    It would have been easy to do a pixel for pixel, sound for sound conversion of the arcade game with those exact same distinctive graphics in all its 1983 256x256 pixelated glory. Unfortunately, that would have also been a sure recipe to get sued. For folk that enjoy the gameplay of classic arcade beat 'em ups like Kung Fu Master, and would like to play them again on an iDevice, Karate Fighter remains the next best thing.

    yes. you dont have much choice. not your fault, and i'm not criticizing your game in any artistic or technical aspect at all, because in reality it's a 'better', more polished and playable game than the original, but you know what i mean.

    how close to the original can you stay without the threat of being sued though? thats the question. a question probably only answered by a judge in a court of law.

    If anyone hasn't said it already.. i think Uniracers from SNES would be pretty good. Using the accelerometer/tilt. I had tons of fun on that game.

    lolwat?

    The word 'owned' was typoed roughly 6 bajillion times during zerg rushes, and noto-pking at the xroads of Brittania. Now we have 'pwned' which is in a tremendously heated rivalry with:

    win
    fail
    epic anything

    for the title of, 'Words That Instantly Make You Look Like a Complete Asshole When Used.'

    Of course. That game is FUN! They should also bring Apogee's old games (Crystal Caves, and Hocus Pocus, in particular). But what I mostly want is Diablo/Diablo II/Diablo III with multiplayer support. That would be KICKASS!

    I am going to have to agree with s0mah on this, but I would also add any words where a 3 has been used in place of an E or (sorry s0mah) an O has been used in place of an o.

    Kepler, Eric Shaman, and fearless are now my favorite new posters for recommending Star Control II, Commander Keen, and Tetrisphere (a game that I will always refer to as "Phear" because that's what it was called when it was in development for Jaguar before Nintendo scooped it up as an exclusive).

    But, may I add, since this platform has reinvigorated my love for adventure games:

    Snatcher

    and

    Policenauts (finally translated!!!)

    That would just make me forgive Kojima for MGS: Touch. Not that MGST was a bad game...but, c'mon...it was basically the shooter portions of the MGS4 flash game that was on the MGS4 website.

    Except Marathon >>>> DOOM.

    Seriously.

    Game was much more in depth than DOOM.

    And...y'know...it was a Mac game...so, y'know....

    *sighs

    It'll never happen though. MS may not own them outright anymore, but they hold enough of Bungie where the latter's constant cries of "we're independent" make me laugh. MS doesn't own their asses totally anymore, but they've still got MS's handmark on a butt cheek. :p
