A great Friday news story for you all, as we've just been informed through Facebook, that the previously announced Commodore Amiga game of 'Dr.Dangerous' by HooGames2017, has come out of development and is finally available to download and play. A game that not only features great graphics, but there's lots of levels, great music and so much more that makes this a worthy Scorpion Engine developed game to play right now. To coincide with this news, we've got some footage of the game via Saberman below.
While the story of the game is very long winded and a bit overwhelming for me, here's what the creator said in brief from the first announcement to now. "My first attempt to make an Amiga game. I'm using the Scorpion Engine and this is the result. The downloadable Amiga digital version is available as an ADF, lha and has Amiga mini support. For best results, we recommend playing the game using the WinUAE emulator. Alternatively, use a suitable utility such as "adf2disk" to write the ADF file to a floppy disk to play on real Amiga hardware".

Great game !!
ReplyDeleteOr even better ... great game despite being a Scorpion Engine game ;)
ReplyDeleteWhats your problem with Scorpion engine, Anonymous?
DeleteThere's probably only one or two that hate the scorpion engine, and I have no idea why! Ah well, the vast majority are happy so it's all good :)
DeleteI am not the one complaining about Scorpion Engine games, that's why I said 'despite being a Scorpion Engine game', but I remember that someone said that IndieRetroNews is becoming the Scorpion Engine RetroNews ;)
DeleteScorpion Engine is to Amiga what Unity is to PC. Without Unity, many PC games would not exist.
DeleteExactly
Deleteok so there should be an excessive list of Scorpion Engine games, right? can you name a list of released Scorpion Engine titles?
DeleteWell, here's my list Anon:
DeleteTurbo Sprint
The Shadows of Sergoth
Creeping Me Out: Hex Night (wip)
Duckstroma
Attack of the PETSCII Robots
Tales of Gorluth III
Dr.Dangerous
To name but a few.
What is your list, Anon ?
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat game indeed, I like it a lot so far, the Scorpion Engine seems to be a real game changer.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Dr. Dangerous is the best outcome so far!
DeleteI've testted it with the icedrake and I get corrupted graphics, Has anyone tried it with an Icedrake too?
ReplyDeleteReally enjoying this one! It is a little bit of a shame that one touch resets the entire level to the start, tutorial screens and all, but that's a minor thing in a great title. Very cool to see games like this gracing our Amiga monitors in 2024!
ReplyDeleteI was forgotten to comment this : Dr. Dangerous is the example that Scorpion engine with skilled hands produces excellent titles, this one is nice to see, funny to play and i love the animations (so cured).
