Ah, the joys of modern technology Maybe the AI could also be trained to write the story of the game.

Guessing this is AGA?

Odd they would use the highly copyright sensitive Mickey Mouse graphics but not the awesome music from the original game. Looks nice though, it's a pretty playable platform game for all age groups on the Mega Drive despite it's child friendly Disney approved theme.

It could definitely be used to write the review of it in the style of Amiga Format.

Good point

If you are targeting AGA, it would be wise to have RTG support, since now there is more RTG Amiga's than AGA ones thanks to PiStorm/Emu68/Vampires

But is that really true? I do have a V1200 myself saying that but I'm not sure there is evidence to back up the assertion that more people are running modern solutions in their Amigas. Happy to be corrected on this.

It's probably not true But I am quite surprised by the number of people on Pistorm discord, and there are some *speculations* that number of sold Vampires in different incarnations passed over 10.000 (there is SAGA RTG) ...

I have A500+ with Emu68 and would like to have A1200 but with current prices and future trends - it is totally out of question. Hence, AGA is of no interest for me, especially after seeing quality of some RTG productions (simple games like Kobo Deluxe, Arcanoid, different DOS ports, etc) in 320x240x256 or 640x480x256 ...

But, A500(+) outsold A1200 probably by not a small factor in due times. Those A500's are now suddenly becoming respectable computers/targets and that was reason for previous post joke

I know for sure that I will investigate RTG dev 100% more than AGA one.

A bit late in the day response to this, since I did not see one following ..

Scorpion, which I believe is used to develop the game, has no support for RTG, it probably never will. It may one day end up with AHI support though which would be cool!

I see no reason for developers to limit themselves in any way, if squeezing everything into 1MB OCS is your jam then go for it, it does give maximum user coverage for sure. I do feel that unless you are a genius (you all know who you are) then this kind of programming is not for everyone. The potential of the Amiga has been near reached for OCS/ECS, AGA was never properly utilised to it's potential. There is A LOT that can be done with a stock 1200, is nice to see stuff being developed to push these kinds of machine to it's limit. Like many, I wonder what would have been if Commodore has stuffed 1MB of fast in the machine, arcade perfect conversions would have been commonplace.

RTG, for me, holds little interest, since I never could afford such a beast back in the day, so have no nostalgic connection. That said, I have systems capable of running all stuff so welcome anything new that is developed.

It was on IRN before too as the first tease

[DanyPPC]

I have a doubt, the background soundtrack is taken from MegaDrive and put on the video, but not played/converted in Amiga mod module.
Am I right ?

No, it's played back from the CD32, not mod...

[Bren McGuire]
