[Kestrel452]

How bout that old 3D tank game from Ambrosia, Avara. It doesn't run in OS X

+1 for Spectre Challenger and Spectre VR

BTW, what was the difference b/w the 2?

 

[b.c.]

Strategic Conquest
Crystal Quest (!)

fyi Crystal Quest is already available on iPhone (no iPad native version, AFAIK). but kinda sluggish compared to the original

 

[Piggie]

How about getting Jeff Minter to produce Tempest 2000 for the iPad.

I think it should be able to produce a pretty much 100% accurate version.

Enjoy the music also:

Thanks! Just downloaded the free version, and it's not too bad, even at 2X on the iPad.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2

Probably the best game i've ever played!

 

[tekchic]

Oh my gosh - i'd LOVE the Flying Toasters as a clock/screensaver for retro value. I'd pay good $ for it!

 

[nwcs]

Remember Pyro the screen saver?

 

[Kestrel452]

[MythicFrost]

The Geneforge series.

 

[citizenzen]

Obsidian... the cooler Myst.

 

[Lotso]

elder scrolls / oblivion / morrowind etc. I would love to see this type of game on the iPad. I think it's definitely possible. I know some of those aren't on the Mac, but still.

With the release of Epic Citadel, it really got me thinking about those classic games. I would really love to see them expand on the Epic Citadel and unreal engine and turn it into a massive awesome game.

I know! Epic Citedel really got me excited for what's possible on the iPad! I can't wait for an RPG with those graphics to come out on the iPad.

 

[BradenG]

Myth: The Fallen Lords

Don't know how well it would function on iPad, but one of the best RTS games ever...one of the best Mac games period.

Probably why Steve was so steamed when Bungie went to Microsoft, Bungie had a lot of success with Myth and Myth 2 on Mac.

 

[robyrt]

Oh...I thought you meant OLD games...

The entire Marathon series, in its complete sprite-filled glory!

Myth was a ton of fun as well.

 

[skinnerband]

+1 for Pathways Into Darkness!

 

[Euroamerican]

Spaceward Ho would be a great one because you could direct your ships with your finger, if you know what I mean!

 

[Richdmoore]

Do you mean Spectre VR? That would be sweet!

Yes, that would be great, esp with internet play.
