For anybody thats interested there are a load of pc remakes for old 8-bit games at the link below, including Jet Set Willy, Harrier Attack, Psst, Head Over Heels, Klass of 99 (remake of Skool daze, a spectrum game), Wizball and more.
http://retrospec.sgn.net/index.php?link=finished tomimt: Among my favorite games:
Manic Miner
Jet Set Willy
10th Frame
Ollie and Lisa
Park Patrol
Arkanoid
Rambo II
GI Hero
The Pink Panther (by gremlin / magic bytes)
Batman (by Ocean)
007: License to Kill
And among games I didn't understand a bit, as I was too young:
Lords Of Midnight (had a great looking box tho)
Good times.
Truck: I never had a CPC, but last year I saw an AMAZING demo by a French group (Vanity) which made me want one. Different color pallette than the C64 - which makes for some different pictures among the guys still doing pixelling for it.
You'll be happy though - my friend Tomcat in Slovenia (who is one of the 'retro remakes' guys) is almost finished with his remake of Batman. As I recall, he has input from the original author (Jon Ritman.) He previously did the remake of Head Over Heels, which is a _really_ good conversion.
I'm looking forward to the Batman game, Head Over Heels was a fantastic conversion.
I've posted a link above to the site which is hosting these games.
