Throughout the years most of the games I feature on Indie Retro News, are either arcade platformers, shoot 'em ups, or my least favorite genre, puzzlers. Well here's something that is likely to spice it up a bit in the Amiga scene, is Zener's Commodore Amiga itch io upload of Tracker Hero. A musical game that doesn't just use MOD song files, but if you've ever played Guitar Hero or Dance Mat, then this latest Amiga update will suit you perfectly! Not sure what I mean? Then check out this gameplay video below and it will all make sense :).
Here's the latest from the developer. "Tracker Hero is a musical game for the Amiga that uses MOD song files. It can be played with keyboard, Joystick, Guitar or Dance Mat (Using Paul Willingham's or PSX64 PS2 to Amiga adapter). Other PSX to Amiga CD32 adapters may also work. It has been developed on an Amiga 1200 and WinUAE using Amiblitz2, Personal Paint, Protracker and some other tools".

Looks fun! Actually.. Count Me In is a better name for it 😅
ReplyDeleteIs it me, or doesn't any of the button presses sync up to instruments/rhythm/features in the music?
ReplyDeleteTracker Hero isn’t new, it was released years ago. This is just an Itch upload.
ReplyDeleteahhh damn it! Thanks for the notice, have changed the write up
DeleteDon't worry about it. Fun doesn't have an expiration date.
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, long time ago there was an also awesome PC game called "Tap a Jam", that also worked on MOD files in the same way :D
This used to be a great site to visit where the aim was to publish retro news to the people. Nowadays it seems like all it is about is to get people to click on the monetized Saberman channel videos ??? Maybe links to other non-monetized channels, where people are into the retro because of the spirit and not the money, could be possible ?? or just no video links at all - it is your blog we come to visit and read...
