RPG for rockbox?
« on: October 14, 2010, 01:04:48 PM »
I had a sansa e200 a few years ago and had an rpg that I played on it all the time.  I'm pretty sure it wasn't a gameboy rom.  It had a little stick figure that represented your party that you moved around....
I lost the player and don't remember what it was called.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Maybe a game for the ZX Spectrum?  I don't know what game you're referring to.

There are quite a few gameboy roms that fit this description (Final Fantasy does for a start) so perhaps if you could supply more details then we could be more help.

It's certainly not a native game for Rockbox, anyway.

I didn't think it was a rom because the game was too old and the graphics weren't right.  I found a gameplay screenshot of an old CGA Ultima and and it looked right.  The Ultima games from the early 80's are similar to what I remember.  I looked at the GB Ultima games and they aren't what I remember.

Has there ever been an Ultima game for rockbox or a way to emulate one?

Well here's a link to the pics that really caught my attention
http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/590/491175-ultima1c64_super.gif
http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/nes/ultima3/images/versions_c64_screen1.gif

The images from Ultima 1-4 on this website all look similar to what I remember

I also google'd up a mention of an Ultima III clone for a gameboy emulator on this websites IRC logs, so maybe it was for rockboy.  However, the only Ultima game boy ROM's that I can find are the ones that were made for the game boy, which is an entirely different kind of game.

19:00:32    Soap    Ultima III is the one which catches my eye. Maybe they don't mean "port" but "clone"?
19:01:25    Juice^    probably clone

Try the Spectrum game "Chaos" - it looks a lot like the screenshots that you linked to.

Ok, I found it.  It is a port of Ultima 3 for Game Boy Color.  I guess it was a rom.  Here's a wiki entry about it if anyone is interested.
