What game do you wish had gotten a sequel (or even prequel) in the Amiga days and how do you think it should have differed from the original?

I would have loved to have seen Cadaver 2. Im sure the Amiga was capable of a much improved looking and more varied in depth game by the end if its commercial life.

Also I would have loved to have seen an official Xenon 3. This game was quite old by the end of the Amigas days and Im sure a much better version of this already classic shooter could have been done with better visuals faster gameplay and another awesome soundtrack.

I would've want to see a BETTER sequel to It came from the desert... Antheadz sucks. It's basically just the same thing (maybe I just didn't play it far enough). A great disappointment for a guy who loved part1. But maybe it's just considered a 'mission pack' or 'add-on'? I believe it was a standalone...

Although I was blown away by Ray Poker 200mk (the sequel to Ray Poker 100mk), it would have been much nicer if they'd really pushed the envelope and given it the proper treatment it so richly deserved.

Whats this game about Twist? I'm too lazy to Googleise this one!

jmmijo · 24 July 2003, 03:51

I'm thinking that had Defender of the Crown II been properly published and marketed, it would have been great

I'm sorry the whole mess with CBM and the author went sour like it had

Breathtaking stuff, this.

BTW, the EAB HOL tags are now broken under the new HOL...

The original Antheads is an add-on, upgrading your ICFTD disks.

manicx · 24 July 2003, 08:55

Turrican 4! I will never get bored with this game even if it ever reached no10!!!

My understanding from Interceptor is that it used the first disk of ICFTD to create a completely new 3 disk set onto blanks which were then used to play the game.

But, yes, certainly an addon.

Of course, if you only ever had the crack - you would never have known this.

Cadaver 2 - I couldn't agree more!

Personally I would have liked to have seen Super Cars III with more upgrades weapons etc, better graphics and sound, and different tracks - but the same game engine! Since it rocks as it is.

There was a PC game that came pretty close, and it even got away with being 3D... just. It was called Ignition: http://www.csoon.com/issue28/ignishot.htm

Unfortunately, it didn't really persue the gaining money and upgrades focus that Super Cars II did, and hence there wasn't really much replay value IMHO.

Mr Creosote · 24 July 2003, 12:12

I'm quoting from the original box of Antheads: "It Came From The Desert II Data Disk". Leaves everything unclear, doesn't it?

Since you need the original ICFTD to play Antheads, I consider it a data disk which was just called "ICFTD2" for commercial reasons, though.

I would love to see a proper Flashback 2, not F2B in 3D. I guess F2B was okay and everything but I'd rather have had mroe 2D gaming than the 3D they produced.

manicx · 24 July 2003, 13:03

Well, OnEscapee is certainly something that fulfils your needs then. Pure computer art!!!

killergorilla · 24 July 2003, 13:09

Gotta go with Flashback 2. I simply loved that game to death.

Never got so involved in a story line at that age until I played flashback, it was sooooo smooth.

Flashback 2 should be 2D and awesome just like the original

MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Dastardly · 24 July 2003, 13:32

Ive gotta agree with Flashback as well. if ever a game merited a sequel then this is it.

Steve · 24 July 2003, 13:56

mmmm...

Rise of the Robots 2: It's Playable This Time (Honest)

... drool

killergorilla · 24 July 2003, 14:04

There is already a rise of the robots sequel!

It's called resurrection and it's on the Playstation.

Here's a review of it:

http://www.highervoltage.net/HerV4/reviews/193/

They like it at much as we like the original

blackcornflake · 24 July 2003, 14:33

A follow-up to Naughty Ones would have been most welcome, as while the original is truly a first class platformer, it is alas quite short and quickly completed.

And hey, they could have even called a sequel 'Naughtier Ones'. Genius.

killergorilla · 24 July 2003, 14:48

They should make a sequel to Roadkill.

That game was great. Make it two player, add in some music (I always thought it went a bit quiet after the massive build up at the start)

Keep in the DESTROY HIM and TAKE HIS LIFE but make em scarier!!!!

Roadkill 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the wolf · 25 July 2003, 00:42

I read somewhere Psygnosis had to make Leander 2... never see a screenshot, but if they had planned to do it, it's a pity that this game never see the light...
