Lately we’ve got had a number of high quality releases from JOTD for the Amiga. We have had video games like Ms Pacman, Hyper Sports activities, Elevator Motion, US Championship V’ball, Tetris 1200, Lock’N’Chase and even my favourite Dig Dug.
Listed below are the most recent developer notes from the linked EAB thread (right here). “One other cool recreation I found on Namco Museum DS in 2008: Dig Dug 2. You’ll be able to pump monsters till they explode, however you may also sink the bottom they stroll on, incomes much more factors. I play 6809 (I really like them), however it wasn’t the best as a result of… Namco. These guys ought to have taken coding classes from Konami. I needed to transfer some code from the IRQ to the principle loop, in any other case it crashed fully. Unfavorable offsets that triggered a bug in my converter (by no means seen earlier than as a result of it is very unusual to code like that. Nicely, it is mounted now).
“That plus a process system that was onerous to simulate, however the result’s 100% playable like the unique. No9 stated he would redo the tunes (when he completed all of the others, I piled on him). The sounds are performed however the video seize did not choose them up (issues with WinUAE seize these days). Plus, I performed a superb recreation right here. 17 ranges. Not dangerous.”
And that is all of the developer has to say in regards to the recreation. However as quickly as I discover extra data nearer to the launch, this text might be up to date accordingly. I am unable to wait 🙂
