http://www.thegaminguniverse.net

Has the following projects (which you can find info about on the forums, little to nothing on the main site yet, and on their own sites if they have any):

  • Zelda 2 Enhanced (enhanced remake of Zelda 2 on the NES + editor for your own quests)
  • Zelda: Link's Oddyssey (new game looking a bit like Zelda 3)
  • Special Unit Zero (Megaman X type game but with Zero instead of X)
  • Megaman X True Power (Megaman X type game with both X and Zero)
  • Enhanced Megaman X (remake of Megaman X)
  • Crossover (currently on hold)

Btw does anyone know what happend to the Megaman project, Megaman Classic or something?

Let's not forget the guy that originally created Zelda Classic, Phantom Menace. His website has a bunch of games he worked on including Tetris and a very good clone of Dr. Mario.

http://go.to/magicgraf is the home to Magicgrafx, which is working on, and has finished a few games for, a series of Sonic games. Their current project seems to be Sonic Chaos Revolution�. It has a choice between playing as Sonic or as Shadow.

Someone should really make a Metroid clone, because Metroid Classic is, well... Not there after almost a full year of development (translation: DELAYS).
I would help in any way I can.

Getting back on topic...

VegaStrike, originally a Wing Commander clone of sorts. It's a 30 meg download though, so I don't know how good it is, heh...

Incase you didn't read, cb has been delayed from real life stuff. I'm sure he'll get going on it when he can.

I'm still waiting for Nojobob to finish his game, "Special Unit #0"

BTW, a friend of mine from another forum has a great fan project.

Check it out here.

Well you could say that z2e is never gionna happen because it's been a year since we started and we aint out yet. But the truth is, it just takes time :shrug: so Metroid Classic will eventuate it's just on hold for a bit.

Don't forget Multi-Mario (also on hold) at http://www.sludgegames.com/

MottZilla 28 Mar 2002, 07:41

Yes. Projects like these take time. Esspecially when the people creating it have other things to deal with besides making the game.

I heard about this one game, it's called Zelda Classic. Do you guys know where I can find it?

THAT WAS A JOKE.

Thanks for the links all.

Hey, I found two games being made by the same people, which actually don't look too bad. One is Donkey Kong PC, a remake of Donkey Kong, and the other is Super Mario World DX, which is a remake of Super Mario World. I haven't tried the Donkey Kong game, but Super Mario World DX looks like it will be pretty good. It has some bugs, and it isn't perfect, but it's still in development, and what has been done looks great, and it actually plays like Super Mario World. By the way, it will have all-new levels, and there is a level editor available. It's a bit hard to use, though, because it's completely keyboard controlled and selecting tiles and moving the levels is a pain, but the point is, it's customizable. Dang, this is almost a competitor for Multi-Mario (not quite, but almost). Go check them out.

If you like it that much, why not use it yourself? It's not a custom avatar, you know. :newbie:

Oh. I hadn't seen it before. I'll stick with mine for now. But I did save it to my computer.

I understand. There are so many public avatars that it take at least three hours on a 56K to look at them all.

i tried getting a translation for tactics ogre going once, but nobody took me seriously i guess when i said id provide the material and they pretty much get a lot of credit for it. in fact, im still trying to find someone willing to do it since i have no skills when it comes down to hacking into roms and stuff to alter it. all i really need is someone to help with it. :kawaii: i guess the english-super famicon TO will never see the light.......
