New Upcoming CV Games?

[Aswald]

This is an interesting site. If these games are in fact going to be released for the CV, then there are a couple I'd be interested in, especially Bagman.

I am aware of the site for a while. It will be taking a while for all or most of the games on the site being released.

Lock 'n' Chase, Mr. Do's Wild Ride and Bubble Bobble would be good to great additions for Colecovison when they are release.

I have to say the programmer doing different types of genres is great.

There's not even a screenshot of Bagman, so I'm not going to hold out much hope for that one. Looks like they have their plates full with all the other titles. Are those other games just unreleased prototypes that they completed, because those screengrabs look a bit too slick for hobbyist programmers.

Well, of course it's impossible to tell how the game will look, or even if it will ever exist, but I'll still keep an eye open for it.

There used to be a Bagman game in the cellar arcade of Dutchess Community College back in the mid-1980s. I did like it, but man, was it difficult. Looked easy, but somehow those guards always seemed to corner you.

Now, should Tunnels and Trolls actually appear...

They're mock-ups AFAIK, not actual screenshots, but the finished products should end up resembling those shots.

When you have all the time in the world compared to the few months the programmers origionally had(plus accumulated knowledge of all the programming tricks) sometimes homebrew games look better than originals. Also, today your nowhere near as limited by memory restraints as you were back then so your more free to go nuts packing as much in as you can.

yeah their games looks GOOD and looking forward to buying their games

Just look at Opcode's Space Invaders Collection and Pac-Man Collection.
