Shadow Dancer – A classic 1989/91 game is still getting a Mega Drive to Amiga port [NEW WIP DEMO!]
As we said before, while many of you have played Shadow Dancer on the Amiga, some of you felt while the game was fun, it was lacking in graphics, noting by many as having an Atari ST colour-palette and no Parallax. Well one such user is hoping to change that negative view, as not only has msmalik681 shown some new footage of the upcoming Mega Drive to Amiga port of Shadow Dancer using the Scorpion Engine, but as of today you can download the very first work in progress demo!
“Shadow Dancer is a side-scrolling hack-and-slash action game produced by Sega and originally released as an arcade game in 1989. It is the second and the final arcade game in the Shinobi series, following the original Shinobi itself. The player controls a ninja aided by an attack dog, who is fighting to save the city from a terrorist organization. Shadow Dancer was the first game developed for the Sega System 18 arcade board hardware and its generally well-received home versions were released for the Master System console and several home computer systems in 1991”.
Demo Notes : “Here is the promised demo please be aware scorpion has some major attack registering bugs and earok will be re writing the whole code soon. This should squeeze onto a 1mb(chip) a500 but it may have performance issues please post here with any feedback. Download link on the youtube page. A lot of sound effects are there but can’t be heard due to the 4 channel music but IM76 is working on a 3 channel alternative..”
