I'm going on vacation on Tuesdsy, and I'll be gone for a month. I'll have my laptop though, but no internet. So, I'm just loading up on games and music. I have about 50 hours of videogame music -_-. Anyway, give me recommondations for games to get, preferbly for games in the snes/genesis era or before to keep my entertained. Also, you can give me recommondations for games or scripts to make. I have cygwin and the sdl library, as well as redhat, so I'm going to do stuff in that, and an apache webserver with php and mysql installed. My imagination sucks, so I don't know what to make. My current idea is to remake the LoZ with LttP graphics.

I've always wanted a free clone of Elasto Mania :-) Actually forget about the clone part, I want a very different game but with similar physics. Elasto Mania is a crazy motorbike "simulation" game in 2D, with very low gravity. Click here for more information and screenshots. It's a totally amazing game by the way.

Umihara Kawase, FF3, Rockman series, Rockman X series, etc.

A battle engine for the FFRPG would be nice (graphical or text-based.. and if graphical, with a text-based log - primarily for playtesting and balancing rather than actual play use, so keep the equations for each skill and the like easily-editable). So would a character creation and monster creation utility, though those already exist as Excell spreadsheets.

It's been done. It's called BS Zelda. EDIT: Also, a free Zooma would be great.

Zuma is vaguely similar to Puzzle Bobble but it's played on a track rather than a field. http://popcap-games.org/Zuma-Deluxe.htm

That seems doable. Any idea what extra features the real game has?

You should play it a bit to get a feel for it.. Basically, the colored balls advance long the track at an increasing rate (which is divided by the number of balls, so it may seem to be a constant rate until you start destroying large groups of them), you have a main and secondary ball in your cannon (left click fires the main, right click switches them, when you fire a ball the secondary becomes main and a new secondary is randomly generated based on what colors exist on the track).. you get points for clearing a track uder a certain time, for destroying multiple balls, for making chain reactions, for grabbing coins, for shooting through gaps in the track, and for comboing (destroying balls on every shot for a while). Two balls of the same color separated by empty space attract like magnets. Remember that bals already stuck together stay stuck together and the speed of the balls is inversely proportional to how amny are there, so if you have a group fo 30 and a group of 2 that are attracting, the group of 2 will shoot back rather quickly and the group of 30 will barely move forward. Balls not connected to the group that's advancing from offscreen are at rest. If a ball touches the end of the track, the level is over. There can be multiple tracks with mutliple exits, tracks can overlap, tracks can have inaccessable areas, etc. What would be extra nice about a free version is that you could make custom levels.
