An IndieRetroNews reader has informed us that JOTD is working on a Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja Arcade conversion for the Commodore Amiga (AGA). Although it’s still in the early stages of development, the original Amiga version of the game was criticized for its graphics and backgrounds. If JOTD completes this conversion, it’s sure to be a hit in the Amiga scene.
You can watch early footage here. Follow the latest developments on the EAB forum. According to Wikipedia, Bad Dudes tasks players with rescuing “President Ronnie” from ninja kidnappers and was a commercial success in 1988. The arcade version received positive reviews, while home conversions had mixed reception.
Developer Notes: Been working on this “secret” project for a few weeks, reverse engineered from scratch. It’s promising but has bugs and issues. Uncertainties include handling all objects on screen at 25Hz with fastmem and having enough memory for enemy sprites. The game already has file loading to manage memory more efficiently.
