The Curse of Enchantia (amiga)

You just reminded me of one game that I really loved as a kid, and for years I've completely forgotten about it! I should play it again sometimes. Or at least watch youtube playthrough...

I still haven't abandoned my intentions to make a game based on How to be a Complete Bastard. In fact, it's going to be top of my agenda when I finish uni (well, 2nd from top... top will be finding a job).

That was a great game! Would you implement anything like the "reset" option on the computer you could find?

Haha even if I had the ability to code that, I don't think I could be that much of a comeplete bastard!

Anyone know who has the licenses to Jack T. Ladd and Ysanne Andropath? I enjoyed the second game in that series quite a bit. I know the Psygnosis Limited properties have wound up in different places.

EDIT: ...By which I mean I was confused and it looks like everything Psygnosis is now owned by Sony.

Holy shit Cyrus, I was JUST coming on here to say Discworld. That was one of my all-time favorite series! Maybe we can get one going and get Eric Idle to voice it again. It's funny because my brother and I are the only two people I know who ever played it (and loved it) but I'm in Arizona. I'm assuming it was much more popular in the UK by most of you guys.

I'm bad at drawing and animating, but I could help with the script

LOL I'm bad at all of those....but I could do the voices!! Who wants to Animate/draw Rincewind & discworld???

I find it really, really odd with adventure games coming back that there hasn't been any talk over the license for Discworld games. Not even any attempt to remake Discworld II for iPad or anything like that. It's crazy!

If you're serious about the idea I can draw cartoon characters and know the books well but I'm not great at animation. I can do a little bit but it tends to look choppy.

Cyrus · Fri 25/05/2012 06:29:17

How about setting up the forums?

Well like I said I would lend my voice to the game in a heart beat. I would certainly help out in any other way as far as story, dialogue and anything else not TOO specialized. Consider me part of the "team" if this becomes a reality.

Cyrus · Fri 25/05/2012 16:13:52

I hope it does! I'd suggest using an art style similar to Discworld II, it can be either an original story or an adaptation of one of Pratchett's novels.

Cyrus, where would the appropriate place be in the forums be to start a "pre-recruitment" thread to see who is interested in taking part in this? At least we could gauge how serious people would be and whether or not its worth the time and effort.

Cyrus · Fri 25/05/2012 17:46:26

Maybe start a separate thread in Adventure-related talk & chat?

Cyrus · Mon 19/11/2012 15:51:39

I'm also thinking about Tony Tough 3. It's a cool and undeservedly forgotten game that was recently ported on DotEmu: http://www.dotemu.com/en/download-game/4601/tony-tough-and-the-night-of-roasted-moths

There was a 3D sequel called Rake's Progress, but I desperately want a third installment.

CaptainD · Mon 19/11/2012 16:11:17

If you're going to do anything Discworld-related, count me in!!

TheBitPriest · Mon 19/11/2012 16:53:38

I wouldn't have thought of it as a candidate for a remake unless it was mentioned: Grim Fandango. I like the idea of 2D remakes of the early 3D/2D mixed games.
