Contest Description(READ):
Comparison : Old School or New School
Disclaimer: No, I really did not mean to use Mountain Dew's contest name but it fits really well.
Are you old school, or new school? Do you like remakes? Do you ever think you could have made a remake better? Or, are you the type of person who says to leaves things as they are?
Now, YOU get to decide!
If you decide to enter this contest, you must choose whether you are old school or new school( you are allowed to enter both categories...this will be explained further). After you have chosen, you must then go and select a game that was made anywhere from 1985 to 1999. You may choose a 3D game but know this:
IF YOU CHOOSE A 3D GAME, YOUR CREATION MUST BE 3D!
This is not a 3D-to-2D contest.
Here are some more guidelines:
Old School | - you MUST use the original graphics,gameplay,music, etc. from the title you choose to recreate
- your focus is recreate the game almost as close to what an emulator does
New School | - you Must stick with to the theme and style of the game you have chosen
- your focus is to take an old game and give it a face lift. Update the graphics/sprites.
Give it some pretty eye-candy effects. Better music, etc.
- A plus is to also build upon the orginal game's gameplay. EXAMPLE: Add stomping to the
original Super Mario Bros. if that had been your choice.
*A fully functional level shows everything the original game had. If it is an adventure game(IE Zelda), you must either have a fairly good sized overworld or re-create a dungeon.*
You may enter both categories but you MUST choose different games for each category.
You may work as a team. Submissions will be taken in by me via PM. This is for contestants
to decide whether or not they want their source code released to the public.
Source code is REQUIRED.
Suggestions for beginners:
Pong
Moon Patrol
Pacman
Asteroids
Suggestions for more advanced programmers:
Super Mario Brothers
Legend of Zelda
Megaman or Megaman X
Sonic
U.N. Squadron (Area 88 in PAL countries I believe.)
Bionic Commando
Cabal
Bad Dudes ( <3 )
Final Fight
Remember, the more effort you put into this, the better your score will probably be.
MOST IMPORTANT: Have fun while you code!
