Super Sprint - Atari ST Conversion

Galahad/FLT · 09 May 2003, 20:21

Is underway.

I will simply port the Atari ST version directly, I'm not interested in making it Amiga enhanced, as there are better clones of this game already on Amiga (Nitro as a for instance).

All graphics are ripped, and work has begun on conversion of the music. Sound effects will be replaced.

I`m impressed

Twistin'Ghost · 10 May 2003, 03:17

I am impressed, too!

the wolf · 10 May 2003, 14:47

Yes, this is a very good idea.
Years ago I had the same idea, too, but unfortunately I don't know how to begin, figure it...

Can you post something to test before the finished version?

Galahad/FLT · 10 May 2003, 15:47

I fully intend to upload Work In Progress versions, if for nothing else, to ensure that it works on all Amiga's and WinUAE.

To be honest, Super Sprint technically is a very simple game so I don't forsee any problems with compatibility anyway.

It won't use the blitter at all, as the sprite sizes are so weedy that a 68000 will move the whole game around with ease.

So far, the cross fading titles are done and I have also included the race selection and the high score table, next is the bare bones of the racing itself.

Good

One of the few st classics ( as someone told me in a quite recent thread ) will be no more st-only!

tomcat666 · 11 May 2003, 05:40

Wow, this is a great thing Galahad ! The only three other Atari games that should be available for amiga are StarQuake, Where Time Stood Still and Oids ;-)

btw. any progress on "The Way of the Hubba" fixing ? With provided sources, etc. it should of been piss easy for ya...

frsoldier · 12 May 2003, 10:00

so for example
Nitro (1990)(Psygnosis)
is it the 'Super Sprint' clone ?

CodyJarrett · 12 May 2003, 10:13

Nitro isn't a Super Sprint clone...

Super Off Road Racer is a better example of one:

HOL Database (id=2681)

frsoldier · 12 May 2003, 10:17

I thought was this:

CodyJarrett · 12 May 2003, 10:24

Yeah, this is Nitro, but it doesn't have much in common with Super Sprint, apart from being a racing game.

frsoldier · 12 May 2003, 10:26

oh, ok.
thank you.

CodyJarrett · 12 May 2003, 10:30

This is Super Sprint:

JudasEZT · 12 May 2003, 12:33

Supercars2 its the pinnacle of this kind of games, imo.

Supersprint clones I would say Badlands and IndyHeat. but they arent very good.

Of coz, SuperOffRoad is one of the betters too. And another cool Graftgold conversion.

BippyM · 12 May 2003, 19:49

Nitro is a joint fave with supercars2 for me

thinlega · 12 May 2003, 20:13

Nitro is one of the best multi player races....and one of my favorites...BUT I think indy heat is not far off it.....

"Danny Buys the Best stuff"

hummm thinking about this...I seem to remember two versions one where "Danny Buys the Best stuff" and another with a computer chip thing.....

Twistin'Ghost · 13 May 2003, 06:34

Trivia:

Super Sprint, StarQuake, and Where Time Stood Still all had release dates for the Amiga versions.

Fred the Fop · 13 May 2003, 23:23

BAH!!
Download STeem or WinSton and play the Atari ST version if you don't own an Atari St!
Nice job btw Galahad

manicx · 15 May 2003, 08:57

stainy · 17 January 2006, 19:37
