Well, I suppose that explains the recent submarine collision.

Shhhh - keep that to yourself, we don't want them coming round to pick Mark up.

Oh, wait, no, we do - it's a quick route to promotion!

Give me a PSP dev-kit and I'll have a crack at it.

Fair enough, how much to run these days?

Pfft, just do it with homebrew! I think there's an SDL build for PSP...

If you can do Defcon on DS, what about Xbox360? ^^

Without a pointing device... would defcon actually be playable?

Possibly even better Have two pointers, controlled by the two analog sticks. Have the shoulder buttons zoom in on the two pointers. One pointer controls the unit receiving orders, the other pointer controls the order target position. Not moving a pointer leaves the unit highlighted by it fixed even while stuff moves around. That leaves plenty of buttons for commands and doesn't force you to do the hectic 'click on bomber (zooming in to actually be able to hit the right one), click on city, repeat 20x' dance.

if bert was designing halo wars or console ports of other strat games.

anyways will how many players will dscon support? I'd be suprised of ds could handle 4 players at once, and dses certainly can't handle 6 cos the wireless protocol.

Uh, what? You think the *wireless* is the limiting factor? I've played 6 player games over flaky wireless before. I'd be more worried about all that blitting.

in local multiplayer, no ds has ever supported more than 4 players at once. i think it's the ds's local multiplayer protocol, or the power of the system, but am wondering if the ds has the power to manage 4 defconers at once, or whether it could even manage more. In online multiplayer, more than 4 should be possible (think MOH heroes 2 on wii, the wii does not have the power to mnage 32 online connections, it's all just one connection from the server), but still wondering.

blitting?? let's see what google has to say (so i dont get someone sending me to lmgtfy.com)

You, sir, have clearly never played Mario Kart.

Local supports at least 8, if not more.

Only got a PSP and PC. Not spending 200 dollars for a DS or whatever the price is. But still it being on DS will Usually lead to PSP

It does? Let me compare my DS game collection to the PSP one. Hmm there are a few games available on both, but they are vastly different. In short I'd say you're wrong.
