Re: [ukvac] Rainbow islands... Taito Classic
Guys,
As a number of people on here have stated they know the programmers of 'Taito Classic Collection', does anyone actually know what games are going to be on this compilation?
As for Rainbow Islands - surely it would be easier to just take the PSone port (along with Bubble Bobble which was on the same disc) and shove that onto the disk without re-coding as they were both excellent ports (Probe/Graftgold jobs) and would negate the need to source a PCB as the PSone code could be run on PS2 anyway?
Obviously some re-coding would be needed for Xbox (doubt a GC version is due!), but the bulk of the work is already done - I remember reading in interviews the Graftgold lads had the game logic, bonuses etc. spot on for the PSone game, helped by the work they did on the home computer versions back in the late 80's.
Just a though...
Paul
