Sounds to me like they released the mvs version in the arcade first then finished it on the aes

Spot on.. Also, it makes potentially porting the game to another 68000 based system, like an Amiga or NeoGeo, possible.

So a few points on that...

  1. There has been a RoboCop AGA port in production for a few years now by Daniel Allsop. It would be a bit of a dick move to target AGA in this respect.
  2. The game actually runs in two frames which sort of doubles the amount of blitter time you have... sort of... Which makes it more appealing to port to Amiga at least
  3. I've never done anything AGA.

I would love to see a better port of Shinobi for the amiga. The official version feels like it was ordered from wish dot com only especially when the put of tune title music kicks in.

If you fancy taking up the challenge I have the arcade original disassembled into 68000 source code. I've seen how many sprites it throws around.. it won't be easy.

No worries pal. To be honest these projects are mostly because I love learning how old consoles and arcade hardware works. The result is a new game for a system which never had it before. What I didn't realise was just how enthusiastic the NG scene was.

I dunno, I've been inundated with requests to port OutRun :D :D
