...but man, this is gonna hurt if I even come close to pulling it off.
There's a game which was only officially released on the Sega SG-1000 that
I really like, and it's fairly simple. I have an unofficial disk-based
port of this to the MSX (similar hardware, different sound chip which is
the same as the Mockingboard's; I mentioned it in the Arcade Board
thread).
I've thought of trying to port it, but it might be way out of my league as
my graphics ability, frankly, sucks and I don't have tools for working
with Z80. Still... It would be nice to see Girl's Garden on other
hardware.
Another idea I've thought of was porting Galaga or Bosconian. Both of
these have MSX ports as well; Galaga also has an NES port and a 7800 port
(the latter of which might even have source) which would lessen the CPU
issue.
