 |
|
Hi
There are several systems that had some good games for them that could do with a gamebase if they dont already have one and they are:-
Tandy TRS-80 - Had over 200+ Games
Tandy Color - Colour version of above
NEC PC-8001 - Had Over 2000+ Games
NEC PC-98 - Had Over 2000+ Games
Texas TI99/4a - Had over 200+ Games
Sharp X1 - Had over 500+ Games
Enterprise - British Computer, Had over 150+ Games
Fujitsu FM-7 - Had over 1000+ Games
Thompson T07 - Had over 150+ Games
It would be great to eventually see some of the past systems t be kept alive again with a gamebase.
J.S. |

That's incorrect.....
There are about 1000 Games for the Enterprise 64/128 
(well, many of them are "inofficial"conversions by users, from Sinclair- and Amstrad-Games)
As you can see on my Signature, i'm working on an "Enterprise-Imagepack" for the Frontend eCC.
If anyone is interrested to make a Enterprise-Gamebase,
feel free, to use my eCC-Imagepack for GB 
(up to now, it contains only Screenshots & Covers for Letter 0,A - Bi)
Just PM me, and i'll send you my Pictures & Game-Dumps.

| I like the Tandy Color Computer idea. I grew up with the COCO 2, and loved it for years - in fact, I actually still own a COCO 3. |

| Note that the Tandy Color is not a Color Version of the TRS-80. |

I have just started work on a Sam Coupe gamebase, and hope to have some thing to release in a couple of weeks

RCA Studio II
Apple 1 - Addition to AppleMania ? 
Neo Geo
Camputers Lynx
Pong Systems ?
Can't think of anymore that aren't CD based, although I'm sure there are. |

Pong systems are discrete logic (There are no roms to dump) so there are no emulators; the best you can do are simulators but there are many...
And I have a NeoGeo AES Gamebase half done but I have no working script...

Another Computer I have Never Heard Of Until The Recent Issue Of Retro Gamer Was :-
Tatung Einstein.
Apparently it had quite a few games with it and also came with an addon called speculator which could load and run any spectrum game.
And it Had a Follow Up Version Called Einstein 256 |

It's one of the computers that's very similar to the MSX (but not enough to be compatible). I've never seen anything relating to games for Einstein 256. That machine was probably very rare. The first model has a port of Elite, but unfortunately, it's not possible to emulate that specific game yet to my knowledge.
Anyway, I might as well list potentially interesting systems. These should all be possible to emulate to some extent and have a game library of at least 10 games or so ( I don't like apps in gamebases).
- Spectravideo. Before they produced MSX-compatible machines, they had their own, also very similar to the MSX standard. Some games native to the computers exist, also a lot (compared to the native library) conversions from MSX (e.g. Konami games).
Commodore PET. A real oldie. The TOSEC contains some compilations. Missing a lot of known released software. Might be hidden in some cornerns of the Internet I don't know.
Amstrad PCW. Quite a number of games for a system dedicated for wordprocessing. Lots of potentially interesting ports not dumped and commonly found unfortunately. Some compatibility with games from CPC sets, as they were dual-releases (Infocom and later Level 9 games).
French computers:
http://dcmoto.free.fr/ has a lot of information.
Aside from the Thomson To/Mo series there are models of
Matra Alice
Hector
Exeltel/EXl 100
Sharp MZ machines:
Lots of models, some compatibility between them. The MZ 800 has a ton of spectrum conversions.
Eastern Europe computers:
Probably even more obscure than the Japanese machines.
Here's an overview:
http://www.homecomputer.de/pages/easteurope_ussr.html
The former eastern Germany Robotron machines should be in TOSEC though.
Others I found most interesting:
BK10/11M - lots of of entries with screenshots here:
http://www.uvlist.net/search
Vector - http://www.sensi.org/~svo/scalar/categories/
There are obviously even more machines, but it's a bit pointless for me to post without knowing emulation status or any source of games. |
