Before the deadline on Monday morning, the required amount has been reached so that the book project will be realised. Delivery is planned for December 2023, and discounted offers are currently still available. (dr) [News message: 12. Mar. 2023, 20:38] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`10.Mar.2023`	Preview video: Final Fight Enhanced More than a year ago, 'Prototron' had published a first preview video of his improved implementation of Capcom's Final Fight written in machine language (amiga-news.de reported). Now that he has almost completely rewritten the game code, he published a new video a few days ago, which presents the 2-player mode as well as new music. Unlike the first video, this version runs on an Amiga with a 68000 processor, ECS and 2MB chip RAM. As the author writes, there would also have been a version for Amigas with 1MB and OCS, but unlike the Megadrive and SNES, the Amiga would not have the hardware capability to flip a sprite horizontally. The extra memory would serve to store flipped sprites, resulting in smoother gameplay as it takes any unnecessary graphical load off the CPU. There would still be a lot to optimise - with four enemies on the screen it gets a bit sluggish - but progress would be made. (dr) [News message: 10.
