I'd love to see elite ported over, duke nukem to name a few. -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of alex wallis Sent: 30 November 2011 14:15 To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] what other old dos games would people like to see ported to the iPhone
Hi list, I just sent this message to the viphone list without thinking, grr I hate it when I do things like that, I just filled in the address on autopilot without thinking. just thought I would throw this question out there to see what sort of replies come in, what other old dos games would people like to see ported to the iPhone? of course we shouldn't expect lots of games to now suddenly be ported to the iPhone, I doubt the developer who ported the 6 games we currently have will port every possible game under the sun. Speaking for myself, one game I would really like the ability to play on the iPhone is called humbug, its interactive fiction, but unusually the guy who wrote it didn't use a standard IF language, I think he wrote it in pascal. In fact he wrote several games, which he has now made freeware, though I don't think he released the source code to any of them. Jackaranda jim was also another funny one he did, though I was never able to beat that one. Humbug was cool because of the way all the puzzles were interconnected. Of course I can't use any of his games under windows 7 because it won't run 16 bit applications, but I have an old dos pc which I keep just for old games, its about 15 years old and still in full working order. To be honest I probably wouldn't play old dos style games that much, but they would be cool to have around for long car or train journeys. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
