Re : Rodland and ninja warriors

Thank you, Denis. That is such a kind thing to say. I have very fond memories of working on the Amiga and Atari ST. I worked on those titles with programmer John Croudy, and artist Ned Langman. Both are on Facebook, and in my friends list.

As engineers, we had no direct contact with Taito or Jaleco. But we did receive some diskettes with the original graphics files, sound effects, and sheet music. We would then process the graphics so that it could be used on the Amiga and Atari ST. We never had any of the original Japanese source code, so the code and gameplay were always recreated by us, by playing and observing the coin-op machine.

Greetings from Los Angeles.

-Ron.

another answer from Ron : Hi Denis. I left the Sales Curve after Super SWIV. The Renegade/DD2 game you mention (the combatribes) must have been started after that. I have no recollection of it.

I love "Daddy Mulk" (Ninja Warriors theme), back then and still now. I think it was (and is) one of the best arcade machine tunes, and I had a lot of fun recreating it on the Amiga. (As an aside: I really like Japanese techno pop, such as YMO, Towa Tei, Ken Ishii)

The Amiga had several special chips that gave it more power than the Atari ST. But programming these chips made programming for the Amiga much more complex. The Atari ST was much more straightforward to program. For me, its complexity gave the Amiga hardware a lot of personality and depth. It also had a well-designed operating system. I learned a lot from programming the Amiga. I remember it quite well. I found the Atari much less interesting, and hardly remember it at all.

-Ron.
