Title: Ported/cloned games
Post by: arj0n on Wed 04/08/2010 10:37:07
Are there any AGS games released or in production which are actually
ported games [from other platforms to PC using the AGS engine]?

The closest thing I can think of that matches this description is this (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=356) - although it ran on DOS as well...

Other than that, I can't think of anything.

I think that one is just a "1:1 remake".

You mean making a game for the Xbox360 and then porting it to Windows or PC in general via AGS?
I can't think of anything similar.

@Dual:
Indeed, or from iphone for example.
From any other platform to PC via AGS.
But in stead of porting, i'm also curious if there are any games that are clones from console/iphone games.

This one was not a 1:1 remake, as it's was not originally a point & click game.

There were actually many AGS remakes of other games, but I couldn't think of one that was not originally available for the PC platform ATM.

Invincible Island (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=561) was a ZX Spectrum port.

Edit: And apparently Andy Mason's two other games, Bullet Train (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=781) and Amoto's Puf (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=925) were also ports (Atari ST and ZX Spectrum, respectively).
