Pang has arcade graphics & colors (and an extra music track) that we could borrow from. It wouldn't be like Speedball 2 => CD32 (btw I like CE AGA ) Too bad noone is interested, I would have liked to take on this project, maybe. |

"Pang" is already a good conversion on A500. Don't see the need to improve here.
But I miss "Super Pang". I loved to play this in the arcades. The panic mode is great fun in 2P mode. -> I would love to see this one added to the list. If I would have to choose from the list it'd be either "Shinobi" or "Raiden". |

I don't think my work is too long even without source code and too difficult. I did not verify the code. But it is a work of Pierre Adane, therefore ASM of quality and clear without any ... Do you think? |

CFou! I think that's doable. So reachable, and even without the source. And the code is probably very good.
Problem with bad ports is that they're impossible to improve: framerate is shit, coding doesn't use original sources, etc... so in that case creating something from scratch is the best option. And with good ports you can improve them but not tremendously. A good example is Final Fight. R. Aplin did the best he could to fit the game in 512k and it's really an achievement, but A500 is just too weak and the game is crap. Plus he didn't have access to original A.I. so he did one, but it sucks in comparison. Give Mr Aplin a A1200, modern crossdev tools, and covid lockdown time it will probably be a different story I don't have mcgeezer time (or skills!!) to create a complex game from scratch on amiga. I did a few remakes but mostly java/c++. And assets or performance was hardly an issue. Even developping for Nintendo DS was easier than amiga asm coding. |

I love Raiden, but I think is not possible on the Amiga.
Shinobi is, even with 25fps enemies. Dunno about perfect arcade ports, but some of them like NBA Jam and Sunset Riders were available for the Megadrive. Only if someone had the source. |

If you look at Metro Siege, that's insane quality for A500 1MB. Btw, Final Fight have already demo Aga port done by Leathered, who, very sadly, passed away. |

I encountered this difficulty with the EOB 1&2 AGA port. I should have replaced the horrible C ++ code for display by a 100% ASM code ... i didn't because it would have taken too long, maybe in another live ... Quote:
Its adaptation of DoubleDragon2 seems really satisfying to me, but the game was achievable on an A500 without difficulty .... Quote:

but I know myself, I would only do this addictively when I didn't was at the end of it. It is therefore more reasonable for me not to start such a project !! |

As a Capcom fan, I would be ecstatic to have a port of TROJAN on the Amiga, even if it doesn't appear on the list and I don't know how many fans it has. In favor of Trojan I think it is a feasible port, given the simplicity of the gameplay and the difficulty of modern coders to replicate this aspect without help from the original developers. Not to mention the size of the sprites that also for the bosses are kept on small to medium sizes. Ditto for the music it doesn't seem to me to have an exaggerated number of contemporary instruments and I think it would fit well with the Amiga audio chip. However, returning to the top-rated ranking, Shinobi, Rastan, Wonderboy would be fantastic ports to have on the Amiga.

it is easier to create a new game depending on the technical constraints of the machine than to port to a non-specialized and less powerful computer ... With Metro Siege coder can optimize chip memory needed using more times parts of a body for different character for example... Not possible for an arcade port without modify character design... for all the graphics of one level of FinalFight in AGA, it would already be a challenge I think to make them fit in 2MB of chip |

Myself i would be very happy if someone could do penguin adventure...
A not too difficult game to port to the amiga... Easy to enhance... It's a really good game from konami which just exist on the msx. If i could code, i would do this one. |

But that would be a huge task anyway. and if the A.I. is poor, people will complain. Personally I commit in a project only if I can roughtly see the steps and if I have something running quickly enough. I can't afford to spend 1 year full time on a project. |

Sometimes I wonder if some of DOS games could be ported to Amiga, like Master of Orion or Master of Magic.

Actually, I was surprised that it Master of Magic didn't had Amiga version, because it's released when Amiga was still pretty popular. I've only little played Master of Orion 1, but Moo2 is one of my top 5 games ever, and I play it occasionally almost 20 years. It's a truly a masterpiece. |
