JOTD has created some amazing conversions/ports over the years. Games such as Moon Patrol, Donkey Kong, Tetris 1200 (AGA), Super Bagman, Galaxian500 and our personal favorite Super Xevious. Well it doesn't look anything is going to stop this powerhouse of a developer from creating Arcade to Amiga conversions any time soon. As he has recently announced that he is working on bringing the Arcade game of 'Pooyan' over to the Amiga. To coincide with this news, we've got some early footage of the game below.
If you haven't heard the name Pooyan before, you'll probably be interested to know it was an Arcade game released in 1982 by Konami, and featured Mamma Pig defending her home and rescuing her baby piglets(Pooyan) from menacing wolves that in the first stage are floating down to get you using balloons. And that's all we can say about the game thus far, but as soon as the game has progressed far enough to be feature complete, I will give another announcement here on IRN.
Amiga OCS port for Pooyan
Current limitations:
- - slow for A500, but runs well on A1200 or any 020 machine.
- - no music as of yet (no9 will be doing the music again)
- - limited sound
- - missing features
I hope they make the pigs pink this time. The Amiga can do it!
ReplyDeleteCool! More arcade games that are no longer accessible or available for sale being ported to the Amiga. These have all been high level ports also.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for next game. JOTD seems to have nice taste. Classic arcade games that are fun to play today.
