Genetic Species for Gameboy Advance petition
Milan Pollé (author of the site, but not the petition pages) write:
Seeing the FPS games announced for the Gameboy Advance started me thinking
about the awesome Amiga game Genetic Species, by
Marble Eyes.
This game is an FPS with really great atmosphere and elements borrowed
from the classic 'Paradroid', like being able to take over the bodies
and skills of your enemies.
As this game worked well on low-end Amigas, about three years ago, I
thought it might be possible to port it to the Gameboy Advance. The
developers of this game worked for three years on it and only sold
hundreds or at the most a couple of thousands of copies, as the Amiga
market had shrunk when the game was completed, but also because of
piracy. Needless to say the developers were really disappointed.
I coined this idea in the Gameboy Advance forum on www.ign.com
and people were really interested in this game, so they started
contacting the developers, who were suprised by the sudden attention
this game got. At the moment the developers are looking into the
possibilities of doing a port.
We ask anyone interested in a Gameboy Advance version to sign our
petition. Even if in the end a port won't or can't be done, it will
show the developers that their work is appreciated by a lot of
people. (ps) (Translation: sk)
