Jamie Woodhouse has reminded us of an EXCELLENT classic game from BBC/Amiga days... but, better still, he's pointed out a PC "remake" that looks to be a considerable upgrade to the original BBC version, and he's considering porting it to the Pandora (which we should encourage).
This thread is intended for everyone to help each other find the authors behind their favourite games from years gone by in the hopes of requesting Pandora ports, or perhaps there are "remakes" out there that could be ported?
I will hope to keep the second post as a "contents" page which I'll update from tiem to time, listing games, their remakes, and their cotnact details VERY simply in the hopes that we can get some great old games working natively rather than just by emulation.
Bear in mind that these are likely to be mostly commercial games and that, therefore, most authors would want to sell us their games rather than just put in graft for nothing! ESPECIALLY if the games are to be upgraded to make use of the modern platform. Could be interesting...
Hmmm if I reply to my own post it seems to add to it... so I guess I'll keep the list of games here then!
Chuckie Egg
Elite
My best hope for this looks to be "Oolite" at:
http://oolite.org/

especially as the source code is GPL'd (however, I'm unable to code myself but maybe SOMEONE could port it to Pandora?)
Exile
Football Manager (BBC/Atari 800)
Frak!
Let me know if you REALLY meant "Frag", but I suspect it's "Frak!" you meant
Frenzy
IIRC this is simply a remake of "Qix", but a competant addictive one.
Galaxian
Lemmings
It may be that Pingus:

is our best hope for a Lemmings-alike for the Pandora - assuming someone can recompile it (with any necessary changes).
Repton
There's a commercial PC version - the current version of Superior Software may be amenable to a Pandora port?

Sensible Soccer
Sentinel, The
From Firebird Software, fairly...original and addictive as I recall.
Thrust
Essentially this was a clone of the arcade game Gravitar by Atari. There have, I'm sure, been numerous remakes of Thrust and/or Gravitar.
