Post by: ManaByte on June 03, 2009, 06:42:00 AM: Probably the code required for the connectivity with the new game. That's the only possible reason.

Who did the port? If id did, I'd doubt it as Carmack has been against adding any multiplayer to Wolf3D.

Post by: Enl on June 03, 2009, 05:27:32 PM: The game has aged better than I anticipated. It runs silky smooth and still has that early 3d pixel charm. Looking at the demo I'm taking that Spear of Destiny isn't included in this.

I HATE THIS TO DEFF.

It probably starts with some distribution contract with a Japanese publisher pointing to their old licensing contract for distributing the game, pointing out that it's still within the license period, that XLBA is a competitor to that agreement, and they'll happily sign a new contract which extends the licensing period and allows for XBLA distribution for a mere 20% of total sales. Or maybe they just point to the contract and shake their heads, and don't even negotiate because it's not worth the discussion time to appease the less-than-five-guys who have a 360 in Japan who wanted this game.

Post by: Sho Nuff on June 05, 2009, 08:26:13 AM: Actually it looks pretty junky, they didn't use the nice redrawn Atari Jaguar/MacOS sprites, plus there is no multiplayer. Might as well play this on the ol' PSP instead
