[ Show youtube player ] Amazing fun game as a child and Two player, now I'm into my Amiga and I don't see a port of it at all which is a shame.

The two methods exist. A rewrite from scratch provides more control but using original code gives 1:1 port (usually).
However in either case porting a game is several weeks or months full-time work with little reward.

Just to add to that it is rare that an Amiga game uses libraries. They generally kill the OS and bang the hardware.

@Stingray: No matter if it works in perfect speed on 68000 at the moment, how`s about a new video of the current progress? Please complete this game. I would like to play it.

OMG this is the game which name I couldn't remember. We had it in local arcades when I started to go to school. They had to give us little stool so we could reach the wheel

I had difficulties with 3rd level. Then one day I saw one ''older''(like 4th grader

kid that just nudge the wheel to jump over obstacles and reaches the 4 level! I was amazed and told everyone in the class of his achievement! And I could hardly wait to go home and ask parents for the money for coins. Of course I didn't mange to reach the 4th level at first but I was really close and reached it eventually!

Obviously I'd like to play it on Amiga. And that video preview looks great indeed.
