Fresh off the press with an exclusive reveal for the Commodore Amiga community, as we've recently been informed by our good friend Aaron White, that the 1987 Arcade game of 'Wardner', is coming to the Amiga via RetroRic and developed using Earok's Scorpion Engine. If you've not heard of this game before, it's a side-scrolling platformer developed by Toaplan and published in arcades worldwide by Taito in 1987. A game in which you play as Dover on a journey to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend Mia from the evil warlock. In light of this news, we've got some early footage of the game below.
And here's the full details. "My current work on bringing Toaplan's Wardner to the humble Amiga platform. Work started just 1 month ago and I have been learning a lot during this foray into game development. I hope to have a working prototype of Level 1 by the end of April, and maybe a demo if there's interest from anyone wanting to give it a try and even playtest. I'd say level 1 is about 65% complete at this point, just have a few enemies and the background layer to add. The plan is to release the game for stock AGA and OCS Amigas".
And that's all there is to say about the game, but we look forward to playing this new game from a member of the RGDS podcast team!
well done ric
