The Final UnimPORTant

This is the final part of the UnimPORTant series, where we put up hypothetical games that could be ported to systems from another. This time its Commodores well regarded 16 / 32 bit home computer system the Amiga.

Clu Clu land. NES.

This is a weird one, as the name is romanized wrongly. It should be Kuru Kuru land where Kuru Kuru means something that spins, and that is indeed what this game is based on.  You are a small blubbery looking fish that has to avoid the sea urchins and uncover the gold by spinning around poles in a maze.

I would have put this in my home micro round up but I think the Amiga is basically a better fit. Can imagine this being done in something like AMOS or that for the 500. It's not a bad game.

Kickle Cubicle / Meikyuujima.

A favourite NES game from R*Type producers Irem.  More of a block shoving type of game, you have to get all the bags in the allotted time.  Quite a nice little game supposedly produced for the PC Engine but remains unreleased.

Can easily see this for either Amiga 500 or 1200 series of computers.

Oids.

This is some Atari only thrust clone which for some reason was only released for the inferior ST line of computers. A nice port for the Amiga would be nice seeing as we can't have them having all the fun.

Ducktales.

Part of Capcoms Disney line up of platformers.  Would love to see this ported to the Amiga even if it incurs the wrath of the house of mouse.  With gameplay that involves Scrooge McDuck being his greedy bastard self, and rather nice music, including the Moon stage which is what its known for. This along with a few other games such as Megaman are why Capcom could do no wrong back in the day.

So that is it, we'll get back to normal posting now. There isn't much left to say except that I'd love a port of protracker to the old physical keyboard Blackbastard phones. Also as this whole SARS 2 electric boogaloo is going down now, a brief note that there is ten years worth of bollocks masquerading as articles so if you're at a loose end why not have a trawl through.
