[WIP] Galaxian conversion
After the success of Xevious transcode & amiga adaptation, it's my turn to take a classic and transcode it to 68000. Mark is adapting to Neo Geo in parallel.
Here's a very short video (I had trouble with lagarith, switched to intel and video got truncated...) showing how the game runs so far. Lots of issues & missing features but playable. [ Show youtube player ] |

This is great, Galaxian Turbo Edition would be the icing on the cake

One extra custom channel makes all the difference

![]() I like the idea of having the arcade ships plus the end level bosses and a translated intro, maybe as alternate way of playing! That is the way ports were made in the 80s/90s by japanese, not for arcade fidelity but to expand on the concept or cover shortcomings - screw (partially) the purists! |

Galaxian is way more basic, Galaga is the next level, also using Xevious hardware: more sprites, etc... would also need a A1200 to be rendered properly.
Galaxian runs properly on a ECS system (with very little compromises on the star scroller as it's pretty difficult to do the exact star scroller they're using - which required extra hardware too - with sprite multiplexing like I'm doing, but it's good enough). |

Nah, if i remember the most of chaos on the screen, Galaga is perfectly doable - colors wise - in OCS/ECS dual playfield if you decide to use bobs, hence has to be coded almost from scratch
