Robocop AGA Work in Progress, Commodore Amiga

Way back in early October 2021, Daniel Allsopp started work on an Amiga AGA version of the classic Amiga game Robocop. The engine runs in 64 colours, utilising 64 pixel wide sprites for the background parallax on level 1, and a 4x fetch mode. Graphics were converted from the arcade originals, and reduced down with Paint and Photoshop into various banks of 16 colours. Daniel recently shared his latest update, and it's looking amazing. As this is an ongoing work in progress project, there is no download, and it will be a long time before any kind of official release. However, you can follow Daniels progress from the thread on the English Amiga Board.

-Palette Optimisations
-Optimised RoboCop Sprites
-RoboCop Animations
-Reworked HUD
-Working Game Options

Castlevania AGA, Commodore Amiga

A remake of the 1986 original but with visuals inspired by Castlevania Chronicles and other non-8 bit titles in the series.  The  goal was to provide a playable and pure version of the original Castlevania but with an Amiga flavour. Not a port of the Sharp X68000 or PlayStation "Castlevania Chronicles" game, it only happens to use many level tiles and sprites from that game because it's a practical rendition of how OG Castlevania would look in 16-bit or 32-bit. For the Sharp X68000/Castlevania Chronicles Amiga project check this developer.

Hyperborea Resurrected is a new shoot em-up for the Amiga 1200. Currently two people are working on the game, Daniel Müßener and Torben B. Larsen (the original graphician and designer of classic Amiga 500 titles such as Hybris and Battle Squadron). Together they have been working really hard on this game.

There is no demo download, still early days, but you can keep up to date with further progress on the forum thread on the English Amiga Boards.

MeetBall is a multiplayer bat & ball game, although you can play solo too.
Honestly though, playing solo isn't fun. It's called MeetBall for a reason.

Highlights:
- 1-4 simultaneous players
- Supports joystick(s) with parallelport adapter or keyboard (see FAQ)
- Timerbased brickdrops
- In-game "shop"

Initial ball speed is affected by the number of players but can be customized.

The Chaos Engine on the Commodore 64? New Video!

A while back we shared some interesting News regarding a work in progress demo of The Chaos Engine for the Commodore 64. To be honest though, this could be just proof of what is possible on the humble Commodore 64. The coder (Marv) so far, has never mentioned that it will ever become a full game, but we can only hope! Marv recently shared his latest video showing shooting recoil effects, just like the original game! It's certainly an impressive achievement so far, let's hope there's more to come!

Super Bagman Arcade to Amiga Conversion Coming

Jotd over on English Amiga Board recently announced he’s working on another Arcade to Amiga conversion. This time he has chosen Super Bagman, a Labyrinth/Maze Arcade game from 1984 by Stern Electronics. Your character is a robber. Run around a mine collecting moneybags and depositing them in a wheelbarrow at the top of the screen. Climb ladders and ride elevators to avoid two angry miners. Grab pickaxes and other objects to temporarily stun your pursuers.

Here’s what Jotd had to say. “Converted from the original Z80 disassembly from the Arcade game, this Bagman follow up has 5 screens instead of 3 and difficulty went from “hard” to “brutal” in the process. There are strategies to complete the first level, though, I did that a few years ago. No playable version released yet, just a video.”
