what should we add next - part II

[CatalystiCam]

Jaguar or 3do maybe?

out of those... I'd say, well, my dad wants intellivision since it's the main console he played, I'd say Virtual boy I suppose

are old computer games possible to add, like old windows games?

I am about 80% sure that they would work. They would take more effort than 32X and Atari but I think it is possible. And I think it would be really cool.

I would have to buy the books off of ebay, scan them, and then make a system for jumping to the correct page.

Cam you should know the answer to Jag and 3DO by now.

Virtual Boy would be more of a novelty. Everyone wants to see how bad it is but few would actually play it. On top of it sucking in real life it would be even worse on a 2D screen.

There are some windows games that would work. I don't know how many good ones though.

When I said weak I didn't mean anything about your effort to add them. I meant I doubt many people would care and it might be a dud.

I still think that the laser disk games would be the best to add on the site. Then we could have the laser disk of Dragons Lair the way that I remember it. Along with a bunch of other awesome games.

[Kugyince]

MSX, C64, or Intelli.

[Belmontzar]

MSX 1 I have never heard of..
c 64 and Dos Id like to see...
Choose your owns I like but not sure how it would work on a program..
2XL and Laser disk also sound cool, but again I have no idea what they are..
Virtual boy; that Red screen? plus its supposed to be motion related..... no
Intellevision: yeah.. this is good^^

More flash is always good.
old radio: HITCHHIKERS GUIDE FOR THE WIN! (RU +marvin the paranoid android? HELLS YEAH)
VCR games? Know what they are but have no idea how the would work.. 0.o
HACKS and translations are cool
Well those are my thoughts..

[Kong]

Making sure everyone understands the choices.

1. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX"]MSX 1[/ame] - games similar to ColecoVision. Java and ArcadeOX will be supported. No Scores.
2. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64"]Comadore64 [/ame]- because it was a computer and not a console there will be some load times and confusing menus. Java and ArcadeOX will be supported. No Scores.
3. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CategoryOS_games"]DOS[/ame] - games similar to ColecoVision. Some people may find starting games to be confussing. Java and ArcadeOX will be supported. No Scores.
4. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamebook"]Choose Your Own Adventure Books[/ame] - You get to choose how a story turns out. Just reading. No scores.
5. 2XL - Kind of like an audio version of choose your own adventure. Lots trivia questions and corny humor. Flash. No scores.
6. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laserdisc_video_game"]Laser Disk[/ame] - Stuff like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. The real thing not the watered down console ports. They will be added one game at a time. Flash and score support.
7. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellivision"]Intellivision[/ame] - Similar to ColecoVision. The controller looked kind of like a calculator. It had plastic overlays that you had to put over the controller that explained what each of the many buttons did. Most of the game will be awkward on a keyboard . Java and ArcadeOX will be supported. No Scores.
8. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Boy"]Virtual Boy[/ame] - This is the 3D Nintendo System. It was very unpopular and only has a few games. It will be even worse in 2D. It is mainly just a novelty. ArcadeOX only and scores.
9. More Flash Games - Obvious
10. Old Radio Shows - Like War of the Worlds. Stuff that your grandparents listened to before there was TV. Flash audio.
11. VCR Games - You have to play them in groups and they are much more like the Wolf Forum game than a video game.
12. More hacks and translations of games for systems we already have.
13. None - Improve the existing systems before adding more
14. You can suggest other stuff. Of course stuff like 3DO, Sega CD, Playstation and Xbox are not going to be added. If it has a CD or is less than 10 years out of development then the answer is no.

[Belmontzar]

-looks at web pages-

Alot of those are cool, though the VCR,virtual boy, and Game books seem kinda pointless..

yeah i agree i think that you guys should put up neo geo things next

[sabby]

I would be in heaven if RU had IntelliVision.

[Winnebagel]

I love the idea of having radio shows. I remember listening to the old radio plays like The Shadow, and Dragnet. Fun!

[CatalystiCam]

How old of windows games would we be talking here? Because, I was thinking along the lines of pc games like rollercoaster tycoon or decent or sim city 2000.

If so, my vote goes to old pc games.

I have a PS2 game with a whole bunch of IV games. I literally only spent about a quarter for a working copy of this game.

I vote we improve our current systems before we go crazy with new ones.

Age isn't the only question. It is not an easy question to answer.
Rollercoaster tycoon = A big no way
decent = no
sim city 2000 = maybe

This poll is closed. Right now we are not voting. We are making a top 10 list to put on the next poll.

[CatalystiCam]

well, old pc games is still something I'd like if possible, My Gramps has sim city 2000 on his old windows 95 pc at the lake, It came with the computer, I like the game a lot.

... If you can add pc games, even really simplistic ones, it would still be one great acomplishment, I think it should be looked at for the future, whether it's in a month or (a) year(s), it would still be wicked.

[Dudebro]

Why not just buy simcity2000 for like 9.99? I swear I saw it recently bundled with other sim games and the whole thing was 9.99 or 14.99. I think old PC games would be a waste when they're so easy to get in stores or by downloading.

[sezthemank]

When old Pc games are mentioned
Does this mean games like Broken sword?
because that game is old, its over a decade old.

[Kong]

Broken Sword = No.
Descent = Maybe for DOS games.

Here is some examples of possible Windows type games. ArcadeOX - Play any game in your web browser

[CatalystiCam]

Descent on DOS eh, cool.

@DB, I can't shop online nor do any stores really sell old games... plus it's once in a blue moon I get driven to the pawn shop since the youngest of my older brothers liscence expired, I just think it'd be cool.

[Dudebro]

Yeah it would be cool but there's other retro systems that would be cooler to add way before PC. PC has a gigantic library of games but like I said they aren't hard for most people to get, for free or cheap. It wouldn't really improve the site overall imo. I think it would clutter it up with tons of lame games that I see in the bargain bin at target.

[CatalystiCam]

I suppose, someday, it should be added though...

[Kong]

Knowing how much time each will require should help with narrowing down the list.

1. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX"] MSX[/ame] - fast
2. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64"] Commodore_64[/ame] - medium
3. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CategoryOS_games"] CategoryOS_games[/ame] - slow
4. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamebook"] Gamebook[/ame] - slow
5. 2XL - fast
6. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laserdisc_video_game"] Laserdisc_video_game[/ame] - slow
7. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellivision"] Intellivision[/ame] - medium
8. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Boy"] Virtual_Boy[/ame] - fast
9. More Flash Games - medium
10. Old Radio Shows - medium

12. More hacks and translations - fast
13. None - Improve the site and existing systems before adding more - slow
14. Atari Lynx - medium
15. NeoGeo Pocket - medium
16. More coin-op games - slow

[CatalystiCam]

DOS, Virtual boy & Intellivision.

[Dudebro]

Why do people want Virtual Boy? I think it's a waste of a spot when we could add a good system with good games. I sure as hell won't vote/donate towards that piece of garbage even if it's just for the nostalgia or w/e.

[sezthemank]

I just think you should Inprove the site to be honest.
