Maybe porting the SNES graphics? I like the SNES Wizardy Trilogy.

This is was the first RPG I ever played when I was in 2nd grade. I discovered it instead of playing around with Logo programming language in class that everyone else was doing.

Only finished character creation and wandered a bit, but it left a lasting impression despite not playing it ever again.

Game disassembled, gfx extracted, etc. (there's no sound in the original game except some blips), conversion to asm "c" like started.

Awesome... I STILL have my original Apple II diskettes + the Knights of Diamonds sequel somewhere. Looking forward to it finally on the Amiga.

Port to ugly C done. Compile for Amiga (but there's nothing to show yet).

Gfx extracted and converted to Amiga format.

Cool, more new games, new to Amiga anyway.

I missed the deadline of the competition but it's not really important (to me).
I'm progressing slowly as I lack spare time but I should have something to show in a few weeks.

Nightshft · 12 March 2019, 17:53

Right on! Yes, and please show your progress!

hitchhikr · 15 March 2019, 21:29

Sure, i'll do.

Meanwhile, perhaps you could watch [ Show youtube player ]

Valken · 16 April 2019, 16:24
