What do Moon Patrol, Donkey Kong, Tremendous Bagman, Galaxian500, Tremendous Xevious, Observe’N’Discipline, Gyruss and Burger Time all of have in widespread? Nicely other than being Arcade video games, all of those video games got the Amiga therapy by none aside from JOTD. A developer that appears to be on a mission, to port nearly each Arcade sport over to the Amiga. Nicely quick ahead to immediately nonetheless, and there is one other sport incoming, and it is ‘Lock’N’Chase’; a brand new growth by JOTD of a sport that was initially launched by Knowledge East in 1981.
And this is the newest developer notes posted through the EAB Boards (HERE). “Lock’N’Chase from Knowledge East, a PacMan variation that I performed within the arcades and I at all times preferred 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 so much (this was a pleasant shock! Enjoyable truth: Burger Time was sort of a request as I by no means performed it again within the days. I did it anyway, I do not bear in mind why, and now that one which I wished to do for a very long time proves a lot simpler due to 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 is going to 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 just a few blits due to 4 hooked up {hardware} sprites, it is going to rock”.
And that is all there may be to say concerning the sport up to now, however I can not wait to play this newest conversion by JOTD when it is completed!
