Makers of James Pond Series Game wasn't released for the Amiga. Port Needed.
The Makers of the James Pond Series Game wasn't released for the Amiga. It was a gem in Vectordean's array of games. A Port is needed. Can a company port this title to the Amiga? Seems like a quite straightforward thing to do. Can anyone guess what the game is called?

Rolo to the Rescue ?
If it is, it's indeed a gem, incredibly nice game, the most cute graphics ever on a game. And it seems to be a game perfectly doable on Amiga. But being doable and being straightforward are two very different things ![]() My only gripe with it is that the game is huge and there's no save or password system. (ok, nowadays there's a 50 minute long longplay of it on Youtube.. but it took me like 6-7 hours straight to finish it the first time and most people I know who played the game agrees it badly needed some kind of saving system). |

Looks like a Sonic/Super Frog approach may work here. Large, scrolling maps with plenty of jumping and platforms. I'm going to crank up my Genesis emulator...

It's the cutest game ever, believe me
![]() I remember the maps being very small most of the time, I don't think it ever goes beyond James Pond 2 size, but I may be wrong. The parallax is nice but you can kill it to have more speed and colors, the control scheme is easy to adapt for 1 button + keyboard (for changing characters, etc). I see no reason why this couldn't be done on an unexpanded ECS 1mb machine. The game is really very nice, I've finished it a couple of times. I actually do have a cartridge of it (came with a pack of stuff I bought) even though I do own a Mega Everdrive.; |
