If you played ‘ Ghosts’n Goblins ‘ the first game in the Ghosts ‘n Goblins franchise on systems such as the Amstrad, Amiga, Atari, C64 and ZX Spectrum, or the more recent arcade overhaul that was released for the Plus/4. You’ll be interested to know that as of just recently, JOTD has started working on Ghost’s’n Goblins for the Commodore Amiga as an AGA edition. Although he does state “This will be a AGA-only project I think. The original OCS version by Elite is already very good. Not sure it can be improved (apart from the reuse of the original code)”
Alpha Footage?
Here’s the latest from JOTD. “A bit early to talk about this project or is it? Skyzoo73(link) did an awesome job with the first level in Scorpion, but after confirming with him again, this isn’t going to go further. I asked him if he blessed the fact that I continue the work (from scratch) and he was ok. I also joined IM76 who provided me with the tunes he made for the first level & others. Pretty awesome job too. Graphically, the status isn’t too impressive but
- game is fully transcoded
- game boots and shows title screen (will the front layer, the typo on “RESERVED”, 16 credits WTF and all)
- (background tiles & sprites aren’t implemented yet but the logic is all there, the IRQ is running and the bank switching mechanism seems to work too)”
And that’s all we know so far, but as soon as we know more this article will be updated with the latest news!
