A very special release to begin the week and this time it's from Earok and team, is an enhanced Amiga CD32 game that I think you might enjoy. This is none other than ' Wonder Dog ', which originally appeared on the Sega Mega-CD in 1992 by Core Design and was then ported over to the Amiga. But unlike the original Amiga version which star'd a dog who must rescue his home planet from invading forces, this one has been enhanced with far better pallets so it's more in line with the Sega version and not the original Amiga one.
Another interesting fact about this release, was Cobe was fortunate enough to receive the blessing of the original coder Dan Scott for his efforts (whose handwriting graces the updated cover) which is another reason how this release came about. Other such changes in this version, include JOTD's CD32Load so No OS flashes, pause with play, quit with forward+reverse. Toggle music/sfx from the menu with blue, CDXL intro from the Mega CD version, alternative HAM6 CDXL intro, trainer, and all the level passwords are on the title screen, in case you forget or get stuck.
What a great release indeed, and it's amazing what Earok and team have achieved through all these years, there hasn't been a month gone by where the Amiga CD32 hasn't had something new to play. So now you too can enjoy this lovely platformer, with all it's enemies, bosses, secret rooms and much more that even your children can pick up and play!
