Hi Dark, Well, if I could find the sounds, music, etc to do it I might be tempted to try a Turrican clone. I'd have to get m hands on an original too to get a feel for the game play, but if I could fulfill those requirements I'd give it a try with the Genesis Engine.As you know from MOTA I think all of the necessary code is or will be in place for a game like that. As for enemies above or below you in MOTA pressing the v key will announce where items and enemies are in relationship to you. If you have a better way of doing this I'd like to hear it.
