So what are some classic games from around the 1995-2000 or earlier time period that could and should be ported? I say: MDK MDK 2 Warcraft I and II Starcraft I Age of Empires I Stronghold I Worms: World Party (or Armageddon) Unreal Tournament Army Men: Sarge's Heroes Rampage Roller Coaster Tycoon Escape Velocity Gauntlet Legends Diablo I Lemmings The list can go on and on... but these are my primary favorites.
I'd kill to see Diablo 1, Stronghold, AoE on the iphone. Some of the most influencing games ever made.
Secret of Evermore Earthbound Seiken Densetsu 3 (sequel to Secret of Mana - it was never given an American release and it is much better) Ogre Battle series Fire Emblem series Bahamut Lagoon Illusion of Gaia Terranigma Actraiser Tales of Phantasia + sequels Rampage a real Castlevania game instead of a decent puzzle game Starfox/Lylat Wars Yoshi's Island Super Mario RPG Paper Mario series Lunar Silver Star Story + sequels Breath of Fire Final Fantasy VI (III in America) Fallout 1 + 2 Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale? Maybe the interface would be too cluttered Lionheart Diablo I + II Grim Fandango The Curse of Monkey Island Descent series Timesplitters Summoner Parasite Eve series Legend of Mana Golden Sun a real Harvest Moon game instead of a shitty puzzle game Rune Factory Eye of the Beholder Torchlight - devs are working on an iPad version, but iPod Touch/iPhone would be nice a real, full-featured Oregon Trail game instead of a mismatch of three boring minigames :\ Half Life 1 Unreal SaGa series Pilotwings Mario Party Princess Maker The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past TMNT Ys series Mystery Dungeon series Goemon/Legend of the Mystical Ninja series Duke Nukem Forever LOLOLOL
Yeah, I can still play them on emulator or console, but it would be awesome to have them on the go. I hope Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy Tactics do well and give them more incentive to port.
Might&magic 6, 7 and 8 Final Fantasy 6, 7, 8, and 9 Slime World Chips Challenge (we are getting the next best thing a new game by the same programmer) Legend of Dragoon Maniac Mansion 2 Day of the Tentacle Broken Sword 2 Gauntlet (the real one not legends) Star Ocean Breat of Fire 3 and 4 Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, 4 and Code Veronica
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/webcc/id372666894?mt=8 doubt it's the original person, and it is overpriced, but it's Chip's Challenge. I got it when it was still 0.99.
saw it to looks interesting but not for that price i rather wait for this http://www.chuckschallenge.com/
From PC: All Sierra Adventure games (Kings Quest series, Leisure Suit Larry Series, Police Quest series, etc.) All Lucas Arts Adventure games (rest of Monkey Island series, Sam N Max, etc.) SiN Quake Series No One Lives Forever Strife SNES: Soul Blazer Secret of Mana Secret of Evermore
Anyone remember a game for the old Macintosh called "Escape Velocity" by Ambrosia Software? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_Velocity_%28video_game%29 http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/ev/ Are there any clones or clone-attempts for this game on the Appstore?
I'll be one of the first to get FF Tactics once it comes out, one of my all time favs. I'm trying to think of a logical port, since some of the ones mentioned already require shoulder buttons, also any rpg too obvious . . . hmm so that leaves Nintendo games that made good use of a d-pad and 2 buttons. I wouldn't mind seeing: TMNT Arcade Mario 3 Tecmo Super Bowl Contra Ikari Warriors w/WiFi multiplayer GBA Castlevanias GBA Metroids GBA Ninja Five-O (probably the greatest pocket game that not many knew about, if you like ninjas of course) Those I can never see happening are anything Mario, or Metroid due to first party license.
Cool thing about TMNT Arcade on the NES is it only required 2 buttons so it wouldn't be that hard to port! And yes the first Contra was seriously bad ass, I played it recently and the style has held up well over time.
Here is my short list: 1. Crazy Climber (my favorite arcade game, not sure how it would handle with a touch screen) 2. Rook, the card game 3. Zoo Tycoon 4. A MTG type card game 5. Monster Rancher 6. Everblue 2 or a similar scuba diving game 7. Afrika or a similar safari photo shoot game 8. Jambo! Safari 9. Phantasy Star Online Thats all I can think of for now.
I'm genuinely surprised to see such sensible answers in one of these threads. Usually by now we've had Ocarina of Time, Gears of War, Crysis, GTA: San Andreas...
Crysis... It's funny that there are probably still top of the line PC's that can't run that damn game on max specs.
