the name of the game is Bounder , and it's indeed a GREAT game, although a little to hard, and the music just rocked... There's also a sequel called Rebounder , where the screen scrolls horizontally...it's also a great game

Tim Janssen · 30 October 2001, 11:07

Agh, of course the game is called BounDer. How could I forgot!

Rebounder you said? I am currently downloading the game for my C64 emulator.
Let the good times roll...

Drake1009 · 30 October 2001, 13:44

I remember a C64 game called something along the lines of bouncer or something. It was a very curious game. Each of you had a knigh (or sorts) and were attached to your own side with an elastic. A ball would bounce around the playarea. You could catch that and shoot it at your enemy with your sword. Or you could try to knock your enemy down with your sword. You couldn't kill the other one, the game was on time and you just had to score points. When you were thrown to the floor the elastic would pull you towards the wall again (and would too if you went too far towards the middle of the screen and then stopped moving forward). I really had a lot of fun time playing this game. That's a game I wouldn't mind seeing a conversion of on the Amiga.

Tim Janssen · 15 November 2001, 11:48

To my surprise I have found out that the game I wished it would be converted, Bounder, has a clone on Amiga: Spaceballer! I have read a review of this game at Kultpower.
Does anyone else know this game?

Twistin'Ghost · 15 November 2001, 14:06

Space Baller is in the zone. Possibly the first internet presence of this adf? I certainly didn't have one, so I had to dig into my DMS stash yet again. Note the use of Depeche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough" on the soundtrack (pretty sure that's the song...)

Tim Janssen · 15 November 2001, 14:42

Twistin',
Thanks for uploading Space Baller so quickly in The Zone.
It seems I have trouble downloading the game. The ZIP-file cannot be found.

Twistin'Ghost · 15 November 2001, 14:53

Must be the umlat in the filename. I'll reupload it without that character.

BTW: must be (yet another) IE shortcoming since the original upload downloads fine in Netscape.

16 November 2001, 01:46

i would have loved to see FIST II converted..

Point Blank is brill too.

Both the arcade and PSX versions are very well done.

Speaking of PSX Time Crisis, what did you think of the PSX-exclusive "follow-up", Time Crisis: Project Titan?

And do you know that Time Crisis 2 is out on the PS2 now?

Haven't played it meself, but I'm unsure as to how they can make it as good as the arcade version, what with the lack of the original multi-screen madness.
