    The Point Blank games where my favorite light gun games of all time! I'd take a fun light gun game like that over something like Time Crisis anyday... hello Namco!

    I had figured the control would be the huge main issue and figured it would almost be impossible....didnt see the control method suggested but I would maybe suggest ....

    Having a touch to jump method and a virtual analog stick on the side like idracula has for moving. Again the problem as said was it would get in your way but I would suggest moving the stick to the other side of the screen depending where your character is but that could make it even trickier so I doubt it.

    Or I would just suggest cutting a small area of the bottom left screen from the level to have a virtual analog stick there, the good thing about N+ levels is they come in all varieties and that area is not crucial to making a good level.

    I just got FATE from this weekend's MacUpdate promo (http://www.mupromo.com/) and I was thinking how great it would be to see an iDevice companion port so I can play my character when I am at home, or out and about. So I vote for FATE.

    To be honest, I imagine the developer has considered numerous such control schemes.

    Star Control is an old favorite of mine too. I remember playing the awful port of Star Control 1 on the Sega Genesis for hours! #2 added so much more it's still a great game today...

    We wouldn't mind tackling this project, but the only problem is: If we used that source, graphics, audio, etc it would have to be a free game due to the GPL and Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. These would forbid a commercial version in the app store unless the original authors signed off their rights on it.

    I know that's not a problem to gamers ;) but a struggling game start-up shop like ours needs to actually make some money if we ever want to quit our day jobs and make games full time :D

    This classic is definitely up our alley... Maybe Toys For Bob wouldn't mind us giving it the treatment... If you guys are listening let us know. :cool:

    There's this little game called "Gears of War".

    It's a trilogy but based on what the iPhone can do, I think we can fit all three in there! I contacted the developer and they said they were porting it now with the full ORIGINAL graphics and online multiplayer!

    Cool. I think "Gears of War" would push the iPhone to the limit but it should work............more or less.

    It's being ported? GO MAKE A THREAD!!
