retroillucid Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Any chance for a Colecovision port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 That looks very impressive. Both programming and art? Well done, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.L Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 thanks all each line of all this remakes are from me, i have started in 2012 from a blank page. all this remakes represent 1-2 year of coding the gfx are screenshots from emulators and sound has been catched with freecorder you can read the source in the zip (*.bas file) i think the Megadrive source could be adaptated on a many 8bit hardware (Colecovision,Master system,Nes....) because all the gfx and sound are in data in the .bex file (over 50.000 lines of code )if someone want to do it, it would be cooli can help him, but in basic langague only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 One thing that may not be clear is the OP made this in BasiEgaXorz a Sega Genesis BASIC compiler: http://devster.monkeeh.com/sega/basiegaxorz/ If yall want a Coleco port support PixelBoy or nitrofurano in their efforts to make a BASIC compiler!

+Allan Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 This would make a great 7800 game. Maybe it could be done in 7800BASIC? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.L Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 This would make a great 7800 game. Maybe it could be done in 7800BASIC? Allan it's a good idea. why not ? i will look if it's possible. (maybe the AppleII version) if someone want to help me to port the code to 7800 basic, it would be great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Fantastic job there! Now you need to do Barbarian II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.L Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 thanks ! i don't think i will do barbarianII, because it represent too much time. remaking this Atari ST version of Barbarian 1 took me 2 years of work...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmilo Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Awesome work! Incredible effort to extract all that graphics and music... Not to mention gameplay... Excellent! And you even provide source code and all resources.... Cool... Some people are already working on a better A8 version of barbarian... Think maybe your code and graphics could help. Thanks!

BinaryStar Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Awesome job. I'll be sure to check it out on the Megadrive. I spent countless hours playing the c64 version of Barbarian as a kid. Up there with IK+ as one of the best 1-on-1 8bit fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
