Another title that surprises me the lack of remakes is xyzolog.

Hasn’t anyone loved this game back in the MSX ages?

Has anyone been aware of such remake?

greetings,
Danilo.

Yup, no problems. You should be fine.

I joined the forum a few weeks ago & I haven’t received the email to activate my account. Any chance it can be done manually? Thanks.

I sorta started a Harrier Attack a couple years ago but it’s one of the few projects of mine that I’ve never even pixelled a single sprite for yet, and just exists as a basic Game Maker engine. Was to be one of three games I wanted to remake that had all been part of the free 12 pack of games most Amstrad CPC owners got (the other two I wanted to were Oh Mummy and Roland on the Ropes). I hadn’t done any on it since mainly because I didn’t think there was any real demand for a HA remake at the time.

Good luck with your remake, Dragon. Yeah I wanted to do some more objective based missions too, not so sure about nuking aliens though :P

There’s still time to give it a bash :). Maybe do a vector take on it, I thought that might be quite interesting but I - obviously - took the sprite approach.

I think a vector harrier doing its left/right flip could look quite spiffy.

Everytime I look for a project to start I look at Harrier Attack and so far it hasn’t even got as far as an empty directory among all the other unfinished projects. No idea why.

I’d completely forgotten about Harrier Attack II - must have played it years ago. I also - unfortunately - remember thinking that it wasn’t quite what I was looking for in a Harrier Attack game.

I do definitely need ideas for gameplay though. Whilst I spent *ages* playing the original, it’s a bit simplistic for this day and age. At the very least I’m making this one objective oriented. eg: destroy the radars so that a carrier can fly in and rescue POWs etc…

One the more … um … interesting ideas was carry a nuke to an alien base at the end of the map and blow it up. Foiling their plans to take over the world :)

Wow, I didn’t even know Nicky Boom had a sequel? There must be some reason for this glaring gap in my knowledge…
