Trojan arcade Amiga port

For some time now I've been experimenting with the fantastic Scorpion Engine too,
and I'm trying to convert one of my favorite arcade games: Trojan ( Tatakai no Banka ).

Important premise: I'm not a programmer, nor a graphic designer,
I just have a lot of passion for these old glories and Commodore computers like the Amiga.

The game is obviously full of bugs, and many details are still missing. Still, I wanted to show something to the EAB community.

Here is the link to a small video:

Look good so far, and considered the game is pretty simple as structure should come out good; was the music ported by IM76?

yes, I made them. And looking at the video, I notice that, although the mod has 3 channels, the scorpion E. occasionally cuts some channels to reproduce all the sound effects

For someone who doesn't identify as a programmer, that's certainly an impressive start indeed.

Doesn't do the reputation of Scorpion any harm either.

I love these kind of games, Shadow warriors is my favourite, besides with Golden Axe. (I know they're different, but still)

Thanks for your work, wish to see it as soon as possible on my screen

This is the most impressive/exciting surprise scorpion thing I’ve seen in ages! Never heard of the game before which makes it even better.

It's nothing compared to the complexity
you've achieved with your game.

Thank you so much Mixel!
