The other thread about analog controllers got me thinking: What pce games do think would benefit from optional mouse support?
I think Operation Wolf would be one of them.
Playing Forgotten Worlds would be interesting: mouse for movement and gamepad (direction part?) for the pod movement. I mean, imagine the main character being controlled like a mouse pointer (and all the acceleration that goes along with it). It'd probably make the game too easy.
-
Mine Sweeper, Loom, Beyond Shadowgate, and Sim Earth all should have mouse support.
-
While it's completely playable without it, the Nectaris (Military Madness) games would pay well with mouse support. Probably also the other turn-based strategy games, though I haven't really played them.

Misread the title :lol:

The Manhole.... but nobody would actually play it.
Seriously, are you talking about retrofitting it into a non-mouse-supporting game ?
I know I reverse-engineered the protocol, and stuck some code into HuC's libraries way back when... but I hadn't heard of anybody using it. Retrofitting an existing game could be interesting.
Maybe all the Shogi games ? Stratego ? Shanghai ?

Was it in HuC? I ripped it from one of the games that supported it, and used it for a couple of non public apps. But yeah, hacking support into non-mouse games.
-
Populous maybe? I heard it plays almost better with a pad though.
Edit: BTW Bonknuts you don't mind sharing the mouse code you ripped out?

I would. :mrgreen:

I was always interested in the Manhole since I saw in an old mag years ago (VG&CE maybe?) but for the Amiga or some other computer. My favorite Disney movie growing up was Alice in Wonderland so the theme suits me, and I love point and click adventure games. I might get the package they have on Steam one day with some of their other games, but I would probably pick up the PCE version one day if I ran into it. I don't why but lately I've been thinking about these kind of games lately, maybe because one Christmas I got a game for my C64 called Tass Times in Tonetown. That was probably my first adventure game (graphical) along with Hitchhiker's Guide for the C64 which I didn't get very far in until years later.

I'd love to play it again with a mouse, that would be a lot easier and less boring to navigate and see everything.

Sorry, didn't see this. I'll upload it to my site (download and links section)
Edit: Uploaded.
