What do Moon Patrol, Donkey Kong, Tremendous Bagman, Galaxian500, Tremendous Xevious, Monitor’N’Subject, Gyruss and Burger Time all of have in widespread? Effectively aside from being Arcade video games, all of those video games got the Amiga remedy by none apart from JOTD. A developer that appears to be on a mission, to port nearly each Arcade sport over to the Amiga. Effectively quick ahead to right now nonetheless, and there is one other sport incoming, and it is ‘Lock’N’Chase’; a brand new improvement by JOTD of a sport that was initially launched by Information East in 1981.
And here is the newest developer notes posted through the EAB Boards (HERE). “Lock’N’Chase from Information East, a PacMan variation that I performed within the arcades and I at all times favored the look of the cops while you took the bag of cash. I needed to bugfix my 6502 converter which did Burger Time completely, however that one was harder. And it is the identical {hardware} that Burger Time too in order that helped rather a lot (this was a pleasant shock! Enjoyable reality: Burger Time was type of a request as I by no means performed it again within the days. I did it anyway, I do not keep in mind why, and now that one which I wished to do for a very long time proves a lot simpler because of Burger Time earlier work)”
Moreover he goes on to say. “Utilizing OCS twin playfield as there are solely 8 colours. Will use {hardware} sprites too for the cops so it would hopefully be super-smooth Utilizing twin playfield permits to keep away from having to revive the background tiles, so blits are tremendous quick. And since there are only some blits because of 4 hooked up {hardware} sprites, it would rock”.
And that is all there’s to say concerning the sport to this point, however I can not wait to play this newest conversion by JOTD when it is completed!
