Games you want to see on the iPhone?

[blakespot]

The launch of "iPhone 2.0" and the iTunes App Store will take place in late June. On that day, purchasing a game for the iPhone can be done quickly, easily, and from just about anywhere.

On day one, many games will be available for download and many more will be coming in the weeks and months (and years) ahead.

Which games do you want to see land on the iPhone platform? Any old school classics or modern favorites you're dying for?

Worms ^^ 2D version ("worms 2"-like, something like N-Gage port) ... and guess what... it may happen, Team 17 said something about it just after march 6:

http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/handheld-accessories/iphone-gaming-worms-on-the-way-259328

But my true wish "Rez" port by Sega, best beat game i ever seen ^^ Sample:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwWWkgx2Stc

Why not use touch in this game? ;]

[jatt_american]

i would like to see some type of Fighting game like motal kombat not really the same title but something in fighting genre and another one will be the most anticipated from my point of view will be DOOM. ;)

[arn]

Sony's Wipeout would be one that I think would "feel" right on the iPhone. It's another racing type game, but somehow the use of accelerometer seems like it would work out just right.

[Project-79]

I think someone should make an NHL game for the iPhone (And yes, I am Canadian :D)

The controls would be simple. You use the accelerometer to move your player around. To shoot, you flick the screen in the direction you want to shoot, and do a down then up motion for slap shots (very similar to NHL 08 skill stick). To pass, you just slide your finger in the direction of the player you want to pass to to. Other various moves:

Change player: double tap
Check Player: tap other team's player
Poke Check: hold finger down on touch screen


BTW, Anyone can use my idea (I don't have a mac, so I can't program this). Just PM me if you are going to use my idea (and put me in the credits!!!).

All comments are welcome (don't flame me if you don't like my idea, please!).

Good notion. I'm a huge Wipeout fan ( obviously (http://flickr.com/photos/blakespot/2379757063/in/set-72157604341850766/) ). Tilt control could add to the game. We might get a taste for this in the soon-to-be-released Wipeout HD coming for the Playstation 3, as the SIXAXIS controller is accelerometer-equipped. Would love to see the franchise land on the iPhone.

But...it's unlikely. Sony owns Psygnosis who is behind Wipeout. And...well...you know who makes the PSP...

I'd not mind seeing a simple game of accelerometer-controller Lunar Lander on the iPhone / iPod touch.

[Shadowriver]

i would like to see some type of Fighting game like motal kombat not really the same title but something in fighting genre and another one will be the most anticipated from my point of view will be DOOM. ;)

Making the fighting game for touch screen might be difficult ;> someone need to invent good fighting input first for touch screen only device. Visual buttons are simply to flat and slow.

I'd not mind seeing a simple game of accelerometer-controller Lunar Lander on the iPhone / iPod touch.

I think we gonna see it ^^ and i think it will be free ;]

[jatt_american]

that would be a challenge for the developers to sell the fighting game with the on screen buttons. i personally don't like onscreen control but i am sure there might be a solutions... ;)

[Shadowriver]

Well we got Namco on-board already ;p they except making arcade games, they mostly do fighting games, they got 2 great series in there hands ^^: "Tekken" and "Soul Calibur/Edge" i don't think they are keep makeing Sony exclusives, they already made ones Soul Calibur launch product for DreamCast ;p well the only problem is still... controls on touch screen only device ;>

[Bigwig]

I'm looking forward to Sega's Super Monkey Ball.

[JosephmWood]

i would love to see Grim Fandango on the iPod Touch. Grim Fandango would translate so easily. Anyone else? LucasArts games would be perfect, they already got Day of the Tentacle and so on.....Grim Fandango is next!

[TheOrioles33]

I'm a dork. I would like to see a good bowling game. :)

I second that.

[brengla]

Hi all,

I think Katamari would be brilliant. I also think that Loco Roco would be excellent. Best of all though? Lemmings. They made it for Palm, so why not the iphone I the iPod touch?

[Shadowriver]

Yeah, Lemmings would be cool.... but theres a problem, same as WipeOut, Lemmings is creation of Psygnosis owned by Sony (creator of PSP ;p)... so if market will treat iPhone OS as a gaming platform, we would not see Lemmings on it.

[Jeav93]

i'm expecting to see something decent, with proper graphics and gameplay...

[Jake666Jimmy]

There is an online game called LineRider that would be an excellent game for the iPhone. They are currently porting the game to the DS and the Wii, so why not Apple's new platform?

[Shadowriver]

Well theres one problem... iPhone OS platform don't have precise pointing input such as DS Stylus or Wiimote... oh well but why not try touch ;p

[dbldare]

Maybe something like a simple pac-man deal? Some of the 80's games would be fun. If we are talking racing - Pole Position?? ahhh the good 'ol days!

I just discovered a perfect game for iPhone OS... LocoRoco
It's about rolling the gravity to roll they gloomy things around ;p see on video so you know what i mean

This game could own on iPhone with accelerometer usege o.o Toob ad that Sony was first >.<

[coolfrost]

Check this site http://www.robosoftin.com/iphone
They are developing games for the iPhone

[friekunater]

monopoly

wheel of fortune

wiimote-like bowling (?)

Sims

KingdomGame native app



super monkey ball's guna rock!!!!

[Trahannn]

a simple turn-base rpg, ping pong, the sims.

i hope there will be online multiplayer on some games.

[ProdigalGamer]

As a long time lover of all turn based strategy I would love to see something like the Final Fantasy tactics games or even the Tactics Ogre games. I think it's the perfect platform to just pick it up, play a few turns, then move on. Someone has to be doing this, right?

[transer]

A nice RPG would be great, esp. with an online option.

A good trivia game. Heck, even the music one that's on the traditional iPods would be nice. Internet access will mean the ability to get new content, which will be nice.


Multiplayer-I've used games like Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit with friends on my Treo, and it's been great to have a way to play together while waiting around.


I also agree with an earlier poster, Wipeout would be perfect....but as mentioned, I suspect that won't make it to the iPhone b/c of Sony =/

[MattGTO]

Lets see a First-Person WWII game, possible a take on BF1942...that CAN work on the iPhone, technically speaking, and a Nascar or street racing game...no fantasy racing crap like CroMag.

If Apple open access to songs for SDK apps we may see port of Song Summoner by Squere Enix for iPhone/touch :>

[chrisb3]

I'd love to see ports of Nethack and Space Trader for the iPhone/Touch. Some kind of turn-based RPG or war game would be great too.

[chrisb3]

If Apple open access to songs for SDK apps we may see port of Song Summoner by Squere Enix for iPhone/touch :>

There are apps that allow for your music library to play while the app is running. Trism and Cube Runner are 2 apps that come to mind that allow this.

[Trahannn]

Vay is an rpg out right now, but I can't play it until I get some money. It's $4.99

[chrisb3]

Vay is an rpg out right now, but I can't play it until I get some money. It's $4.99

Wow! Where'd that come from? I've been scouring the app store for days and this is the first time I've seen this app. And the app store page for it says it was released on July 6!

[matt]

Ugh I could of been playing Vay for a few days now, thanks Apple for a confusing App Store!

[Gregz0r]

I'd like to see a lot more bona fide retro classic arcade titles, such as Sega's OutRun, Power Drift & Super Monaco GP. Also, arcade classics like R-Type, Track & Field, Pole Position, etc, but not at the £5.99($9.99) price point. I feel that's a little too high for these older titles. I'd be more happy with £2.99.

I have these all in MAME on my PC, but it'd be sooo much cooler to have them portable :D

[matt]

What about Panzer Dragoon? It would be perfect because its a rail shooter and the controls would be great. Tap the screen to shoot turn it left and right to change your view.

[Phineaspoe]

1. A well thought out RTS. Touch screen would make it easy to implement.

2. Guitar Hero/Rhythm music game - easy to implement and play on the go

[Trahannn]

did anyone try out the Vay game? is it good?

[YoungChris]

How about a Lego Star Wars

[sdragon]

did anyone try out the Vay game? is it good?

I quite like it, but then again I like RPGs.

[Mr Skills]

I would absolutely love to see an iPhone version of Carrier Command (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvuh6aIKkPk).

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6c/ST_Carrier_Command.png

Everything about the iPhone's control system would be perfect for it, from accelerometer-controlled flight to the carrier controls which could almost have been designed for a touchscreen.

:)

[versemicroverse]

Has anyone mentioned Joust?
I'd like to see that!

Need an RPG, perhaps along the lines of Baldur's Gate. You know, DnD based, fantasy adventure. I guess I would settle for WoW. lol

[transer]

2. Guitar Hero/Rhythm music game - easy to implement and play on the go


Try Tap Tap Revenge. Free rhythm game, I like it quite a bit so far....

[ryanb]

I would love to see Blizzard throw there hat in and port the first Diablo

[YoungChris]

I would love to see Blizzard throw there hat in and port the first Diablo
Diablo would be an amazing game for the iPhone seeing as all you need is a mouse to play that game, you could use the touch screen to attack

[girlgeek101]

I have always wanted to be able to get French products (audibooks, games for iPod) from iTunes and have been frustrated by it's unability to sell French versions of things unless you are in the France site - and then it tells you that US members can't buy that. I hope that the App Store unites all the languages - maybe a filter to select; English, Spanish, French, German etc. so that you can get to the foreign language games easier. Even better would be that the App Store responds to the current language setting of the phone and offers the apps accordingly to the setting.....

This has always been missing in iTunes in my opinion. It seems that they don't get that a lot of foreigners live in America.

Favorite Games: FADE (strategy/role play), Motus (word game), Blockbuster (breaks up bricks using a paddle that bounces them back up toward the bricks)

Thanks for everything.

[OmniGeno]

As others have pointed out, I'd like to see song summoner ported to the Touch so I can actually play it. More RPGs like Vay(which I'm going to buy pretty soon) would be awesome. A hack and slash game like diablo, as one other has mentioned, or a Zelda clone would be fantastic.

But honestly, the first game that came to mind when I saw this thread title was Patapon, which is out for PSP. Patapon is a sidescrolling rhythm/strategy-war game that would, at least at first glance, be perfect for the Touch/iPhone.

btw, this is my first post here. Thanks for the great site!

[TheBird]

a touch screen version of diablo 1 or 2 would make a killing. I can only hope blizzard finds a way to do it.

[Le Chuck]

starfox- the original for snes is still one of my favourite games ever, would love to see somthing similar.

GTA!!!

Marble madness, had almost forgotten it!

need for speed?

are final fantasy playstation exclusive? othervise one of those would be great to!

a new lucas arts adventure or two..

[djalice]

I would love to see a good 2D/3D platform game in the vein of Mario Bros. & Rachet & Clank.

Also someone mentioned 'Wipeout' which would be awesome! I don't think the Sony connection would be a problem as isn't 'Crash Bandicoot' an in house development? and that's on the iPhone.

Alice

[pakkman781]

1. Scorched Tanks, Pocket Tanks, whatever.
2. Plasma Pong (yes, I know the obvious obstacles)
3. Ragdoll Masters
4. Gish
5. Peggle (they said it was coming, but it's not there yet!)
6. Chuzzle
7. Heavy Weapon (another popcap game)

Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head...

[OmniGeno]

I'd also like to add that it might be interesting to be able to use the touch or iPhone as a wireless or wired game controller on the computer. I know that without tactile feedback it might not make a whole lot of sense, but I can think of a couple situations where it might work.

Another game idea, any SNES rpg or a star fox type space/air combat sim.

[jpyre]

Operation Wolf
Lethal Enforcers
Virtua Cop
Silent Scope
that areosmith game :)
House of the Dead
Panzer Dragoon (someone already said that)


Basicly any arcade shooter, aim the iphone down reeeal quick for a reload and point away ;)

[RogueOps]

I didn't read through all the pages but I read through the first 4 or so...I think a great game for the touch screen would have to be

PORTAL!

I like cake and companion cubes!

Time Crisis Would be a good one too cause you don't control the movement you just shoot and reload

[foxxxy79]

Shenmue from the Dreamcast would be an awesome game for the iPhone. Some others I would like to see are Madden and Tiger Woods from EA. Also, I would like to see Zuma.

[Ape_Man]

I would like to see some old Amiga and 80's type games.

Here is a list of games I used to love that would be brilliant on the touch screen.

Turn based, old school, RPG's would just be perfect for the touch interface.. I used to love the Phantasie series and the Dragonlance games. Phantasie III for the win for me.

Don't forget Dungeon Master.

Ports of Call. I used to play this for hours with friends.

Marble Madness! This game was made for the iPhone, just 25 years early.

Any of the LucasArts games. The Scumm engine would translate beautifully, as already mentioned earlier.

Defender of the Crown.

Soccer management games.

Omni Play Horse Racing. Still the greatest horse racing game ever.

There are a few that I can't remember the names of. I'll post them when I remember.

Turn based strategies, like Civilisation, Populous, Powermonger or the Sim City Games (and its variants)

Battle Chess

That'll do for now.


Ape Man

[mek]

Archon, I haven't played that since the Commodore 64

[bacaramac]

Since EA has announced there continued developement on iPhone/Touch, I really hope we see Madden Football, Nascar and Need for Speed. I just hope they implement these with high quality and they are not thrown together. I haven't heard anything about Spore since the initial demo back in March, so I hope EA is working on these and not just talking about it.

[Ape_Man]

Yep. Vay AppStore Linky (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284940607&mt=8)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely look into Vay, although it seems slightly sega'd for my taste. I never could get into RPG's on my Mega Drive (Genesis).

I just hope that Vay is the first of many.

Cheers

Ape Man

[puponpup]

Diner Dash! Addictive cell phone game. Could add better graphics and put it in real restaurants or cafes for real ad potential.

Vay is a port of an old SegaCD title from 1993 or 1994. Old Skool JRPG.

QfGrX0zzVp0

If you look into Touch Arcade's early posts, they said something called "Rolando" was coming to iPhone/iPod touch and it was just like Loco Roco.

[OmniGeno]

Isn't there already one of these?

Yeah, I've been playing Vay. Let me just say that it's a good start. I'm happy to see the caliber of games that the iPhone/iPod Touch has the potential to support. That said, compared to other RPGs of its era, Vay is pretty... shall we say, ordinary. The plot is okay, gameplay is pretty vanilla, and it's very difficult to tell what equipment I should or should not buy from stores. And I don't know what my items do until I save, experiment, and then load again.

I will, of course, continue to enjoy the game and complete it, but if we're going to get a game like this, I hope there will be more RPGs in the style of the Square SNES ones, or maybe the Lufia series. This is where my comment came from. :)

[RaiderRich721]

I'm just looking for a good Tri-Peaks game. Pogo has a pretty good one. Something like that I guess. :cool:

[gray mouser]

I'd like to see a few sports games out there but not from EA. EA sucks. I'd like to see some driving & football games.

[nellym2011]

Someone should make a game like Text twist. Who wants to be a Millionaire would also be cool. I had both of these games when i had my iphone jailbroken some one needs to bring them to the app store.

[mek]

axis and allies , not the RTS but the turn based strategy...with the ability of MultiPlayer

[MattB]

I'm hoping to see an iPhone-friendly version of Peggle. That'd rock.

[jparris1]

Ikariam gets pretty repetitive and boring in the later stages of the game. I'm surprised people are still playing it.

[ldkaplan]

True, but I'm enjoying beating on people now that I have an army. Still, it does not hold my attention like it once did.

It would be nice if instead of only being PVP, it had some PVE as well. Or at least some computer run towns that you could attack without upsetting the neighbors.

Ikariam gets pretty repetitive and boring in the later stages of the game. I'm surprised people are still playing it.

[ldkaplan]

It may be buried in here somewhere...but a fighter pilot game would be cool.

I remember a simple one from the Atari 400/800 days where you flew a sopwith camel. It was first person view I believe.

It would use the accelerometer for control and a touch button to shoot. Maybe a slider on one side for acceleration.

That would be good with wifi or 3g as well I think if it could be multi-player.

[Stahl]

I'd like to see a cribbage game for iPhone. I'm not sure what % of the iPhone owners even know what cribbage is so I don't know about the popularity of such a game. All I know is if it was done well I'd pay my $9.99 for it.

[Aznsensation45]

idk. but i would def. want the original "helicopter game"..that game was soo addicting...

oh, and uh halo 4:D

[JavaBlack]

Space Trader - Good one!
Taipan,
Bookworm,
Choplifter,
Armour Alley,
Crystal Quest,
AirHeart,
Wings of Fury,
Karateka,
Prince of Persia,
Dark Castle...
Sorry, I got carried away with nostalgia! Some of these won't even work well with the iPhone...

[renton]

id like to see games like patapon, castle crashers, flow, dungeon seige/zelda type game, little big planet type of game, eden, aquaria, lode runner, someone already mentioned rolando (That game looks GREAT)ect....... bascially all those indy type games that XLBA and PSN are grabbing up all over...

those games are so MADE for the iphone.... they are more cerebral with action, and use tons of physics, and the tilt of the phone/touch is made for these.

thats what i love about this platform, the games transcend what the device was made for : phone calls. these games push the phone/touch into more consumers hands just for the fact of being able to play these indy games that will never show up on nintendo DS or the playstation portable..

Oh, and another one, which I'm surprised no-one has mentioned yet:
Archer Maclean's Mercury (http://uk.gamespot.com/psp/puzzle/archermacleansmercury/images.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gsimage&tag=images;all)
If ever a game was made for the iPhone, this is it.
Not the prettiest game in the world, but fun to play and would work really well.

[mikeadams]

loco roco WOULD make a good one. BUT its made by sony, and once again like wipeout was mentioned, i doubt theyd do anything to jepordize their psp. i have a psp, but personally i love ipod touch/iphones way more because a. you can access games and buy new content virtually anywhere. and b. devs can over-the-air-update all the time to fix bugs. also iphone apps seem to be more down to earth and by posting reviews/comments in the app store you feel like youre actually connecting with the devs and helping them fix bugs, rather than complain about a shitty ds/psp game you bought that wont ever get any better.

as far as seeing games come to the ipod. i wouldnt mind some that used on screen buttons. the accelerometer is cool, but alot of games make it impossible to play laying in bed like monkey ball, graal, or crash racing.

since im not jailbreaking my ipod, id like to see a tony hawk game with on screen controls to the app store. if they could somehow make a few decent fps's (im hoping ID will) id like to see how well they work on the ipod.

[JohnS3]

I would like to see a strategy type game like command & conquer, LostWinds, the Sims, Okami, Strong Bad's awesomely cool game for attractive people, a futuristic mmorpg with the runescape graphics engine or better, with a WoW gameplay system, WarioWare, Mercury Meltdown, a Punch-Out! port, MLB power pros, Wave Race, Pro Evolution Soccer with the wii engine, REZ, SSX, Road Rash, N+, Soul Calibur, Sonic!, Fire Emblem, Spiderman, Jet Set Radio Future, Skate It, a mii-style hockey game, Harry Potter, Star Wars pod racing, The Matrix, LOTR strategy game, a Paintball game, an ATV game, Mario Kart, the Helicopter shooting games on www.miniclip.com , Wipeout, F-Zero, Also, I can't wait for StarSmasher, Asphalt 4, and Rolando.

[mikeadams]

anyone remember or play little fighter? thatd be a good port, and cool online play with friends.http://vgfort.com/images/littlefighter2.jpg

[OmniGeno]

Anyone remember the old Mac game Pararena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pararena)? You play against the computer player in a sort of futuristic dish-shaped arena and try to get the ball into the opponent's goal. You collide with the opponent and try to get him/her out of the way to clear yourself a path to throw the ball into the goal.

This game would be perfect for the touch/accelerometer controls.

[tkphotograph]

No doubt, hopefully we will be seeing Nanosaur by Pangea.

[rustyjaw]

I'd love to see Sega's Rez for the iPhone!

[JohnS3]

I'd love to see Sega's Rez for the iPhone!

yeah, I agree. It would be an awesome game.:)

[Barnsey]

I'd like to see liar's dice (think Pirates of the Caribbean) on the iPhone, implemented in the same way motion x poker was, shaking the cups etc.

Barnsey.

[JohnS3]

The game Okami (Wii, PS2) would be absolutely perfect if they added a couple of buttons. Lost Winds (WiiWare) would be pretty cool as well. Anyone ever heard of Spogs Racing? It's another wiiware title it would be nice as another accelerometer racing game.

[YoungChris]

A solid rts or fps would be great any one have any ideas for what these games could be

[gingin]

outrun 2.

lets put this baby to the test. It has done a sterling job of monkey ball.

use the tilt controls and use the crash bandicoot controls, but much better graphics.

graphics do not make a good game, but new users will be amazed at what this device can produce.

I have heard this phone is as good as a dreamcast, which is so promising i cannot believe.

Two words...Yeti Olympics.

[oticon6]

Hey guys... uni student/part time developer considering competing with the big guys.

I figure this is the best place to determine whether it's worth the sleepless nights :P

How much interest do you think there'd be in a vertical scrolling shooter game? Somewhat like the old ones that were big in the arcade/DOS era such as Tyrian, Flying Shark (or Sky Shark), Raptor, Xenon and various others...

When I was younger, this was my favourite game style, but I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread yet.

[Apple Ink]

Doom and Spore!:p

[ldkaplan]

I'd be up for something like that. A Defender game using the accelerometer (sp?) would be interesting.

Doom and Spore!:p

Spore Origins is coming out for $9.99 for iPhone and touch on Sept. 7th, but I'm not sure if it'll have a full fledged creature. There are also many doom wanna-be's but none that has the depth to follow in the footsteps of the DOOM franchise. I would love to see a real DOOM happen. (I wrote this whole paragraph from my iPod touch :) )

[break5]

Sketch Fighter (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/Sketchfighter/) for Mac OS X looks like it'd be pretty awesome for the iPhone/iPod touch. PocketGamer suggested it'd be good on the DS, (http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Various/Loose+Threads/news.asp?c=8029&srch=sketch+fighter) but I thought it'd be good on the iPhone, too.

[icepulse]

I would give a nad for any turn-based strat RPG that involves deep options, such as "Temple Of Elemental Evil" or "Silent Storm". "Jagged Alliance" maybe?

Hidden & Dangerous II
Deus Ex

Oh my.

I'm excited about "Space Trader". That's coming. It's overdue, actually.

I'd love to see some kind of Sonic the Hedgehog game, but not necessarily the old Megadrive/Genesis port (although that would probably be easy enough). Even 2D would be brilliant, if graphics were high quality and the series returned to it's roots - Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman. You don't need anything else. :)

Also, a port of Crash Bandicoot 1 would be great, however I'm not sure that Sony would make one for the iPhone...

[pooks]

A port of GTA 'Liberty City Stories' and 'Vice City Stories' from the PSP would be great. Not sure how the controls would work though...?

[stevec319]

Hello, I've just got my iPhone and love it.

I'd like to see Elite (the space trading game from the 80s) and Advance Wars, although being a Nintendo game it's highly unlikely to make an appearance.

[renton]

that DS strat/war game 'advance wars'..... that game or something similar would be amazing... it would work perfect on the iphone, and its totally got amazing depth and has that ability to pick up and play for a few minutes or a few hours...

good stuff...

also some lode runner type game, like N+...

[Barnsey]

I'd like to see Meteos on the iPhone (Just because I prefer it to bejeweled)

[IndyJonez]

I think a Diablo port would be fantastic! Maybe if Blizzard wouldn't jump on board, maybe someone will make a game on the same type engine but with different name.

I also would loooooove to see a version of Sega's Shenmue.

I've even been thinking of ways they could control the game as far as exploration and moving around.

"Hold" one finger on the screen and pan around to look around a room, pinch and un-pinch to zoom in on detailed items. (on store shelves, etc...)

"Single Tap" to walk down streets towards direction desired.

"Double Tap" to run.

"Single Tap" on pedestrians to interact.

And think of all the mini games, maybe with some new (iphone specific) type games to utilize the iphone tilting. To perform actions in a interactive cutscene it would be as simple as swiping or maybe touching one of the four corners of the screen when prompted to do so.

Oldskool Shenmue players know what I'm talkin' about and if you don't, just youtube some "Sega Shenmue" vids.

Oh and what about another simple game like SkeeBall

:D

[Gregz0r]

Hey guys... uni student/part time developer considering competing with the big guys.

I figure this is the best place to determine whether it's worth the sleepless nights :P

How much interest do you think there'd be in a vertical scrolling shooter game? Somewhat like the old ones that were big in the arcade/DOS era such as Tyrian, Flying Shark (or Sky Shark), Raptor, Xenon and various others...

When I was younger, this was my favourite game style, but I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread yet.Agreed. all those types of games were simple, yet so awesome, be it vertical or horizontal scrolling. I''d love to see arcade/computer classics such as: R-Type 2, Xenon 2, Twin Cobra, Truxton(Tatsujin), etc.

[deluxe]

Heroes of Might and Magic III would be absolutely great...

As a turn-based strategy game, with originally a 800x600 resolution, very nice but "easy computed" graphics, no need for keyboard, I think it would be not too difficult to port it to iPhone/iPod Touch...


(First post... Hi guys !)

[JohnS3]

Hey guys, I just found a video previewing Jet Grind Radio for the iPhone. It looks amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

[ChemicalWeather]

Hey guys, I just found a video previewing Jet Grind Radio for the iPhone. It looks amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

DAMNIT. nice one. anyway, i am pretty excited for the jet grind radio port supposedly being released for the iPhone

[appletjesfris]

Space Invaders Extreme.

http://www.taito.com/csm/title/2008/sie/sie_psp/index.html

[BATTLE BORN]

Return to Zork (PC)
Shadowgate (NES)

I'd love a good first person shooter (upcoming Re-Volt looks promising).
Even something very elementary would be awesome. ala cube runner?
though I'm sure that's no simple feat either.

a good scrolling shooter, like 1942. I haven't tried any of the current ones in the store.

Graal Zone looks like it will be amazing whenever it launches. I didn't get to try the initial release which was pulled from the store, but I've got very high expectations for this one.

I also read that Bioshock is coming to the iPhone. If anyone's ever played Bioshock..... then you already know how incredibly cool that is

[probably]

Why are you all begging for LocoRoco and not awaiting this (http://www.rolandogame.com/)

[probably]

Oh and I think Electrocity could do some major damage to the app store (an energy independence based version of Sim City? yes.)

http://www.electrocity.co.nz/

[OmniGeno]

Why are you all begging for LocoRoco and not awaiting this (http://www.rolandogame.com/)

I don't know about "them all" but I sure am eagerly awaiting Rolando.

[ipodtouchme]

I wanna see VirtuaCop, Nights into Dreams, Final Fantasy, Area 51 Shooter, Sonic the Hedgehog, Daytona USA, Sewer Shark, Panzer Dragoon Saga

[IndyJonez]

KATAMARI DAMACY anyone?! =P

You know it would be awesome! DO IT!

[ChemicalWeather]

KATAMARI DAMACY anyone?! =P

You know it would be awesome! DO IT!

would be awesome, but again, having a larger gaming company create a game for the iPhone may take a while

[Tophat Trick]

Shenmue, the Chao A.L.I.F.E. simulator from Sonic Adventure 2, Mirror's Edge ( I know this is a stretch but with the right dev it could reach Breakdown levels of awesome ) The DS Final Fantasy remakes but with high quality visuals NO JAGGIES! But of course I'm sure that one is just a mater of time... Portal, this is also a stretch but... I've got it on good authority that Valve is considering it. Midnight Club, also very doable. StarCraft & WarCraft come on you know you want it, and also proabably really really capable of being technically done, but since Bilzzard doesn't do other systems as of yet, I'd settle for a nice HD version of Warlocked or even ( I'm not sure I got the name right ) Moon Patrol. Uhmmm lets see... oh and my all time number one vote for the ultimate iPhone game? Easy, Skies of Arcadia Legends, sooooo easily doable spec wise and controls, touch for battles and a switched perspective touch and go similar to a Diablo or Vay but also with a classic view too come on you KNOW you want Skies! Oh snap! I know what would be perfect for iPhone! REZ! YES!

[stevenhall]

I'd like to see a lot more bona fide retro classic arcade titles, such as Sega's OutRun, Power Drift & Super Monaco GP. Also, arcade classics like R-Type, Track & Field, Pole Position, etc, but not at the £5.99($9.99) price point. I feel that's a little too high for these older titles. I'd be more happy with £2.99.

I have these all in MAME on my PC, but it'd be sooo much cooler to have them portable :D

Coming to this thread late, but Track & Field would be just perfect.

[JohnS3]

I'm bringing this up for the second time, but anyone who's ever heard of Okami or played it on a ps2 or wii knows that its an awesome game. Its just a masterpiece, and with a couple of on-screen buttons, possibly accelerometer integration, and the obvious touch screen "celestial brush", this game would be a hit. A spin off instead of a port would probably be best though.

[lisa]

But my true wish "Rez" port by Sega, best beat game i ever seen ^^ Sample:



Yeah I agree Rez would be great. iphonegamesnetwork.com has a feature on dreamcast games that should come to iPhone. Plus a Wii games feature too. With the iPhone have similar tilt controls to the Wii it only a matter of time before we get some crossover, surely :)

[JohnS3]

this isnt exactly a game, but I would love to see a Dreamcast Emulator on Installer or Cydia. I would only get it if that add on controller that people were talking about in another thread would work with it. Hopefully the controller gets cheaper soon too. edit: accelerometer compatibilty would be a nice bonus too.

[Killquake]

Lost Cities card game could be pretty cool like on xbox live.
Loco Roco would be awesome with accelerometer control.
Braid would be pretty cool.

Alot more games i cant think of right now

WoW for the iPhone, i can see it now :P

[ldkaplan]

I'd like to see an updated Bard's Tale.

[palenoue]

Munchkins = http://www.sjgames.com/munchkin/game/

But only if you can play over wi-fi with other people locally _and_ with people over the internet.

[ccspark120]

I would really liketo see the original supermario on the iPhone/iPod touch you could SLIGHTLY lean it forward(don't. Want it tohave another starsmasher incesent) jump by tapping double tap=doulble jump and so on.

[ffmba3n]

i would love to see the old mac game bunny killer on the iphone. i loved playing that. if you don't know what that is it was a game on the old mac that you would just pick different ways to kill a bunny like a gun or a blender and it would then kill the bunny in that manner. some one should make it.

[dlogik]

Yaya...three separate genres...

But with Tris going out, wonder how easy it would be to port Quinn to the iPhone platform?

Also...anyone see a Gradius-ish type scroller in the works coming down the pipeline anytime soon?

And just for shits and giggles...not sure if it's been mentioned, but the classic Commander Keen series would be a stellar addition, even if Fez is in the works for iPhone (fingers crossed).

[MacTheSpoon]

I'd love to see KOTOR, and also see people create some brand new turn-based RPGs, too. They would be a great fit for the iPhone.

[QuarterSwede]

I doubt anyone's mentioned it but since playing Vay (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284940607&mt=8), I think Lufia (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lufia&search_type=&aq=f) (Snes RPG) would be perfect for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

[ldkaplan]

Yeah, Commander Keen would be awesome!

Agreed. But perhaps Lufia II would be better. Sorry, I'm biased toward Rise of the Sinistrals. :)

[JohnS3]

I'd like to see a castle defence game.

[PeterM11]

I would really liketo see the original supermario on the iPhone/iPod touch you could SLIGHTLY lean it forward(don't. Want it tohave another starsmasher incesent) jump by tapping double tap=doulble jump and so on.

yes!!!! I would love to see a super mario adventure game kinda thing also!!!! I love mario games!!!! I would pay like 20 bucks for a descent controlled and graphic Super Mario 64 Port (even if it was a direct port, i can play that game forever):D:D:D:D

[tizzyler03]

I would love to see a Mario game or Pokemon...seeing opportunities with Vay, Pokemon could have some serious potential, however, I doubt Nintendo would port either of those games to the iPhone because of the DS.

[STP_Steve]

here's my 10 cents on what should be on the iPhone:

http://www.slidetoplay.com/story/10-iphone-games-we-hope-will-exist-someday

[alobar72]

Hi,

anyone remembers the legendary Elite for the 8bitters ? I really would like to see something like that on my iPhone.
civ2 is my favorite timekiller

Those two would be great
I also believe that Spaceharrier could be nice

:-)
( oh god i hope they port Elite ;-)

[rjsim]

I'd like to see a Settlers of Catan (http://www.catan.com/CMS/content/blogsection/0/76/lang,en_US/) game or maybe a Ticket to Ride (http://www.daysofwonder.com/tickettoride/en/) game.

[wilson]

id like to see bridge builder or wario ware :D

[mek]

id like to see bridge builder or wario ware :D

Bridge Builder would be nice


or Dice Wars

..Still would like Archon or some good C64 ported games

[sirisaacx]

http://locoroco.com/

One of the only fun games for PSP, and it'd be right at home on the iphone. It wouldn't even require adaption as the controls are all based on tilt.

[wastedyuthe]

I would LOVE a rally game like WRC or Colin McCrae Rally. Anyone know if one's due?

[blakespot]

Digital Concepts makes my favorite mobile game of all time. I played it on a Compaq iPaq of my past.

Rocket Elite (http://www.dig-concepts.com/?RocketEliteGold)

It’s sort of Lunar Lander on crack. I hope hope hope this comes to the iPhone.

[CBraun53]

I would really like to see hydro thunder on the iPhone.

[crunc]

I'd really like to see another sudoku game. 57 just aren't enough. Also would like to see more versions of Bejeweled and at least 10 more versions of breakout. Lastly, when are we going to see a good whack-a-mole game?

Ok, Ok. I would really like to see a version of Tempest 2000. If it can actually be done well.

[paulold]

Not sure if it would work on an iPhone, but I would love to own a copy of Pacland. One of my favorite games from when I was in college.

http://www.arcade-history.com/?n=pac-land&page=detail&id=1913

[Cousin Dirk]

I'd really like to see a version of Colibricks (http://www.colibricks.com/) come to the iPhone.

Or, I'd love to see Worms come to iPhone. With WiFi multiplayer!

[chrisjonny]

I think Command and Conquer would be a great fit

LOL crunc! Dude don't forget the trivia games. I'm a sucker for trivia games copy pasted from Wikipedia.

Seriously though, just give me a well executed hardcore game, any genre, I'd be willing to pay a handheld console price for it.

[starjimstar]

I want to see Frenzic on my iPhone.

And I am still holding out hope for the rumors that Nintendo is working on some games. A touch Mario or Zelda would be wonderful.

[crunc]

One game I'd really like to see ported is Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection. I have the PS2 version and would love to have this game in portable form. The iPhone/iPod would be a perfect fit, even supporting motion control for nudging, like the Wii version.

[mc511]

I was thinking since ID software is making something i would like to see mabey and Quake RTS. And FPS might not work well with the touch. But who knows i want to be surprised.

[nizy]

My wishlist:

Monkey Island - perfect for touch controls
Okami - think wii controls only with accelerometer movement ala de Blob
Sonic - like Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, 3D with Secret Rings esque controls
Shenmue - i'm thinking movemnet like de blob, maybe gesture based fighting?
Fifa '09 or Pro Evo - similar controls to Real Soccer or Pro Evo '08 on wii!!!!!
SSX
Excite Truck - just like the wii game
Street Fighter 2 / MK - on screen buttons?
Quake or Doom? I saw a demo of a Quake port that looked interesting
House of the Dead / Virtua Cop / Time Crisis - all would be great for touch screen control
Lost Winds (wiiware)
Zack & Wiki (Wii) - similar controls to Monkey Island
Crazy Taxi - like dreamcast version with controls like current racers
GTA - maybe Chinatown wars, with movement like de blob

[parranoya]

The screen is about right for the overlay but I dont know how you would incorporate the side buttons and the wheel. I would love to play Night Stalker, Frog Bog, D&D (both ones), Utopia, Burger Time, He-Man, Bump N Jump and the best of all ASTROSMASH! ...Also any great 3D-FPS would be welcome.

[your personal robot]

PANDEMONIUM...as a fantastic looking platformer... should be no prob.

[brewstermax]

Great game. perfect for iPhone. Play the online version here http://www.addictinggames.com/interactivebuddy.html.

Interactive Buddy FTW.

[rootbeersoup]

Sonic the Hedgehog

[teagan1000000]

games that I think would b awesome and run on the iPod touch are: bloons tower defence 3, pokemon style rpg, any real time stratigy game with 3d graphics and a game like legend of zelda windwaker

[Liljeberg]

I'd like to see Blokus (http://www.blokus.com/)!

[Slayer_megadeth]

Rise of nations & call of duty

[Chiller ONE]

PANDEMONIUM...as a fantastic looking platformer... should be no prob.

This would be awesome! Armado (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=295805469&mt=8) was a great game but very short, Pandemonium is a game in the same spirit.

[biscotti]

LOCO ROCO, please! It's such an amazing game.

[darwiniandude]

Rolando FTW!

[QuickWit]

Maybe not the greatest of games, but I always loved playing Drug Wars on my Palm when I was on long flights. Although I remember getting some strange looks when I got frustrated one game and sad, "Crap what just happened to the price of Cocaine?!" a little too loudly. Doubtful that Apple would let it go through...

[powderski11]

I've already said this but not on the right thread. I think Need for Madness would be awesome on the iphone/itouch.

[brewstermax]

Ok. These two are the ones that I am dying to see. They are interactive buddy and Insaniquarium. Interactive buddy (for those who don't know) is a game in which you basically beat up a bunch of circles shaped as a very rotund person. Insaniquarium is made by Popcap Games, so this one may actually land, as Popcap is active in the App Store. It is a game where you try to keep fish alive, against your own carnivorous fish and monsters such as lionfish and aliens. It is extremely fun and could easily be ported to iPhone. Both are online flash games. You can find both here (http://www.popcap.com/games/free/insaniquarium) and here (http://www.addictinggames.com/interactivebuddy.html)

Both are really good time wasters and would be great on iPhone

[SydneyS]

THis game is super super addicting and i think it could be well implemented into the iPod

http://www.addictinggames.com/avalanche.html

[flyingflettner]

Pokemon (all of them) blue, red, yellow, saphire, ruby, i would probably buy them if you would also be able to exchange pokemon and do pokemon fights via multiplayer/wifi. also sonic the hedgehog, GTA, worms would be awesome, bloons tower defense, PES or FIFA but with same functions as on psp. RS would be enough if multiplayer were introduced. i would any of the psp games to iphone, cos the iphone just rocks. (But POKEMON. PLEAASE DEVELOPERS. POKEMON IS MY GREATEST WISH. IT IS WHAT I MISS MOST SINCE SELLING MY GAMEBOY ADVANCE SP)

Wow, you're being ambitious, aren't you. And GTA, really. Bloons would be nice, but I see Ninjakiwi a)charging for it and b)spending that money to not make a profit. Whoever you are are really ambitious about this. how could you play any of these without a d-pad. I personally would need a tactile d-pad for these, a virtual one would be difficult with these. Pokemon is made by Nintendo, a competing platform. You can forget that one.

[parranoya]

I would love to have FATE on the iphone ---- they should be able to port it easily enough---add a joystick for movement and make the attacking with touch--like a mouse point....they would only have to change the input to get to the inventory and spells. Think of how much money these companies could make ---how many of us would like to play DIABLO 2 on a mobile device ---the iphone can handle the graphics and they just have to change the input methods from mouse to touch ------- i guess I am just dreaming. Diablo 2 on a mobile would never happen BLIZZARD is odd that way.

What do you guys think?

[powderski11]

To SydenyS, i tried avalanche, your right it is addicting, but idk how well it would work on an iphone. it seems like accelerometer wouldnt be an option, and with a virtual Dpad it would be awkward to stick to the side of the brick things.

[Dclevi]

COD4. I don't see how it would work, but I'd pay 100$ for that game if it could be ported to this. And I would personally send a charming gift basket to the person that ported it. Please please please please please port this.

[ericxd]

nice link to avalanche
game is mad boring

[Mahaa93]

COD4. I don't see how it would work, but I'd pay 100$ for that game if it could be ported to this. And I would personally send a charming gift basket to the person that ported it. Please please please please please port this.

Who exactly are you telling to "port this"? There is no way in hell COD4 will be appearing on the iPhone. I personally would like to see gunbound/worms on the App store.

[ericxd]

tower bloxx!!!!!!!!!

[Oma]

I would like a Runescape-like game on the iPod.
I think it would be a big hit ^^

[JohnS3]

Anybody remember an old pc game called Strife?? It would be awesome with iControlPad (http://www.icontrolpad.com/) and updated graphics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0-tapXSpqE (explicit language)

Outrun would be pretty awesome too.

[esfrost]

Heart of Darkness - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_YYRVk5ur4

Its a great game, it guess it would run pretty well....

[illucius]

I want to see Contra on the iPhone!

[diffusion8r]

I'd like Contra or Castlevania myself, but I would be very happy to see a World of Goo - it would be very well suited to the iPhone!

[JohnS3]

I'd like Contra or Castlevania myself, but I would be very happy to see a World of Goo - it would be very well suited to the iPhone!

Yeah, World of Goo has been mentioned, the devs say there's a possibility that they would port it.

[yourofl10]

more first person shooters like cude and more racing games (that are 3d) and more war fist person shooter (like the one by gameloft)

[Destinite]

After seeing how well Warfare Inc. works on the iPhone, nothing would make me happier than to see Syndicate or Syndicate Wars ported over. God, that would be awesome.

And I cosign on World of Goo.

[rhurrle]

I would like to see Moo I and Moo II but not a remake of Moo III. Here's some more... Iron Helix, Rise of the Triad, Faceball 2000, Warcraft I, and Quake 2. I'd pay some good money for these!

[Boleje]

Turnbased RPG - something like Might & Magic 3-5 or Bards Tale would be awsome.
Axis and Allies
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Magic the Gathering

[spacerage]

I would love to see this: http://fantasticcontraption.com/

[Deadlock]

Age of Empires port.

[Maeks]

After the failure of Vay, I'd love to see some of the SNES Square games on the iPhone/Touch.

While it's a stretch, and most likely will not happen, unlike Mario and other Nintendo offerings, it is not an impossibility.

But man, how awesome would TIE Fighter or X-Wing be? Seriously.

[RayLancer]

GeneRally:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlBhQq8gOEM

6 player (or single player with AI) top down racing game. There are literally thousands of cars and tracks on the forum to download. The PC version download is like only 2MB large. Its a shame that the original developers are no longer around supporting this game. But I would love to see this or something similar on the iPhone.

[IzzyNobre]

If someone made a port of Settlers II (owned by Ubisoft, Gameloft made a port for regular cellphones a while back), I'd write this person a blank f*cking check.

Seriously. MORE STRATEGY GAMES ON THE IPHONE PLEASE.

that would be sweet. also there is age of ampire on windows mobile, if microsoft can port it to iphone that would rock.

[iKoda]

Tower Bloxx would make a great $0.99 App Store game.

http://tower.bloxx.fizzlebot.com/

Defend your Castle would make a great $0.99 App Store game also.

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/castle

A Tamagotchi would be cool too. It can be in colour and stuff.

[ea84]

i think a nascar game would revolutionize the way the iphone is looked at. more iphones or itouch will get sold in the south. so bring it ea sports nascar 2010

Does anyone else think Marble Blast Gold on iPhone would be awesome?

[RaciallyRetarded]

....

[TimothyB]

I just randomly came across an arcade game I've been trying to remember for ages and think it would be awesome on the iPhone.

It's called Starblade, from around 1991

All I remember when I sat in the arcade machine, it really pulled you in. Some kind of magnified display that made it feel like a window, large controller, killer sound system. But the graphics were 3D, smooth, and made you feel like you were in part of The Last Starfighter.

It's a rail space shooter. So you mainly man the cannon, but overall feels very cinematic and even the 18 year old graphics would look great on the iPhone.

Check it out: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59OGqjbQj24&feature=related
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbubRJRVT-I&feature=related

It's hard to hear all the little sounds, but I wanted to show the original arcade, other videos are possibly from other systems.
I figure you would control it similar to Venger on the iPhone.

[nielololek]

J want to see on my iphone: something similar to tekken (3d fighting game) , Worms Word Party , Crash ( adventure game in 3D) , NFS and someting similar to GTA in 3D .

[parranoya]

DIABLO 2 --- I wants it.

All you would need would be an iDracula movement system with one controling your character and the other controlling and onscreen icon for targeting--- and 4 buttons --- one by the movement to represent a right click --- one by the cursor to represent a left click --- and 1 above each for mana and health recharge....soooo easy ---Come on BLIZZARD you money hungry corp ---- start milking this cash cow again (eveyone stop buying their battle chest complilations so they look elsewhere for cash flow)

[LordCrom]

Skies of Arcadia

[Isilel]

I want all those great RPGs and adventure games that currently come out for the DS. Suikoden, Chrono Trigger, the remake of the Broken Sword, etd.

[danc4498]

i think a nascar game would revolutionize the way the iphone is looked at. more iphones or itouch will get sold in the south. so bring it ea sports nascar 2010

Does Days of Thunder count?

[LordCrom]

Again, I wouldn't have minded a non-stealth action MGS game, even one that is a gallery shooter (or tap shooter in this case) if the story were told not through getting rewarded by getting higher scores with static pictures with little text tidbits, but if it were integrated into the actual gameplay.

What I'm thinking Kojima and Konami could've, and should've done is make an adventure game with tap shooting action sequences.

Y'know...like Kojima's classics Snatcher and Policenauts.

In fact, if I didn't state it before, I'll state it again:

I'd love for Konami to port over Snatcher onto this platform. But base it on the Sega CD version (which was already translated, and IMHO has the best artwork):

YouTube: video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=pPg4vjRDI7c)

Friggin' epic.

And translate Policenauts ASAP and port that over. They'd fill a niche (adventure games).

Snatcher! Yes!

[ktfright]

Would you guys want to see a top down drifting game on an iphone?

SONG SUMMONER all the way

Now with the SO 3.0 that allows applications to have access to the music library.

I hope they port SONG SUMMONER soon.

:rolleyes:

I'm sure the controls would be hard to implement but I would love to see Fallout 1 and 2 on the iPhone :D

I know Bethesda has the Fallout name but Interplay could still own 1 and 2 as that one Interplay Fallout Trilogy pack was released not to long ago.... in the end, to whoever owns those games, make it happen!

Well, I would like to see some really innovative games using the new characteris*tics found in the device like the accelerometer or the touch screen, not just a tap but using the resources together that could make us really say "wooow". I know that exist some great, really great games at the appstore but I didnt see anything really innovative. I released a puzzle game called GudeBalls that is a time managed puzzle bringing challenge and some addicitive levels ( for those who like puzzles ) and I tried to use something different but its really hard create something really new, the game GudeBalls was a good time to learn somethings about the SDK library and about the device but I am still running after some really new and also hoping that some of my friends (the others developers) can build some like that. I think all of us would love to find it.

[goldglover411]

smash bros., I wonder how possible that would be.

not possible because nintendo is in competition with apple
(if it did come out it would be a hit)
(i kinda want to see mario kart but that will never happen either)

[aafuss]

Age of Empires-unlikely as there is a N-gage service port of Age of Empires III by Glu Mobile (wonder if MS would let them do a iPhone version.
Zoo Tycoon

[X-Frame]

Starfox.

[aafuss]

If you're referring to Nintendo's Star Fox games-then it'll never be available on the iPhone (as Nintendo only releases its games for its consoles and not others).
