well I'd like more old style games with retro sfx and music.
I know that to a lot they could bee seen as crappy and past their
date but I never played them.
It seems at least in sertain circles that there is still interest in
the music if not the games themselves is rekindling.
I'd like to play games with retro feels and stuff but also modern
ports using modern sounds but the same tunes as in the retro game.
its a pitty we can't play sid nes snes spc and other old music files
directly in games.

Hi jacob.
I remember the worms games well, albeit that I could never play them
myself since while the worms and landscape were plenty visible due
to contrast, the icons, mouse pointer etc were not. In this respect
they were a little like the lemmings games back on the amigar which
had similar issues and were similarly frustrating from a low vision
perspective.
The closest thing I've heard of to worms would be Quentin's beta of
a lemmings audio game, greenies escape, which had real potential,
but I don't think got finished.
Another might be shell shock, though there of course there was no
humour and the landscape and weapons didn't vary.
It would however be something quite doable in audio I think with a
few overview and targit commands, given the 2D playing area and the
complexity we've seen in audio weapons targiting and angle
calculation in other games, especially considdering games like
greenies and palace punchup.
heck, given that each turn was descrete and timed, it could work
really well online against other players too, even those without
fast connections.
If you ever do design such a game, let me know and I'd be glad to
reccord comments in appropriate voices. i particularly liked the way
in worms if you didn't act on your turn you got "stu pid!" in a sing
song voice. Once my brother and a couple of his friends created a
game, and made a worm called the Un, who sat there and did nothing,
and hearing the un constantly called stupid for not acting was
rather amusing in a politically satyrical way.
Beware the Grue!
