Zuma, any ports?

Lektroid · 27 August 2023, 06:03

I used to play Zuma on my phone, it was an awesome little game yet long discontinued. I think it would work really well as an Amiga title. Has anyone ported this, or have there been any clones? I can imagine an AGA version would be amazing.

Thank you, that's awesome that it has been ported. However, I'm on 3.2.x and this seems to be for OS4 only? Is it possible to get it running on 3.2.x, or is there another version?

I've asked over here if it is possible to dual boot an Amiga.

Title music from ZAZ-- [ Show youtube player ]

I just compiled it on debian12 ~ gameplay not exactly the same as Zuma but none the less enjoyable. Game music is pretty cool... looks like they're just .ogg files, so one can likely drop in your own choices.

Dunno about a amiga 3.2.x build ... one can only say that all the source code's there =)

this site https://zaz.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=3 says amiga 4.x with PPC CPU , I bet because of OpenGL .

I presume I'd need extra Open GL hardware and a new OS install to make this run? Even then, would it even work on a A1200 since it is requiring a PPC CPU? Seems a major upgrade to run a game.

Just hoping someone makes an AGA version for 3.2.x on the A1200

Just bumping this one in the hope some savvy coder will pick it up... I've been enjoying the C64 version, but really surprised it's not been properly ported to Amiga OS 3.2.x (at least without a pile of hardware upgrades)...
