I think this would be really cool, given the audio and video compression technology now a days, coupled with the touch screen, this would be a really nice idea. The only feature that wont be utilized is the multiplayer since these are single player games.



What do you guys think ?

PS>> the empty space on the bottom-screen can be used as a trackpad to control a pointer on the upper screen (like the trackpad on your laptop) or to select text to speak when playing the game.

I don't think that they were ever ported to the Mac but remember those classic Star Trek games? I believe there were only two of them (another was never finished) and they had a similar interface and look as the LucasArts games. Anyway it would be cool to port those as well. Nintendo seems to be keen on recycling so there is always a chance. With that said I probably wouldn't bother. No time to play.

Yeah. this is just an example. imagine..... the whole Money Island series, Day of the tentacle, full throttle, the dig, etc,etc.... all games from that genre could be brilliantly executed on the NDS. And only on the NDS cause of it's feature set. I would love to play these games, given the trackpad functionality, battery life, etc on a plane/train, etc.

I'm thinking of emailing Nintendo and Lucasarts and suggesting this idea.
