What we want to do is make a nice multi-cart with the original Atari 2600
feel but in hand-held form. Here is some games that have been suggested
already (feel free to mention these carts in your lists as well):
I'm a little confused here. Is this an emulation or porting project?
* Dodge'Em
* Journey Escape
* BMX Airmaster
* Qb
Be careful with 3rd party titles. Journey Escape is Data Age. I do not
think Infogrames has the rights to this, not to mention the whole licensing
issue of the rock band.
Some people are listing Activision and Imagic titles as well, and that
would not really be economical for Infogrames since it would involve
licensing from Activision.
I don't know which rights Infogrames inherited with the Hasbro Interactive
purchase. Hasbro themselves could have claimed ownership of a lot of 3rd
party tites through their acquisition of other board game companies like
Parker Brothers and Avalon Hill.
Andrew Davie has shown interest in this project and has allowed us to use
Qb as an Easter-Egg option, which makes us very estatic to have one of the
best games for the Atari 2600 made in the last few years (and even the
past decade).
If new games are to be considered, I wouldn't ignore Oystron. For my money
that's the best of the hobby games.
Mainly we need a list of games that would be fun and worthy of the
GBA. If everyone can come up of a list of 25-50 games, we can then see
which are the best choices overall and then go from there. You don't have
to come up with 25-50 choices, you can go as high or as low as you want in
your list. We are just trying to be as impartial as possible and see what
everyone likes.
Whatever you do, DON'T do swordquest. Most people hate those games.
If the theme of the title is games that are often overlooked, I'd include:
Haunted House (rather than Adventure)
Radar Lock (flicker might not look good on LCD, though)
Save Mary (unreleased titles would be a good idea, I think, although some
paperwork shuffling would be necessary to determine what to do with the
contractors [AXLON])
