When my friends saw intersteller flames they were gobsmacked! Is it hard to make a game like that? 3d type one but better playability ofcourse.

No one has made the simple but cool game, Asteroids. Or have they? A nice colourful version would be good.

[awarner]

As requested in Software by Eran and Flash any chance of  
Bubble Bobble being developed (or a clone if the source code is not available)

[squall]

starwars would kick ass, also final fantasy, but thats sooo much more complex

[midnight]

ok, as far as bubble bobble goes, i just needed a coder cos i can use the same gfx as bub and bob in pacland and i know a musician who is doing the music for bub and bob, so he will do the music for bubble bobble aswell.

hmm, been thinking about this how about these games

shinobi
frogger
paper boy
simpsons arcade
star wars
amsoft games like harrier attack, amoung others there is a ce emulator.

note- will be paul, tried editing my picture but wouldnt change for some reason?

[Monolithix]

Harrier attack!

That is a blast from the past.  Definately one for the list

[kingdom master]

what about afterburner or golden axe!!!!!!!!!wow yes yes yes!!!!lol

[midnight]

yeh, and i also think people should think about the amount of work involved with making games, stuff like pacman, galaga etc are simple enough to make, but things like afterburner, shinobi, paperboy etc would take much too long, and to be honest if those games where to be made you would have to pay for it, and then they would be new games not conversions (due to copyright)
all games programmers who are doing this for free currently do not have the time nor resources to make these big games.

[JaToAc]

yeah, let's keep the games simple... it's a phone after all. let's update some good old classics with new gfx, snd end efx but keep them simple. i'm jsut playing these things in damn boring meetings, train rides or when waiting for me girl to get finished dressing.

all your base are belong to us  :wink:

[Charlie Mouse]

Now we have Pacman how about Asteroids?

[muff]

Charlie Mouse: Screen aspect ratio is wrong for asteroid, or that would have been my first game

[JaToAc]

now that we have our 'wish-list', what about:

Loderunner and Pitfall

two classics worth playing...

[neilfenstein]

Does anyone remember Flashback and Prince of Persia?
I understand that these are pretty big games but they would be good looking games and the format may suit the SPV well.

[PaulOBrien]

What's the possibility of porting MAME to SmartPhone?

[neilfenstein]

I forgot to say, I saw my mates 7650. Swear word I know, but he had these Java games. Summer Games and Snowboarding.

I know they are java   They did look cool but they seem pretty simple. In Summer games you had to tap the numbers in the same sequence as they appeared on the screen. Snowboarding was just left and right down a halfpipe and a couple of trick buttons.

What I was thinking is with the quality of the graphics in games such as bub & bob these games could look better on the SPV but keep the simple playable button bashing gameplay. Making them not as complicated but very popular.

P.S. would love to be able to code a game. So i can keep making my inferior phone owner mates wishing they had an SPV!!

surely asteroids could be done without problems, easiest way is to crop the screen so that it is square, or, if you require more width just rotate the screen

[DJHope]

I rekon a master system/gamegear emulator!

superb games - not sure the SPV controls are up to the task though

will investigate playability at this size
