Heaven/TQA Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 my VBXE machine has been broken since I got it and could not repair the 65XE so it would be unlikely... but interesting... had not thought of replacing the sprites with VBXE sprites.

Rybags Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The C64 one is pretty poor looking, the buggy's about all it's got going for it. You can do VBXE dev work just fine using Altirra - I just test stuff periodically on the real hardware. The way I'd go with conversions using VBXE sprites - just leave the PMGs as they are, they're still useful as collision triggers. Just change the colour and priority such that they never get displayed. Also you can use VBXE priority to mask PMGs, but then you'd have to do background colour matching as well.

UberArcade Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 This looks cool. I hope you take the conversion all the way and put in the tarzan character and the yell at the beginning of the game. I have a Jungle King arcade game and it would be cool to have a home version that is closer to the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 ok... should I take some look into Moon Patrol? simple things: - Font - Widescreen (don't think it will effect game play) - Buggy Sprite - Sound Did I read "sound" ? mp.xex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I think this is totally great. Good job on all of that as the music totally makes it feel like the arcade game! Makes you wonder why they didn't bother at least putting some semblance of the music in the original. To me, Jungle Hunt was always such a pale shadow of the original Jungle King (the game I originally knew). I'd be looking forward to the graphic changes. And the ending kiss sequence, while not totally necessary, would be icing on the cake. In regards to Moon Patrol.. I've always thought it was one of the better ports so there's not a whole lot to be changed except of course maybe some graphic tweaks, especially the car of course. If you're looking for any other suggestions, I've always thought modifying 8bit Pengo to use the original "Popcorn" music would have been a nice one.

BrianC Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 If you're looking for any other suggestions, I've always thought modifying 8bit Pengo to use the original "Popcorn" music would have been a nice one. I think there's an alternate arcade version of Pengo that has the same tune as the 800/5200, from what I remember when trying the game out. I noticed the 5200 Pengo has an extra back beat to the music that the 800 version lacks. I found out the JP Mega Drive version in classic mode also lacks Popcorn (and, from what I remember, has music different from the alternate arcade music). The Saturn and JP (but not US?/EU) GG ports have Popcorn, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's an alternate arcade version of Pengo that has the same tune as the 800/5200, Yes absolutely. The US arcade version had that alternate music (and I think many of them didn't even have that "ice clearing" at the beginning of each stage for some strange reason). I've always thought that since the US version had that music, then that is why Atari decided to use that particular tune on their home ports. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOgGNjihgbE I found out the JP Mega Drive version in classic mode also lacks Popcorn (and, from what I remember, has music different from the alternate arcade music). The Saturn and JP (but not US?/EU) GG ports have Popcorn, though. I'll have to check out the Saturn version sometime. I do have the GG version in cart form and the Megadrive ROM somewhere. Pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thoughts... Adding the music to Jungle Hunt really adds to the gameplay and arcade feel. Moon Patrol... I would love the better fonts and better buggy graphics at least. It is actually not a bad game. Don't forget us non VBXE users when you make the mod please. Pengo... Used the music "Popcorn" eh? Kewl! That would certainly make that game like 3x more fun. But then I just like "Popcorn" as a song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldAtarian Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I was never able to get into this game without the music. Will there be a Pirate Pete version? Edited March 19, 2011 by OldAtarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Pereira Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi, great another remake. I just want to say something about re-defining 'our guy' sprite shapes: It will look good/real if all them seems equal. The walking/jumping he's small and fat... but on the water it's extended and like that the Legs have a double width Player... It would look better, probably if it is a little bit more tall in the jumping/walking sections but in a way that it looks the same on the section. But here on the diving section, in a way that his Legs didn't need a double width Player. The good is that it looks the same, if it's in vertical or in horizontal position... Just a thought... José Pereira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
