Future Game Adaptions Suggestions Thread

complicated · 12-03-2023, 19:08:24

I thought it would be fun to make a thread about suggesting good games that not yet been adapted. Most quality titles are already done but perhaps we can find a few gems not yet done?

I know atm atleast 1 quality game not yet adapted and that is:

Judge Dredd:

http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-judge-dredd_9700.html

The Atarimania files seems fine after some testing, can also use this cheat to jump the levels for testing:

*** Judge Dredd Cheat ***

In terminal enter: BRUCKEN PLAYING HERO QUEST

Type: EXIT

When game starts push "HELP" for level skip.

I DL-et it from atarimania couple years ago, and looked in . Special format, so needs more time. I will deal with it, not right now, couple weeks later.

Perhaps this one:

A decent card game?

Done. Cards adapt

A few more suggestions:

NARC:

Night Raider:

Hound of Shadow:

Links pointing to STX images made from my own originals and should be perfect without bad or fuzzy sectors, except from copy protections ofc.

Night Raider is same as Dive Bomber, what is on my site, ready to DL .
Really need to put that aka list on some good visible place.

Hound of Shadow: started with it few years ago, then it went on wait list.

NARC: will see to do it soon. Did not look as some chear up game for me :-)

I will look it up better next time since there is quite a few games with different names.

Hound of Shadow seems complicated cause it needs a character disk at startup, haven`t got i to work in Steem.

NARC, perhaps not the coolest game on the planet but still an Ocean quality game which deserves a HD adaption imo.

Steve Davis World Snooker:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1llUGcSkLOLtREOZAhDvx0TrYLsaqwuYP

Good snooker game, not even close to Jimmy White Snooker ofc but still quite nice. Perfect STX image from my personal original. Game crashes with 4MB installed, i`ve heard of something called the 4MB bug?

Chess Simulator:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/16tI-aGZnPFasW-fR7g3ozWlUlZW4NN7g

Uses the same engine as Chess Player 2150 (already adapted) but with different graphics. It also has 2 program files, one for english and one for french. I personally like this version more than CP2150.

STX from my personal original.

Out Run (STE enhanced version)

http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-out-run-ste_35456.html

"Improved version with faster framerate, STe colour palette and some improved sprites converted from the coin-op version."

Petari · 24-03-2023, 08:06:58

Just one notice: giving some feedback about done adaptations would be very nice and useful, motivating.

At moment I hate it :-) It has some bugs right at beginning: crash with 4 MB RAM. Bad IKBD control code, combined with bad XBIOS $19 usage - they had no good literature, DOCs ..
So, it needs first some fixes, then can go on solving all those character creation, scenery disk swap problems ...

Petari · 27-03-2023, 17:59:39

I spent more time with Hound of Shadow. It is just not well made. Creating character is way too long, need to pass plenty of screens with some skill settings .
Better is to start game with scenery disk (B), and play with predefined character.
So, if I will deal with this at all it will be starting scenery disk files. With possible option to run character creation as separate program, what will save to character disk, and then will need to exit and run scenery disk launcher.
I already fixed IKBD code - well partially, as it is total mess. Does not work well under all TOS versions, and even RAM size matters . Fortunately my TOS 1.04 in RAM will solve those problems. Will need 2 MB RAM.
Game works from floppy with 512 KB RAM, but user needs to make mouse cursor (hand) working by some yank :-)
I went over plenty of games, and never seen so much silly things.
