Put the same thing on Amiga and people will go like "Oh its too jerky look at those trees shaking" and all.

I still don't believe how people complain about the Super Hang-On port on Amiga.

it has been back ported to the Amiga from the ST. and the graphics are just dark (ahah ST palette bug or bad conversion of the palette).

Wec le Mans, if i talk again about it, has many copy protections in. You talk about a joy to ressource this damn thing or even crawl inside the code :/

Otherwise, the graphics, i mean the sprites should not be difficult to extract with the right colors.

The Black Viper engine could do Wec Le Mans on Amiga justice.

Actually i think is a Dual Playfield game in OCS/ECS but i might be wrong

Not sure, but it looks and runs so good! If only the controls were tighter....

Just dug these files out, it's been on my todo list for ages to make a version of Roc'n Rope. Made a start with the graphics but so far that's all i've done.

I think i need 36 hour days the amount of projects i have on the go at the moment.

Nice one SteveMoody

Hi SteveMoody, nice looking arcade game. Where can we find out about the other projects your working on

Shatterhand · 28 August 2019, 18:06

I don't believe I didn't mention that

it's a great game, and it would work wonderfully on Amiga as it uses only 1 button! And you can see there's nothing too hardware demanding there.

Psycho-Nics Oscar. The inspiration for Turrican. Quite a nice game.

Yup, absolutely love Psycho-Nics Oscar

Very difficult game though; when I used to pay this back in the Arcades I think I would always come undone around the 5th / 6th level.

Most of my projects are electronics based rather than Amiga ones. Part of my interest in writing a game is to brush up my assembly skills on a known platform before porting the game to a 68000 based computer i'm building.

Data East brought us so many good games. The good old "Karate Champ", then "Karnov", "Dragonninja", "Sly Spy"...

Why? It's terrible compared to the Megadrive port.

The intro music with the big picture of the bike is absolutely epic though.

While you're right Super Hang-On is merely above average on Amiga, the Mega Drive version is nothing special either.

PatmanQC · 31 August 2019, 07:14

I always thought super hang on on the Amiga was excellent.

DamienD · 31 August 2019, 15:13

Yeah me too.

Retro-Nerd · 31 August 2019, 16:14

It is a good port. Far better playbable via mouse and beats the Mega Drive enhanced version for sure.
