Which coin-op game should have been on the Speccy?

[Wall_Axe]

R-Type maybe?


although after the terrible nemesis conversion, I'm thinking it wouldnt be much better.

uuuuuuhhhhh...

[RMartins]

Are you kidding ?
R-type is one of the best Arcade conversions ever made for the Spectrum.

[R-Tape]

No chance.

Giant bosses, huge numbers of colourful sprites, bullets, effects, large scrolling background. It'd have to be a treacle slow monochrome affair. Just not possible on the Speccy.

(Seriously Wall-Axe? You've never seen Speccy R-Type? Neither SC nor WoS can help with a file download as it's denied, but you have an appointment with Google.)

[Wall_Axe]

You've been trolled

[R-Tape]

You sir, and I apologise for the language, are a bounder :-p

[redballoon]

You’ve just made it onto my list, Wall_Axe. MY LIST OF ONE!

[R-Tape]

You sir, and I apologise for the language, are a bounder :-p

Again I apologise in case damsels or children are reading, but I'd like to upgrade this to scoundrel.

[Wall_Axe]

ok you can put scoundrel under my username

i cant think of any games in the arcade that have not been converted so this is another useless post

Mr Do’s Castle. Would have been pretty easy to do and the screen layout would have been easyish to fill with colour.

I was recently playing Combatribes. If you don't know it, it's an arcade beatemup game, done by the same guys who earlier did Renegade.

And you know what? It really feels like a proper sequel to Renegade. It's the same style of game - small area of fighting, first some regular enemies, later fight with the boss. And it's pretty cool.





You can watch video here (I don't know yet how to embed Youtube on this forum):

or play it online (SNES version, very good but missing a few moves from arcade)

Seeing it on Spectrum would be great.
