Programming SCUMM is doable on g9k, even on sc5 with some artistic restrictions.. but the main issue is: who's going to draw all of it?

Just port SCUMMVM to MSX....

What I like to see:
- a new pinball game like Pinball Fantasies (for GFX9000 or VSCREEN maybe?)
- a SCUMMVM/Larry kind of RPG
- a good new racing game
- a Dune 2 like game for MSX (Paragon got quite far with DOME...)

-9 on the new pinball game, SCUMMVM port and a decent RTS (Dune 2 etc)!

Football/soccer

wolf_ the idea behind SCUMM for GFX9000 would be using the original art from the original games, from their original CD-ROMs (and, if needed, using a conversion script to offer things in easier-to-chew-on chunks to the MSX). Just as SCUMMVM, you'd need the original games on order to be able to play them tho.

I highly agree on the pinball as well.

That's my selection too (Pinball in SC5).
I would add:
- A Turrican clone
- MSX2 version of Green Beret (love the game, hate the MSX version)

and a modern version of some "classics" like Galaga 88 or a port of Videopac's Crazy Chase and Terrahawk.

I rally liked "HUNCHBACK" from Ocean when I was younger, I cant find a version of it that is keyboard only though!

Howabout trying to actually make one (or more) of these things happen? Anyone willing to tackle SCUMMVMSX, or a great pinball game?

I'd love to see that too. But doing it right is much more difficult than you'd initially think.

On g9k that should not even be a challenge. Codewise anyway. But original content requires professional gfx artists.

It's on my todo list Check back in a few years

That would be a nice project actually. With the same limitations as Dune 2, it should be possible. It would be a nice addition to the MSX. Never seen anything about DOME though. Must have been my time away.

Anyway, better finish current projects before starting something new.

Master of Orion, or better, Galactic Civilizations 2.

Daiva just isn't enough.

Boring

If no-one would make original games it would just be another coder's-showcase, the interesting part would be the creation of NEW games, not just msx-versions of MI 1,2,3, DotT, Sam & Max etc. Perhaps the scumm format could be used, essentially this would mean your msx-games would be playable at PC as well.

Edwin, check the Paragon site on DOME.

Iirc the 1st and 2nd alpha/beta/release candidates are freeware... but it'd be best if Whizzy can confirm this

This is the AD&D game I mean

do not look at the graphic but at the gameplay, that, trust me is very intriguing

I can recall a certain group doing a pinball game in the style of pinball fantasies for gfx9000 and moonsound... giving the gfx artists close to 100% artistic freedom...
