Games That NEED To Be Ported

[dannys95]

All these games are possible to be ported, and I will explain why underneath.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Muerta_%28series%29)Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Muerta_%28series%29)
Similar to Sim City. It's graphics need to be SLIGHTLY downgraded and bam! It's ready for iPhone. Even the controls are easy to port for iPhone. The controls are VERY similar to Sim City also.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_World_Quest_Magical_Racing_Tour)
This would be extremely easy to make for iPhone. Graphics are PS1 and are not too good, but PERFECT for iPhone. Like Cro-Mag.
http://www.gamerevolution.com/images/games/dreamcast/walt_disney_world_quest_magical_racing_tour/walt_disney_world_quest_magical_racing_tour_004.jp g

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roller Coaster Tycoon
I don't think RCT3 (fully 3D) can be ported to iPhone. Although a 3D "Ride Your Ride" is possible as shown by AirCoaster. Maybe one of the 2D versions like RCT2. I think that is possible.
http://www.games2download.com/images/roller-coaster-tycoon2-screen-big2.jpg

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

N or N+ (http://www.metanetsoftware.com/)
I contacted the devs and they told me they really want to make a iPhone version. But they said they don't see how to make controls work and etc. I just KNOW it's possible. It's available for PSP and the DS after all.
http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/images/n_media/n-21.jpg

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm still trying to remember the rest give me a sec. I know there's two or three treads on this already. But I want this one only to be about games that are possible! Not people requesting games we all know can never run on the iPhone. Feel free to post others, but like the above style.

[yourofl10]

Great list add interactive buddy to the list

[dannys95]

OK some more.

Crazy Taxi
Is very possible, graphics and control wise.
http://www.cazatrucos.com/imagenes/crazy-taxi-_4jpg

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zoo Tycoon 1 (with all expansion packs)
Most likely if ported the expansion packs will be part of the new 3.0 "in app purchase". But it is possible. It would be like Sim City.
http://opcug.ca/public/reviews/Graphics/zootycoon.jpg

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Others are already being considered or being ported:



Syberia - Being ported
Audiosurf - Trying to see if possible. See thread.

[kiwi91]

The only one I agree with is Roller Coast Tycoon.

That would be sweet.

[pante]

mafia.
duke nukem 3d.

i know i ask for much... but i love both of them.

[dannys95]

Heck yeah. I can't believe I forgot!

Interactive Buddy
It's awesome and seems pretty possible.

[dannys95]

I've spoken of this one before.

Enigmo 2
Seems possible. I asked them and they told me they had talked about it before and that they were looking at it. But that there were some "technical issues" they had to get over.

original post i guess.

Yeah.

[dannys95]

This one could be a challenge; but I'm sure it's possible.

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
Graphics are possible. Controls are possible. It would be a bit of a challenge but it's possible.

I guess but I want people to see the new ones. Plus there's a limit on post length.

[Kamazar]

Trackmania United

It's the most awesome racing game ever to come to the PC and (soon) the DS! And like I said, it's being ported to the DS, with a track editor, so there's no doubt it's doable on the iPhone.

Bugs Bunny Lost in Time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugs_Bunny_Lost_in_Time)

Wow I love the PC version but the graphics need to be downgraded. It's possible dough!!

[Rad]

i know i ask for much... but i love both of them.


We know it won't be 3D realms making it; they are still working on Dukem Nukem Forever give them another 10 years or so to get it done first, :D

[SuperPaperSam]

Heck yeah. I can't believe I forgot!

Interactive Buddy
It's awesome and seems pretty possible.

OH MY GOD! i loved that game but i though i was the only one that played it!!!
i would always use anti-grav and then throw babies at him...

[M.W.]

If anyone has the paradise paintball widget on their Mac, I would buy it if it was ported to the iPhone.

It might be pushing the limit, and may take an insane programmer, but it could be competition for the upcoming Livefire app.

I know nothing about programming, and don't know if this is possible.

As said above, Trackmania would be sweet! They got it running on the DS, and the iPhone is more powerful, so they shouldn't have a problem!

[Kane2007uk]

I'd love to see Tex Murphy on the iPhone :D

[BOWB4ZOD]

The original command and conquer: red alert

Metal slug 1-6

[D-rAiSe]

I'm loving the Age of Empires idea. Also would love to see a true 3D PSP similar Madden on the iPhone, not a regular mobile version. Not sure if it would be possible but a port of a slightly dumbed down (for lack of control options) port of Twisted Metal 2 from ps1. Was hooked on that game for so long.

[J.R. Jalapeno]

anyone remember serious sam for the PC? it could be done b/c there was no jumping, etc. it was more like the original doom with crazy waves of enemies.

absolutely! starcraft too!!

[Scott30]

I really like the N+ idea, really a cool game that I played on XBLA never played it on PC though. But it would all rely on how well it controls in N+ you are a ninja needing great timing and a even slightly off or bad control scheme could ruin it.

But if they could make it work it would be nice.

[brewstermax]

Interactive Buddy and Insaniquarium. Both stellar flash titles. Both "made for iphone"

[Almy]

Rome Total War and the original Diablo please!

[AchillesReborn]

Any combat card game; like MTG, yu gi oh, metal gear acid.

Any elite style space trading/combat game.

And although it's very unlikely, and would not really suit the interface, Deus Ex would be sweet.

[MyDarkDesire]

how about playing with fire 2

http://www.directgamez.com/flash/pwf2.htm

[inferi22]

I just thought of a control scheme for n+, how about touch either side of the screen to move then shake up or have an onscreen button for jumping- send that to the dev

[indyraider4]

Lego starwars would be fun!

[Killjoi]

Doom.
Metal Slug.

[gscal]

As someone said before, I'd really like to see n+ on the iPhone.

[nuggetsman28]

We should get some willing devs to actually make some of these games.

[iPro]

Thing thing series!
Did Anyone say Interactive buddy if so +1!:D

[dannys95]

Please only post things you think are possible on iPhone. Don't ask for a full version of Halo.

@NuggestMan All these are copyrighted. So developers can't make them unless they get permission.

What else...Xybots?!

I don't have a mac, I use my friend's a lot.

I can post a link to the website.

Graphics are good and gameplay is fun, simple, and balanced.

For the iPhone graphics may need to be downgraded.

I have to agree 100% with General Chaos!

[inferi22]

has anyone had the chance to send my control scheme to dev i think it would work great

[dannys95]

how could we forget?! Snood needs to be ported

[inferi22]

thx and ya snood would be awesome but ds port was an epic phail

Just for those wondering what replies I got from the N devs:

Later

But that's exactly the problem. Having to add buttons means some of the screen will be lost to interface, or that your fingers will obscure your view of the action, and neither of those solutions is a very good one. We also considered using the gyroscope etc, using motion/gestures instead of button presses but decided that would never work -- N requires much more precision than that.

I'm afraid we've given up -- none of the ways we can think of making it work would make for a very good game.
but thanks for your enthusiasm!

I just emailed them the suggested control method BTW.

[inferi22]

Did the response come after you sent the email with suggested control shceme. And I thought of another control set accelometer(left-right) jump button in top right corner where game isn't taking place

[dannys95]

That responce was some time ago..........................notice they said no accelerometer control.

[Ravenblack]

I'd like to see a portable version of Dominions. There's Reign of Swords which is closest you can get to that sort of game.

[inferi22]

Or in bottom left a small left-rite d-pad, on bottom right jump bottom neither of which taking up enough room to take out of gamepay-I'm just filed with ideas

[CommanderData]

Dominions looks pretty cool. We're actually planning a medieval-ish strategy game for later this year once we're done with updates to Rogue Touch and our day jobs settle down enough to start another major title! Hopefully some of our current customers *wink* will want to check it out :D

@spiffyone

You're really promoting those to be ported aren't you?
Does it play like 1112? Looks interesting, really.

Well, I've got my own that I'm trying to get heard. (No, this is not ACID)

This game can even run on a razor!
As much as I do enjoy MGS touch for a quick fun,
I sure do get sad whenever I see MGS mobile being run on a razor and not my iPhone.

[farnsworthiness]

This was made for porting. The code is available on Sourceforge and the original graphics were lower res and so should be easy to convert. It's a blast to just play the super melee sub-game which could be made into a downloadable game just by itself. The campaign mode is EPIC and far too much fun.

Hell, if you haven't tried it or heard of it, just download it and you'll see what I mean. http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

That game was classic like abuse... which is on ipod already

[Lukearcade22]

well, i'll list some games that could be a possible choice:
1) Mercury Meltdown
2) Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 or 2
3) Zoo Tycoon 1 (just the original, that would be fine)
4) Point Blank (arcade light gun shooter if any of you remember)
5) Loco Roco
6) Crazy Taxi
7) Peggle
8) 42 all-time classics (a great game that everyone needs to have around)

those are just some.
If you really want to port a game, then contact the company saying about your idea.
You never know, they might take it on board! :)

The Point Blank games where my favorite light gun games of all time! I'd take a fun light gun game like that over something like Time Crisis anyday... hello Namco!

I just emailed them the suggested control method BTW.

I had figured the control would be the huge main issue and figured it would almost be impossible....didnt see the control method suggested but I would maybe suggest ....

Having a touch to jump method and a virtual analog stick on the side like idracula has for moving. Again the problem as said was it would get in your way but I would suggest moving the stick to the other side of the screen depending where your character is but that could make it even trickier so I doubt it.

Or I would just suggest cutting a small area of the bottom left screen from the level to have a virtual analog stick there, the good thing about N+ levels is they come in all varieties and that area is not crucial to making a good level.

Star Control is an old favorite of mine too. I remember playing the awful port of Star Control 1 on the Sega Genesis for hours! #2 added so much more it's still a great game today...

We wouldn't mind tackling this project, but the only problem is: If we used that source, graphics, audio, etc it would have to be a free game due to the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html) and Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/) license. These would forbid a commercial version in the app store unless the original authors signed off their rights on it.

I know that's not a problem to gamers ;) but a struggling game start-up shop like ours needs to actually make some money if we ever want to quit our day jobs and make games full time :D

This classic is definitely up our alley... Maybe Toys For Bob wouldn't mind us giving it the treatment... If you guys are listening let us know. :cool:

[Brazilian Rider]

There's this little game called "Gears of War".

It's a trilogy but based on what the iPhone can do, I think we can fit all three in there! I contacted the developer and they said they were porting it now with the full ORIGINAL graphics and online multiplayer!

You want me to name the best game that need to be ported? Actually that's not a game but a mode game, from warcraft III: HERO TOWER LINE, omagad that would be just awesome!

(you can also name DOTA of course ;))

Tribes needs to be ported!

[NienorGT]

Any old school FPS like Doom. You know, when there where no real need to aim vertically. Because all FPS right now use the acelerometer to aim and it SUCKS...
Castle Crucher would be damn cool too.
Finally, a Castlevania-ish game would be the cherry on the pop.

Zuma and Blokus. I emailed the Blokus people and no response :(

Edit: On a hunch I checked the app store, and someone came up wih a Blokus clone. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=307797487&mt=8 Downloading.

Boom Blox the game on the wii
It would work with graphics, controls and physics.

I agree that it is possible. Instead of the WiiMote use your finger to drag and pull and the accelerometer to rotate the view.

A WiFi multiplayer would make the game highly desirable.

It's not a game, but I'd love to play with an official version of the Reactable.
For the ones who don't know what is a Reactable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h-RhyopUmc

I know there is a similar software already, but that's not nice at all.
I want THE Reactable on my phone.

BATTLE FOR WESNOTH!!!! BEST FREAKING GAME EVER!!!

try out the pc and mac version and you will see, oh yes, you will see...:cool:

[MartiNZ]

Some flavour of Warlords that is not Puzzle Quest related –*Warlords 2 made it to the DS.

Some flavour of Lemmings (just occurred to me while reading the thread, well I got as far as the first page).

From the OP I agree with N/N+, good stuff.

[MartiNZ]

what about crystal caves???

That game was classic like abuse... which is on ipod already

Oh yeah! Those chapter games were awesome. Similarly Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Commander Keen, and the original Duke Nukem.

2 ds games id love to be ported and would work well with iPhone: prince of Persia fallen king ds game that has full touch screen controls I love it, and I think any one whose played it wants this:::the world ends with you or a sequel::: they could have only bottom screen contols with enhanced difficulty. Ps if you haven't played twewy it won game of the year ds 2008 from the majority of major game reveiwers and IMO is one of squares finest works

Syndicate. I really enjoyed that game. They tried to bring a version of it back onto the psp in one of the retro collections (EA replay - I think) but it didn't work out. Everything was too small. If there is someway they can make it work, do the menus properly just for the touch, it would rock.

Populous is back on DS, seems to work on there, so I don't see why not for the I-touch. :)

[menom]

any of the three Marathon games would be a good start - maybe the open Aleph OSX port would be the obvious stepping stone

either way Wolfenstein has surely just opened the door on the porting over of classic FPSs

Marathon had some amazing gamelplay for the time and loads of neat weapons - Halo owes so much to Marathon

[deckard]

Speaking of classic 'before-Microsoft' Bungie, one of my favorite games of all time is Myth. I played that game so much I was using the word 'dorf' in daily life for years. Maybe Myth itself would be hard to do but I'd love to see a similarly deep and engaging RTS that's all strategy and ZERO RESOURCE GATHERING AND BASE BUILDING.

[dashzed]

how about the mac classic "Glider"?

I can't beleive no one has ported that yet, I would DIE to have that game on my iPhone, plus the controls would work perfectly. Just tap either side of the screen to move in that direction.

Yeah Myth! that was neat - have to admit I only ever played the demo version as I was skint back then and just setting up in photography

the ways of selecting character groups should work well on iPhone with dragging a box around a group being natural

I remember seeing Bungie reps demonstrating it as their upcoming game at a MacWorld Expo in Earls Court - hate to think how long ago that was:o

YS 伊苏 series by Falcom - it would definitely be a top RPG for iPhone if ported

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5497/ys00541a.jpg

Original Legend of Sword and Fairy 原版仙剑奇侠传 - made in 1995 and upgraded a little in 1998, it became instant #1 RPG in most of Asia and still one of the top RPGs today with many sequels and spin-offs. Graphics are perfect for iPhone hardware. Guaranteed to be best turn-based RPG for eastern audience, best story, music, and gameplay of any RPG I've ever seen

Zoo tycoon would be great. Also Worms would be very nice on the iPhone. Currently there is a pretty decent rip-off of worms called 'SoldierAntz' which looks intresting, I have played the lite version and it works well.

Yeah, SoliderAntz a pretty weak copy of worms. I just got done playing it. First of all, there is NO physics for the missiles. Then the AI just looks bad. Also, it lets you switch between ants without penalty... looks like a pretty mediocre attempt.

WE NEED ONLINE WORMS!

Oh, and to the guy that mentioned Advance Wars: yeah! Or a game like Fire Emblem. I played Reign of Swords and found it incredibly lifeless. We need to control a team of like 10 characters with their own personalities, not bland clone armies.

Yeah, it would be so good if Team17 made worms for iPhone with online multiplayer. It could easily be done though, I have simple graphics like Rolando graphics in mind. That would be perfect. It's only a matter of those big companies getting off their backsides and realising that there is a whole load of money waiting to be made from the appstore :)

[Dr Ashworth]

There was an excellent pocket PC worms-esque game called Snails. I just found out that it was ported to iPhone... but not that good. Controls, as usual.

I'm not sure if Team17 has the patience to deal with that if they couldn't. But hopefully.

[ta11on]

The original Team Fortress would definitley work. We are in need of a decent FPS, especially with online play.

Also, why not then throw in Half-Life? I would pay $20 for a port of Half-Life 1.

[Dr Ashworth]

No, the controls of half-life would be SO frustrating with the iphone.

Here's (http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/handheld-accessories/iphone-gaming-worms-on-the-way-259328) the article.

TechRadar can also reveal that leading Britsoft developer, Team 17 Software also plans to bring Worms to the iPhone. Martyn Brown, studio director and the lauded designer behind one of our favourite long-running gaming franchises told us today: “I think [the SDK news] is a fantastic and positive move opening up the iPhone to developers, as it is a potentially tremendous device for casual games.

“We'll certainly be looking at ways we can bring something like our own Worms titles to the device.”

Yeah, I agree. Most 2D classics should work well on the iPhone. And I would also love to see lemmings on mine. There must be some sort of Lemming rip-off on the appstore already. It's finding it that is the problem.

I'd like to see a port of the latest Prince of Persia DS game. It was all touch-based, and would be perfect for the iTouch, though maybe the graphic style could be upgraded a tad. The current incarnation looks very childlike.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a port of the 2D Mirror's Edge that EA made for the web.

duke nukem 3d would be so amazing. I remember playing dn over a null modem cable. Those were the days.

Haven't read this entire thread so not sure if it's mentioned already, although I doubt it cause this is a pretty obscure game. But I would do pretty much anything if they would port over Penguin Land from the Sega Master System days. [Penguin Land on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin_Land)] (Hope I did the link right). Anyway I dumped a pretty large portion of my childhood into playing this game. It's a puzzle game where you try to get an egg from the top of a level to the bottom. Your egg can only drop a certain height without breaking, so you're constantly trying to figure out ways to let it drop in increments until you eventually get to the bottom. Theres enemies to look out for, and different kinds of blocks with special abilities you have to figure out how to use. Charming graphics and sounds, and a TON of levels IIRC. Ahhh memories...

Well being a pretty fanatical Simpsons, uh, fan I'd have to agree that this would be pretty sweet. I don't really see it happening, however, as this game wasn't ultra popular amongst the 3 consoles it showed up on. Probably the best Simpsons game though, besides the special place I have in my heart for Bart vs. The Space Mutants on NES (one of the hardest games I've ever beat :). The Simpsons Movie game was pretty decent, the gameplay was kinda boring but the rest of everything else was great. Here's to hoping I'm proven wrong somehow.

looks a lot like the quest

[pogosov]

"dtfack"
"golden axe"
"mechwarrior"
"another world"
"gobliiins"
"elite"
"dune"
"lost eden"
"hofmm" (any)
"quarantine"
"sam and max hit the road" and "full throttle"
"x-wing vs tie fighter"

it is possible.

Anyone remember Hover from Windows 95?

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2222/2260228538_60be2eb9a3.jpg?v=0

That's the one!! I was trying to remember whatit was called.
Inwould love it on iPhone.

[Galaxius]

Yeah, I agree. Most 2D classics should work well on the iPhone. And I would also love to see lemmings on mine. There must be some sort of Lemming rip-off on the appstore already. It's finding it that is the problem.
I wrote this on my iPhone :) because I am lying bed. It's 12:48pm here in England. Good night ;)

The closest one I have is called Pakoon. It isn't true lemmings where each does a certain task, but almost close enough

[dannys95]

A port of Jaws: Unleashed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaws_Unleashed) would be.....................interesting.

Well I already gave an answer, but I just thought of another one. Braid from Xbox Live. I got that game a few weeks ago when it was on sale, and that has to be one of the most ingenious games I've played in my life. Super fun, and after you get stuck and finally figure out how to pass a certain part it's EXTREMELY gratifying! Haven't beat it yet, cause I'm playing with my iPod so dang much, but I think it could work quite well on an iDevice. Just get a little virtual control stick, and the game only needs 2 buttons. Beautiful graphics and gameplay, somebody make this happen!

[Lovelyman]

Halo, Call of Duty, Resistence, Counterstrike, Battlefront, Interactive Buddy

[Gavaphone]

Warcraft i, ii, or iii!!!!!!!!! Without doubts!!!!

[niz554]

Ace COmbat!!!!!!!! i mean come on the iphone is made for those kinds of games

[AchillesReborn]

Some people seem to be confusing the iphone with an xbox. Some of the port suggestions would have to be nerfed so much you'd barely recognise the game. For example, Simpsons hit'n'run is way way WAY beyond games like CJS/payback; it'd never work in it's current format. Warcraft 3, counterstrike, halo etc. are all far too complex and graphically demanding.

[foppajoe]

Since all other musical games fail.

how about bit trip beat for the wii?

What about Rhythm Heaven (http://rhythmheaven.com/) for DS?

What about Rhythm Heaven (http://rhythmheaven.com/) for DS?

that'd be great too. are their any good musical games for the iphone? The best I got is Eliss and I play that a lot just for the music.

[Vester]

starcraft, i would get that even if it was $20

[gscal]

Radio Flare? idk, I don't have it, but it sounds musical.

[foppajoe]

unfortunately, that so-called musical game fails the game part. the music is ok, though.

Yeah, lots of iDevice games have great music, but terrible gameplay. Anyways, I say port Rhythm Heaven.

[APPyhourreviews]

im gonna say halo, even though it probably wouldnt work out very well. If it did, it would be EPIC!

[TheKrazyRussian]

I would like to see the Sonic trilogy, Alien Front Online (Dreamcast) and Theme Hospital.

Pandemic 2

But with more depth

[Bigboo007]

I would really like to see carcassonne, I think it would be an easy game to port.

[RawrReptar]

i am gonna also have to add Gauntlet i think that would be perfect

[bigred447uk]

I would love to see Acornsoft Elite or either of the two sequels, Frontier and the other one can't remember the name ! A proper space trader with dogfighting, proper trading system, open-ended sandbox play, different classes and multi-player campaign mode with an amazing long story. All in an amazing simulation with proper Newtonian physics. :D
