Which games use teleporting ?

[marenja]

subj

Tujad, Equinox, Exolon, Earth Shacker. Probably Boulder Dash has them too.

Freddy Hardest uses a sort of teleporting with dark rooms.

Feud has a spell. It's an important part of Starquake.

[textvoyage]

Lunar Jetman. And Weird Island!

I can only think of Egghead in Space at the moment, but there will be loads.

Of the newer homebrew games, Cosmic Payback uses them pretty frequently, with a few puzzles built around their characteristics.

[Oloturia]

Worse Things Happens at Sea features the Supa-step, which is a kind of teleport.

[Evil Genius]

Firelord

Shadowfire

Mercenary

One could argue the secret passages in Atic Atac are essentially teleports since they move the player across the map

[Bernie]

Deviants

[Einar Saukas]

Perhaps we should have a "theme" tag in ZXDB for "Teleport"?

[Gooeyblob]

Chaos has an unused teleport spell, however does turmoil count?!

[Stefan]

Avalon and Dragontorc.

[Cosmium]

Quadron

[Hank Scorpio]

Dynamite Dan 2, on one of the levels you can collect a certain object that teleports back to the start if you fall into the water.

This is good idea. But ... we need to have clear terms and conditions when we add such tag for a game. I would object adding Freddy Hardest as it uses not teleports but secret passages, wormholes (to be honest).

I have never played this game. Do you mean this is teleporting (timed 0:35-0:39) ?


Secret passage with dark room in Freddy Hardest

This is very unusual situation to use teleporting on-demand and have no teleport construction or building. Well ... this is ... Valve's Portal !

[worcestersource]

Jet Set Willy II? It’s been a while since I played it.

Surely that's falling down to a lower level of the building?

[Pobulous]

Super G-Man has phonebox-style teleports.

No, that's falling down a trapdoor to the level below.

Watch the video from 4:22 - the knight first goes through a doorway to the next room, returns to the first room then goes through the clock to a different room on the other side of the map.

The pink line here shows how the two rooms are linked by the clock:

[Morkin]

...I think you'd have to define teleporting something like 'stepping into a teleport device and being obviously relocated to another similar device, perhaps with some sort of animation'.

If we define it as 'moving the player to another room', we're gonna be listing 30% of the games in the archive

[Mpk]

A lot of tile-based games don't animate movement, so I am going to obnoxiously suggest that the characters are therefore constantly teleporting a couple of feet every time they move.

[SteveSmith]

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to know?
