Bignonia

Blue Angel 69 · 17 September 2006, 12:01

Anyone here knows one of developers & crackers most talk named "Bignonia"

I have something on my mind...I know that Bignonia is one developer and converts C64 games into unofficial Amiga games (ex. Frantic Freddie, Zaxxon and Donkey Kong) but if Bignonia is the developer of these games,then who is the publisher of theme?

Also I know that Bignonia published a "Bignonia MegaDEMO". It's very cool,tought

Anyone wants dicuss "Bignonia" I'd like to know and read some of you options about it.

Bignonia games we not distributed by anyone as they were illegal, so they were simply spread and created for nothing, much like Symbiosis' Ultimate Gameboy Emulator with their version of Tetris that was a carbon copy of Gameboy Tetris.

One of my fave Bignonia game is "Frantic Freddie" I had it back in 1996. I know that was a PD/Freeware game,but my bro knows how to copy Amiga games. Other

game was "Donkey Kong" Reminds me the NES I had from 1990 till 1996 (my poor NES went to thrash..old and non-good working)

I love BIGNONIA. Aspecialy the superb musics by MR.VIDEO.

Back in the day, emulators were just at the beginning. The only way to play good old c64 games on AMIGA, were the BIGNONIA titles. Voting via smail for the next converion was classic.

If he emailed you in private I'm not sure you should be posting his email address on a public forum

I somehow missed these guys back in the day... didn't discover them until a few weeks ago.

I spent a fair chunk of last weekend playing Popeye, Donkey Kong, Aztec Challenge, and Bagitman... all very high quality, addicting games. Haven't had so much fun playing amiga games in years.

Bagitman is damn hard, but I'm determined to beat it with no cheats :P

Always played their games with my original Amiga years ago, still playing their games with WinUae these days!

...with the exception of Zaxxon, never liked this game...

I read somewhere about a Bignonia missing game made back in 1989: "Future Combat": anyone knows anything about it?
