I want to make a collection of the best games of the 70's, similar to those atari and activision collections, as an programming and gamedev exercise.

So far I've planned to make:

Pong, breakout, air sea battle, basketball, bowling, centipede, circus atari, combat, desert falcon, dodge em, Lunar lander, Millipede, star raiders, Yars revenge, asteroids, missile command, race, secret quest, computer space, Tank, Anti-aircraft, death race, space invaders.

So far every game should take me like one or two days to make.

Do you think 5 bucks is a good price for the compilation?

If it doesn't include Oregon Trail you might as well not bother.

I plan on using something like HD art that still imitates the original and maybe adding some chiptune and maybe some local multiplayer.

So, I guess is not a full remake but more like inspiration?

>local multiplayer

if you can jury-rig some online multiplayer component i bet it would really, really take off

I've not done any multiplayer coding, but I guess I could add some multiplayer.

look into it. speaking honestly i don't know why anyone would buy even HD remakes of extremely simple games from the Atari era unless they were a) trying to support you, as a person or b) you had an awesome marketing campaign, neither of which i'm assuming are options. throw in something that hasn't been done with them (to my knowledge) though and suddenly you're adding things to the formula. i bet a couple old guys would pick it up so they could play joust together just like when they were in school or something

honestly, I want to make something like geometric wars, and I think a couple shaders, some bloom, maybe some chiptune music and maybe online could make those games worth something.

I want to remake ancient games as a way so newer kids play them.
