|  Re: Successful conversions
Ooh, glorifying games, my favourite kind of topic.
About KikStart... I haven't played with the C=64 version that much, but didn't it have an option for the bike to "tilt"? Maybe I remember wrong. It's an awesome game on the C=16 though, and I'm saying that as a programmer, I've looked into the code. Well done. That goes for all SOUT games though.
Anywho, Elite (at least some versions of it) is a perfect copy of the C=64 game, and the game itself is a legendary wonder, so yeah, that conversion is great. Barbarian on the other hand... At the end you get to fight the wizard, and save your lady, but neither one of the Plus/4 versions have that in it. (IIRC, they actually just crash.) So while it looks nice and it's definitely in the top fighter games, it's not a very good conversion.
