HOT NEWS : Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja conversion is in the works via JOTD for the Amiga


Well this is incredible news!! As an IndieRetroNews reader, has recently informed us in our comments feed, that JOTD is now working on a Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja Arcade conversion for the Commodore Amiga (AGA). Although it’s still in a very early stage of development, and the original Amiga version of the game was regarded as terrible with one such Lemon Amiga saying “This is absolute dreck with horrible graphics, terrible backgrounds, how did this get released in this state?” Rest assured if JOTD finishes this conversion, it’s sure to be another hit in the Amiga scene.

While you can follow the latest developments located at the EAB link below. Here is what the wikipedia says about the game. “In Bad Dudes, the players are tasked with rescuing “President Ronnie” from ninja kidnappers. The game was a commercial success, becoming one of America’s top five highest-grossing games in 1988. The arcade version received generally positive reviews from critics, while the home conversions received a positive to mixed critical reception. It has since become widely known for its general premise and introductory cutscene”

Dev Notes : Been working on this “secret” project for a few weeks reverse engineered from scratch, but now it’s really promising, even if riddled with bugs and stuff that doesn’t work properly. The only uncertainties is

  • how it’s going to fare with all objects on screen, but at 25Hz with fastmem it should cut it, even if minor slowdowns at some point…
  • will there be enough memory to hold a whole level enemy sprites. We’ll see about that. But the game has already some file loading to avoid having all memory at once (unlike my other conversions)
