> Oh yes, sims, I forgot about that genre...
The first game I played on my old A500 was Interceptor...... Then managed to get hold of Falcon and all my frustrated jet pilot tendancies were taken care of LOL! I can remember when those titles really were state of the art sims, and I still play Combat Flight Sim 1&2 (yes, I know who publishes it!) whenever I can. I also love playing Sierra's Grand Prix Legends too. Yep, real eye-candy simulations on the AOne would probably be a foolish indulgence right now but I wouldn't complain if Hyperion surprised me with one (make it Grand Prix Legends please)!
> If we could have some original titles which looked nice, and played fantastic, that should draw some attention.
Couldn't agree more. Every new gaming system has had it's headline titles to entice the punters - look at Sega/Sonic, Nintendo/Mario and WipeOut/PS1. This is also a reason why the Mac gaming market has never taken off - most of their titles are just PC ports. Why is anyone going to take up with a new platform to play a game that has been available on PC/PS2 etc for months and is now proably discounted at retailers anyway? Come on guys, we need another Lemmings/Worms/Turrican to grab the attention of the cynics!
People wanting serious applications shouldn't be forgotten either. Hence Protracker, but wouldn't an update of Photogenics be great? If the platform is to grow then it needs to appeal broadly to geeks and gamers alike. |
