Yeah the music in the arcade version of Rastan absolutely rocks

[jotd]

plus Rastan doesn't have an amiga version. Golden Axe has one, and it's pretty good.

Capcom's Trojan game is a good game to adapt ofr amiga but perhaps difficult...

Classic

I used to play this as a wee lad; difficult game though.

I've said it previously, but a classic old arcade game that should be relatively easy to port and I'd love to see on the Amiga is Roc 'n Rope

Loved so much Trojan. Maybe on Aga would be easy to do, as Rastan.

[SquawkBox]

For something different, what about some talented coder porting the sequel of Ikari Warriors aka Victory Road ? Now that would compensate for the affront consisting in one of the worst Amiga ports in existence.

On a side note, and not trying to derail the mcgeezer/DamianD beef...

Trojan should be pretty doable on A500

What are Trojans' coin-op specs(Screen are, colors, sprites' sizes?

CPU : Z80 @ 6 MHz
Sound CPU : 2 x Z80 @ 4 MHz
Sound Chip : 2 x YM2203 @ 1.5 MHz (+ MSM5205 @ 384 kHz on some games)

384 colors displayed on 4 planes.

gfx1", 0, charlayout, 768, 16 ) /* colors 768-831 */ 64 colors
gfx2", 0, bg1_tilelayout, 256, 8 ) /* colors 256-383 */ 128 colors
gfx3", 0, spritelayout, 640, 8 ) /* colors 640-767 */ 128 colors
gfx4", 0, bg2_tilelayout, 0, 8 ) /* colors 0-127 */ 128 colors

looks like 128 colors per planes.

A true Beast!

A500 would have hard time to do that!

Don't look at the hardware specs... look at the actual game

[malko]

Never heard about it. By looking at the screenshots, looks like a mix between Double Dragon & Golden Axe. Maybe worth a try with MAME.

same as rygar, it uses a z80, but the chipset is a powerhouse.

So yes, for a good version the A1200 is the best possible choice.

the game use 256+256+32+16kb of graphics = 560kb of bck/sprites/chrs

64kb of code + 3x16kb of map/sprites data.

[sandruzzo]

Actual playable screen area?

It is a question of personal feelings.

I had never made the connection but the main character this control in the manner of Ivanhoe...

By the way i did a discovery : one of the trojan soundtrack has been used in the game Rampage on the Amstrad CPC version.

I'd say 256x240.

At the moment, i have all the sprites and tiles with the right colors

Graeme ports whatever games he likes anyway; which is fine.

Not really sure why he bothered asking people for their opinions in the first place, if being totally honest.

Out of nowhere you dropped this message. Unprovoked but designed to provoke. Beyond childish.

I think is the same Ghosts'n'Goblins arcade board, hence since an almost perfect port of G'n'G was made on Amiga, a similar port should be doable with the required assets reductions - the post nuclear setting should help too since will be mostly scorched land and burned buildings; parallax might be lost but is not a big deal here
