I remember being totally engulfed...
...mezmorized
...tired
...annoyed
...frustrated
...angry
...furious
Then i'd close the program
Then i'd want to open it again and play the level cause i thot just maybe i'd be able to beat it.
Anyone remember that good ol' game?
I haven't seen many games like it since (RoX comes close). |

On the other hand, I prefer and enjoy more programming in 3D. |

"Wasn't Chips Challenge on the Atari Lynx as well?"
I do believe your right, I remember something similar to it anyways, that was probably the coolest handheld around... but it's cost, killed it in the market, that and the titles, where not that popular.
As for the 3D remakes, I think that is a great idea, because all the 3d is doing is enhancing the look, for the game play is still 2D. I was tossing the idea around for doing a 3D zelda remake, but my artistic skills killed that idea...lol...couldn't get link modeled for nothing... but the 3D idea of remakes are a better idea, but I will stick to 2D, I enjoy programming it more, and that is truly what I program for, ... fun..

"I am working on a very simple 3D version of galaga/galaxian.."
There are some REALLY cool remakes of Galaga/Galaxian in 3d. I think one of them is called "Bugatron" or something like that. I can't recall all the names, but I've played some excellent versions of this in 3D. Cool stuff.

And it isn't. I was talking seriously, I like to do remakes of good old games but in 3D (don't completed at least one tough; but it isn't that hard) |

Hey, don't laugh... I am working on a very simple 3D version of galaga/galaxian... That shoudn't be too difficult... I hope... |

And I want to make them all with nice 3D graphics! So you make some 2D and I some 3D and...
Maybe I'm just dreaming?  |

I thought about making a suite of all the classic windows games... with updated graphics, and sound.... thought it would be sort of a novelty project..

You read my mind, I was actually thinking of doing just that, kind of a Chips for the newer generation....
But I would still keep it general gdi... or directx7 maybe... any thoughts on that?

So couldn't anyone create a remake of this game with nice graphics? |

Good. I'm glad at least a few of you remember it. Definately a good game. Definately a good example of game quality without graphical or audio beautification.
Thanks for the link. I, myself, haven't been searching for it...but it'd be nice to play it.
P.S. Addictive? Yes. I especially remember some of my friends (years ago) telling me all about how they were on level 100 and their dad was helping them. (I don't know about you, but when a dad gets into a game, that immediately proclaims it as a REALLY good game...because they don't do that often: remember JetPack?...that was another.) |

I'm a little paranoid about what and where I download, but this is something I might stick my judgement aside for... Thanks...

Did you Google it? Here's what I found:

Not sure whether that's the same game or not, I've never played it before. |
