This Has Probably Been Done A Million Times, But..

[RoboJoe32]

I think a SCORCHED (correct, forgive my stupidity early in the morning) earth clone done with some decent graphics, some nice smooth animation (tanks could idle, treads/gears move when you move, Weapon explosions would be nice, etc...) and weapons (and a few selectable tanks) would be pretty fun. And might be a GP seller. (Could have two player on the same GP32 due to turn based factor)

Sure, there's worms and a few emulated games, and rally pop (like, a dumbed DOWN version...) But it's just not the same...

Whaddya think? (Yes, i'm sorry for wasteing valuable time and post space, But it's just something to throw onto the suggestion pile)

Edit: Again, forgive me, My brain fails to function in the morning.

Have you got any pics,Im looking for a first game to port.

 

[RoboJoe32]

Well, no screenshot I could find, But basicly it's like the father of the worms series(Gorilla being the grand father)

You played as a tank, could move a TINY BIT each turn, but mostly stayed in one place on terrain with hills and such, And you used angles and varying power to shoot. And you had multiple weapons to choose from, each destroying different amounts of terrain, or doing another effect entirely.

Edit: YOU MAY be able to find it on the net, but I dunno if windows XP or anything higher than 98 will be friendly towards it's older DOS format.

 

[blipped4]

Do you have the source code?

 

[RoboJoe32]

hmm, That's odd.....

I swore I found source before, now I can't even find the game download in binary form :blink:

Anyone care to give me a hand in the search?

I might have the wrong game here, but I found a game called Shattered Earth:

Surely this is can't be the one with an address like that? can it?

Rally Pop is what you're looking for. Somewhat similar to Shattered Earth, although it costs money. You can grab it at entware I beleive.

 

[RoboJoe32]

Neither of those are it, the SE shattered earth is a side scroller I believe.... I could be wrong ( I remember finding the same game, only to find that it was an akward yet interesting side scroller, not the tank game) is scorched earth even available as abandonware or source code?

this is a playerworld made with the PlayerWorld's engine *lol*

it's basically a MMORPG but more on a ORPG side. The program it uses used to be called Mirage and had 1 official server till the coder sold it to some chick whom used soe of it for somthing she was doing then i duno wtf happend... she put it up on a site caling it playerworlds and left it i guess ^^;;

I think RoboJoe32 meant Scorched Earth

 

[gp32animefreak]

I still and always will think, there should be a YS 1and2 port, because gpengine cant play iso's(i also cant find the iso....nudge nudge pm)

 

[RoboJoe32]

Wow, i'm an idiot

I have no friggin clue where the shattered came from, :blink: Forgive my stupidity and wastes of your time, changing subject

And to Anime...

Genesis had a version of YS on it I think... Probably not the same though

 

[ThndrShk2k]

I think RoboJoe32 meant Scorched Earth

yeah, there is this scorched earth clone or such made by the same dude thats making Payback

if anyone can actually exract and veiw the source then we prolly could port it XD

 

[RoboJoe32]

Yep, i'm quite brain dead at times....STILL have no clue where the shattered part came in....


Edit: Extract? Ah, he uses that backwards lha format... I THINK ultimate zip can support it.... It's pretty easy to find on the net.... (re-edit: Awww, classic amiga only? =/ I wanted to play...)

 

[Zero3K]

Hmm, maybe someone should try porting this: http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/

actually get winrar, works on virtually any compression

just need to know howto open a .AMOS file

FrontalAssault.AMOS is the file inside the LHA file
