Stop telling other people what to do. This is a free environment. Nobody’s forcing the game to be brought into your lebensraum. I…I mean, living room.

In that case, all video game development should be shut down right now, as nobody needs ANY video game.

Watching the youtube clip i really liked seeing the old graphics again. Could there be an option to play in a classic mode? I played it (and completed it) on the spectrum back in the day. This looks...

Good luck with this; can’t wait to hear more about it. The only downside was reading: “27 year old classic ” man; that makes me feel old. I loved this game as a teenager.

i like the graphic style and the Look of the New Version. i Hope the New graphics are based on the old ones. the colors , the shadows everything looks so mysterious !

AppleOutsider, do you realize how insulting your comment is to anyone above a certain age? If you’re too young to appreciate a game like this, I’m sure there’s an Angry Birds #219 thread that needs you.

I’m 35 and played games like “Vermeer” etc. pp. on Computers with a 286 CPU and THOSE colors. Nobody needs this. I thought those games were looking horrible back then and they look horrible now.

The only way this game should be published is FOR FREE. I mean look at it. This is obnoxious. The only thing that should look like this in this day and age is a DOS emulator with loadable ROMs or...

This is a grand strategy game. You’re only talking about the GRAPHICS (which, by the way, you’d know are placeholders, if you had read the article). There’s a problem right there. Besides, it looks...

For what? People who jump on a platform and port every horrible looking, 25 year old game to it to make the big bucks for a miniscule amount of work? Again: make a ZX Spectrum emulator and release this...

You keep saying nobody needs this, which is sort of a direct insult to me, who need it. If you didn’t like it back then, or don’t like the graphic or whatever part of the game that’s fine, but don’t...

Current intention is to have newer higher res graphics, that are instantly recognisable as the old. It needs to look new and old at the same time!

You should really look up the difference between “want” and “need”

I’d personally prefer the original Spectrum gfx or derivatives of those (simple, line based) versus the Windows ver gfx ( http://www.icemark.com/winlom99/ ). My personal pref.

If that’s the best you can do, then you shouldn’t bother really, as more often than not a need will produce a wanting, so don’t treat the two as they’re mutually exclusive.

Right. And I am the one who is trolling. I explained why I think it’s better to re-do the game with better graphics OR publish an emulator in other comments. I don’t really think it’s necessary to talk...

Right. It will take hundreds of hours to add tap targets in an emulator game. If they change the graphics into new ones it will be a remake and that’s the one thing I wanted, meaning it will take a lot...
