I just found an interesting article on Edge-online about the making of Dune 2.
Here is the link
Oh yeah, that article was in the actual Edge magazine a few issues ago. They have some great articles each month about the making of some of the best classic games from the past.
Yeah, they've already released some good ones...
Some time ago, I had scanned the making of the Monkey Island for a friend, if your interested i can upload or send it ;)
I wonder if they'll ever do an article on Rise Of The Robots;).
isnt there a Command and Conquer port for the Amiga?
( i have been giving C&C a spanking on my PSP via PSX to PSP conversion)
Yes there is a C&C and a Red Alert port on the Amiga. Details are on classicamiga. However the site is offline today because I'm doing major work on it. You should be able to see the C&C page tomorrow when it's all back up and running. :)
@Buleste - Yes they did one on RTTR a while back. I will see if I can dig the issue out and can scan it in if you like.
There's a Red Alert port that no one can get to work but I don't think anyone evr did C&C.
Are you sure you're not thinking of Retro Gamer? They did a making of feature on it a while ago as well anyway.Quote:

Have to give it a look at home, it's websensed here :dry:
Nice read.
It's funny to see how terrific games used to be made by teams of barely 5 people, where high-profile titles nowadays take teams of 100+ people, millions of dollars and several years to complete.
Thing is, current-gen games aren't necessarily more fun than the games of old.
I couldn't agree more.Quote:

I also agree, but I enjoy both, be it Jumpman Jr. or Fallout 3, every game has it's fun (or not). But I have to say that there are also a lot of crappy old games, even more than the world needs.
Yeah, there are crappy old ones, like trucks of it and great new ones (fallout3, dead space, bioshock,...).
But when i see the resources used to make, let's say quake 4, age of conan or even warhammer online, if think they should have spent less time to create a state of the art graphical marvel and spend more time on the gameplay and the scenario...
That reminds me reading the latest review on Rise of the Argonauts, got very bad reviews, but was a big production. They spend a lot of time and money in it, but afterwards release it too fast, so that it's full of bugs and fiddly controls and gameplay.
Look here.
