flame Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi everyone ! I'm happy to say my first Atari 2600 game SOUL OF THE BEAST inspired by the 1989 Amiga classic, is done ! It features more than 15 unique enemy types, variants, and items. Non-linear level design, in a standard 4K NTSC ROM. I'm hoping to move forward with a cart release and a PAL version. https://aeriform.itch.io/beast I hope you check it out ! 15 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/321141-soul-of-the-beast/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredtdk Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I'm a fan of this franchise started in Amiga, but I only met it through Genesis / Megadrive. My congratulations on the conversion to our beloved atari 2600. 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/321141-soul-of-the-beast/#findComment-4833508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTrust Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Neat. Would have liked to have a jump button, but for 4k, very nice. Ability to leave a tip is appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/321141-soul-of-the-beast/#findComment-4833618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superkitten Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) This is gorgeous, thanks for sharing it! I bet you could get some volunteers for adding sounds and fine-tuning the sprite physics / gameplay with this strong proof of concept. I have my boxed copies of BEAST 1-3 for Amiga sitting in my bookcase, here - so this is a treat! If only my Amiga still worked... ?

4ever2600 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Yeah just watched the entire zph awards on yt. Seriously, congrats on the win! Grew up on Atari consoles then to Commodore ones, SOTB series was one of my favorites. I remember when you first started the adaption years ago and thought, wow, he has his work cut out for him! Turned out great even as a 4k game... 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/321141-soul-of-the-beast/#findComment-5004569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
