Stop me if I'm being stupid, but is there a way to change the code, so instead of the game being told to import and change the ST graphics on the fly, change the code to display Amiga bitmap sprites so you could use a 32 colour palette? Or is that alot more work than manually changing the sprites yourself?

one thing to do first would be to extract the whole game as files. it would makes things easier.

This is an exciting project. Even though creating original games on the Amgia is a real challenge I hope this trend of fixing up crappy ports continues
Black Tiger would make a fine next candidate. |

I applaud earok's dedication and effort but there is is much to fix (on top of very likely crappy code given that the coders did not even bother writing a converter for the assets) that this energy might be better spent rewriting the game from scratch.

This game needs: Completely new graphics, music, better controls and smooth scrolling. Imo it's not worth when you spend too much time for hacking it, it's still crap even with the changed sprites.

Above all swapping second button jump and forward would be most important feature.

I could not resist touching the image and creating a new palette

@nobody Heh, that's interesting. I might steal the colour you've substituted for grey.
@shatterhand I'm certain there is! I'm just not sure how to do it without disassembling and reassembling the source.. all I've done so far is overwritten the code that does a check for joystick up with a check for 2nd button (since it occupies the same amount of space in the code) Anyway, well that's one monster substituted. I figured it made more sense to have the mecha dragon as the final boss rather than the green dragon, especially since the ending text alludes to him being a robot anyway.. |

in the arcade machine, you have the dragon at first, and THEN once defeated the meka dragon.

If there's going to only be one dragon in the game, I figure may as well be the Mecha one.. |

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=45621&page=3 My main beef with the game was to try and fix up the gameplay mechanics to make it a smoother and faster game. Have better controlled jumping and trying to remove that weird ninja kick that he does, doing faster attacks with a short animation and be able to attack in multiple directions, making hitting an enemy give better feedback, that sort of thing. And then I went ahead and designed an entire RPG-system into it and it went way over my head in scope I'll upload whatever graphics I have when at home. |

Whoa, haven't seen that before. Pretty cool looking forward to seeing your graphics
I definitely don't have any ambitious scope for this, I just wanted to tidy up a couple of rough edges in preparation for an unofficial CD32 port.. |

Would it be easier to tie up and the second button together than try to separate out ladders and jumps. It wouldn't hurt for up and 2nd button to jump, equally it wouldn't matter if up and 2nd button climbed ladders.

If you have a crap joypad, like I do, where you keep pressing up accidentaly, it kinda does make a difference
