Hi Ron, Thanks. However, don't get your hopes up. Right now I am thinking out loud as it were and seeing where the communities feelings are on the matter. By and large the general consensus seems to be forget about the BSC Games, do your own thing, and don't worry about trying to rewrite these games. At least that is the message I am getting.
Michael Feir's heartfelt message the other day is a case in point. He is right. I have a lot of work to do on my own projects without taking on any more work right now, and something like Mysteries of the Ancients is probably going to be a far better game than say Hunter for a number of reasons such as it takes advantage of a full 2d environment, has multiple weapons with ranged attacks, uses analog jumps, is written in pure C++, and is being developed for a modern operating system to begin with. His point was that taking on the BSC games would only become a distraction and I can probably do better by doing my own thing. For all those reasons I probably won't be rewriting the BSC Games myself. As someone said with a lot of new up and coming developers using BGT someone is bound to write another Space Invader clone like Troopanum or an arcade game like Hunter eventually. Those games are fairly simplistic from a programming point of view and therefore I could leave it to new developers to try their hand at it if they wish. :D Cheers!
