ColecoGamer Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Are there other near-perfect arcade ports for the ST, Gauntlet and Gauntlet II notwithstanding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smith Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Seems like a good port for the time, but to me the enemy movement patterns seem off for some reason. They seem to dart around diagonally more than I recall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christos Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Arcade perfect, not so much, but some really good ones include: Super sprint Badlands Super off road (There's a theme here) Sinister development's Asteroids and Space Invaders Battlezone (it's running the arcade logic with a 6502 emulator) Rampart (nice mouse controls) Moon Patrol (I prefer the A8 version) Rodland Star Wars 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prog99 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Yes it’s hard to do a perfect port on an st when the original hardware used custom chips. Some other good efforts (from my aging memory) would be Rainbow Islands Toki (mind you that was by an ex demo coder) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oky2000 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Elite also did a stunning job with the 8 way scrolling (in some sections) Ghosts n Goblins, a fantastic conversion. Great pixel art too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keops Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Roadrunner and Metrocross were both great arcade conversions. Metrocross was really smooth, running at 50 fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Road Runner for my ST back then, was very happy with it. It even has parallax horizontal scrolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keops Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Bubble Bobble was fantastic as well on the ST, I even bought it back then, no pirate version for this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
