Over the previous few years we have had a variety of high quality releases by JOTD for the Amiga. We have had video games resembling Ms Pacman, Hyper Sports activities, Elevator Motion, US Championship V’ball, Tetris 1200, Lock’N’Chase, and even my private favorite Xevious 1200. Properly whereas we await the upcoming Jail Break conversion that’s quickly to be completed, JOTD has introduced he’s now engaged on Dig Dug 2. A 1985 motion online game developed and printed by Namco for Japanese arcades as a sequel to the 1982 hit recreation Dig Dug.
This is the most recent developer notes from the EAB thread linked (right here). “One other cool recreation I found on Namco Museum DS in 2008: Dig Dug 2. You possibly can pump monsters until they explode, however you may also sink the bottom the place they’re strolling on, making much more factors. 6809 recreation (I like them), however 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 primary loop else it was crashing fully. Unfavorable offsets that triggered a bug in my converter (by no means was seen earlier than as a result of it is so bizarre to code like that). Properly, that is mounted now.”
“That plus a process system that was a bitch to simulate, however the result’s 100% playable like the unique. No9 advised he would redo the tunes (when he is carried out all the opposite ones I piled on him). The sounds are carried out however the video seize did not get them (points with WinUAE seize these days). Plus I performed recreation right here. 17 ranges. Not dangerous.”
And that is all there may be to say in regards to the recreation from the developer. However as quickly as I discover out extra info nearer to launch, this text will likely be correctly up to date. I can not wait 🙂
