Game Idea: Firefox 2600

[MMyers]

How about a homebrew version of the old Firefox arcade game?

I have always thought Atari should have at least tried to make an Atari version of this. Obviously, the graphics would be toned down a heck of a lot and more interaction - like being able to actually fly the thing would be great.

 

Ok, I can here the cackling but you have to admit a flight simulator with ties to the '82 movie/game would be great. I certainly would buy it.

maybe the knight rider guy can make this after his KR 2600 project? :-)

 

oh come on, think big. use adavies chronocolor to run the laser disc fmv in the background of your game. and use a 512mb rom cart at least. itll hold all the game fmv compressed to 2600 resolutions, easy.

 

and see if u can find the music in a c64 .sid and then get it converted to 2600 music :-)

so you think air raiders or spitfire would make a good candidate for a hack into fire fox, or that they already fulfill his requirements for a rudimentary fire-fox like game?

Why not? It's a pretty decent dogfighter I suppose it could be hacked so that hitting targets keeps you in the air longer.
