In the 1980s Ocean Software ( Imagine Label) released a fine beat ’em up for the Amstrad CPC, C64, and ZX Spectrum. It was a pretty decent title that involved you as a street fighter, fighting gangs, in order to rescue his girlfriend, who is being held captive by a mafia boss. Sadly however, when it comes to the Amiga version, it was pretty terrible! With one person on the Lemon Amiga site saying it’s “pure crap.” Well, fast forward to today, and thanks to Douglas, he is aiming to fix the original by disassembling the original code (6502) in Ghidra, rewriting the game logic for the 68000 thus trying to be as faithful as possible!

While I don’t know when the game is going to be finished, here’s the full details from Dave Douglas sourced via the amigafrance.com website “Message from Dave Douglas: “I disassembled the original code (6502) in Ghidra and rewrote the game logic for 68000, trying to be as faithful as possible. Of course, the graphics routines were completely rewritten. The music and sound effects use Frank Willes’ Protracker player routine.”
And that’s all there is to say, but I can’t wait to see how this progresses!
