Glad to hear. I personally think theres a big gap in the market for a true retro gamebox with games 'based' on past classics. Theres a lot individually out there but i would love to have a compilation full of lots of similar type of games. A lot of great 80's games had basic graphics and sound but the gameplay was brilliant and thats key to games. Thats why i play many of them 30 years later as the gameplay was brilliant. I'll be looking forward to seeing what ones will be coming.
We do have some games based on older games , but we mixed old style and newer style games. Also we used "what if " senarios like Oikong where you control the ape and throw the barrels. Like Sonicfire said we will make more of the older games , but for the launch we just wanted to make a blend.
If there is a Retro game you like , please list it in this thread. As we update the games you look for will be considered. We will always add new elements to gameplay and make a better version of whats avalible. Thank you all for the valuable feedback!!
Good list , donkey kong is a classic. I love popeye too. Me and my partner would love and encourage feedback on retrogames you loved as we countdown toward the release of RetroGameBox!!
Excellent choices , we will add those type of games to the RetroGameBox but with added flair. Me and my partner love feedback , Iam so excited I cant wait till apple appoves the game and its launched.
Think you should try to include variations on some of the classic 80's games. Eg a shoot up em up like Gorf. Space Invaders/Galaxians are fine but Gorf was a mix of all of them, different levels etc and worked very well. A Bombjack clone would be great, Mighty Bombjack is even better as it scrolls so its a much bigger playing area. Ladybug was a great variation on the Pacman style of game. The thing is a lot of these retro games are very basic graphics/sound-wise but the gameplay is brilliant and thats one reason why we still play these classics all these years later. If someone brought out a 'MAME style' compilation with lots of remakes of old classics i think they'll do very well
Its funny you mentioned Mame as I was playing badd dudes and vigilate the other day. They were both simple beat'em ups but were very fun to play. Also what me and my partner have done so far is take classic games and added a spin to most of them. Also we have taken some charators like donkey kong and made an original game with that concept. That way you can play your favorites in new games with familiar themes. We also took 2 or 3 existing games from iphone and made our own versions with power-ups and traps not found in the original games to make them more fun. Thanks for the feedback it helps us decide what to include in the Free updates. Our personal goal is to be king of the gameboxes , and we busted our a$$ to make it happen. Iam overwhelmed at the response and cant wait till RetroGameBox takes the iphone store by storm. I thank everyone who has added feedback very much for your ideas and support.
Thanks for all the suggestions, we will see that we can implement most of them soon! The Gamebox is currently beeing prepared for upload to Appstore and will be uploaded this evening - finally!!
We are too! It feels like a long wait , the whole process of making diffferent games and added elements to each one to make is special. It was a long process but we had a vision to make each game easy to get into but challenging to master. The response from everyone here has been overwhelming and positive. Right now we are working on the updates to make this gamebox even more of a value.
I like old school style arcade But I cant see well on screen, it's quite small somehow... I'm looking forward to see more updates and bigger ^^
Ok we where going to upload it earlier then added some features to some of the games the last minute. So it's been in review now for 2 days now , I think it takes 7 days to be approved. The game takes up the fullscreen , not small like the promotional video .
