Quite a few people from Retro Remakes are RG readers, and drop in here.
If you're not aware, RR is about people remaking classic games,
doing the programming, graphics and sounds themselves.
"Jet Set Willy Online" (in the current RG) is an example,
made by some of our most talented members.
I've only just started remaking... my game is a remake of OpWolf using Lego.
And this weekend, level 1 of "Operation Block."
will be playable at Retrovision 2007 in Oxford, UK.
I'm hoping Jeff Minter might give my game a go!
RetroRemakes is a nice community.
Always looking for new members who'd like to help remake classic games.

Yeah, I dabble in game-creation software as well. I've been using Clickteam's stuff for yearsMr_Staypuft wrote:Gamemaker

I made a Hunchback remake a couple of months ago using Blitz Plus,

I'm currently working on the sequel.

This does raise an interesting topic. Just how long does it take to make an old 8 bit game these days? Whenever programmers are interviewed they always say something along the lines of "well I had a deadline of 6-8 weeks to program the game from scratch". Times have moved on and I would have thought that people pretty much know the limits of these machines nowadays.
So how long (realisticly) would it take to make a game from scratch?

90% finished a vb.net remake of Kaiser a couple of years ago (old c64 multi player strategy game). Never managed to get the war mode working properly. You can download it from my website if you want http://www.kaiserpc.co.uk
Started but never completed a vb.net remake of Sorcerer Lord (fantasy based war game released on all the 8-bits and 16-bits). Got the movement phase completed, but had trouble getting the enemy AI coded. I'll go back to it eventually.
