soo... what about Final Fight?
We all know that FF for A500 wasn't something we are very proud of.
(to make it justice, it's working on even unexpanded A500) Anyway, I've searched a lots of threads and forums about FF, and to my surprise, I found out that 2 remakes were being made. 1) In the thread here It's the Aga version of FF made by Leathered. Very unfortunately, this guy met his end, and while I was reading thread, a bitterness took my heart, when I read that his last present to Amiga community would be his FF alpha (and a source code). R.i.p. good man. Forget FF, I would write some more to your honor, but I am afraid I'd become too pathetic. 2) Then, there's a guy on youtube that claims that he remake all FF on A600 (I guess, It's ecs version, but could be ocs), but he had a HD physical crash, so he is unable to share. Here is his channel I've read on this forum that some doubt his story, and that he might just faked the video. What do you think? All in all... we have 2 great attempts. One with source code, one without. Anyone working on this? Or, like the title say: what about FF? |

the 1200 is the only good candidate for those games. |

Stll descent programmer and pixel artist could have done something quit enjoyable, with compromises.

If you can enjoy bitmap brothers productions which use 16 colors..trust me you can enjoy anything using 32 colors.then the game can defenetly be ported on amiga...

Yeah, too bad Final Fight never came out for Amiga.
It...never...came...out! Now...the only solution for a humble A500 version would be re-imagining the graphics. Meaning, shrinking and redrawing everything. Still, the playability could be there. A1200 with FAST RAM could be a candidate for a 1:1 conversion though. |

A Stock 500 handle by the right person would do the job. .
have a look at final fight cd, 64 colors only and probably the best conversion evr donne a part from new generation consoles... |

The A500 could do it with 1mb and 2 fire buttons just the programmer didn't really like the game, he was a fan of shinobi, his 8bit ports there are very good.

You can't reduce that to 16 colors, otherwise, i get something horrible. An A500 cannot support 32 colors on a such a game, otherwise, you end up with dwarf characters. This is a game made for 32bits machine like the A1200 or Falcon. |

No one is expected an identical port for the 500, what amiga users are looking for is a playable game with correect graphics. I ran final fight on my amiga the other night, trust me with a little tweakening the game would have been great.. |

Dunno mate.
In this [ Show youtube player ] he started test play from Amos. Is he really that crazy to fake the whole video (edit video from (let's say) sega gameplay with Amos video)? Quote:
Most of the people didn't criticized graphics so much, as bad gameplay. Original FF worked on unexpanded A500. With fixed gameplay, adding a few more moves, would it be too much to ask for expanded A500 (1MB)? I mean.. that's double the memory then already game is using. Quote:

I didn't know better back in the day. And I enjoyed playing it many times on my Amiga 500.

Someone just contact him and ask him what method of scolling he used etc. There are some really bad slowdown if you look carefully but apart from that it looks almost the same as US Gold version Quote:
Also people complain that the enemies gang up on you and you can't brake free. Last edited by Retro1234; 16 September 2018 at 21:07. |

The majority of arcade machines had colour palettes that dwarfed the Amigas, didn't stop fairly decent conversions occuring. Final Fight is fairly easy to get right colourwise, as the vast majority of the game only scrolls horizontally right, theres a couple of sub levels that have vertical scrolling, but theres not much variation in the background graphics. With extensive colour reloading, not only could the game look nearly as colourful as the arcade, it could do it in 32 colour mode, and not lose valuable DMA time to having an extra bitplane for 64 colour mode. Unlike others, I personally feel Richard Aplin did more than a fair job considering he did it on his own and with limited time. As bad as people think it is, the alternative to Aplin was Tiertex......... and you would have begged for Richard Aplin to have been given the gig. |

R. Aplin did a very good job on Double Dragon II (the arcade was not CPS/1, much less powerful). And he wasn't given anything to begin with on FF. He had to rip the gfx from the board, and could not use them as is...
On the other hand, Capcom had superior hardware an probably a team of people to achive this. Not fair |
