rdefabri Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) I just saw this - any idea of the background behind the development? Was there an original Last Ninja port? Glad to see something was ported! Edited November 7, 2022 by rdefabri 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhusak Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Confirmed. Laying long in the drawer but now in heavy development. The game works, but some minor things has to be done yet. Maybe some bugs. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate the C64 palette, so pastel, things look washed out on it if badly used. (and I do like my 64) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 I'm just happy to see it ported - another one of those games on C64 that I wanted on the A8. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here though he'll make an exception of using someone else's msx (@Miker?) 😉 I for one will always hear in my head Jakub's music from Battle Ships intro and Garfield demo. These were my 1st contact as a kid 🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest and taking in attention the size/tall of the bottom part of the panel the statue looks much better and this is the Beebs version port... but could try to replace the towers though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz atarionline.pl Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 As Jakub Husak announced in 2013, he did the port of the game in 2022 with the help of Miker and AdamW. The game cartridge file CAR is on AtariOnline.pl website in the game archive: http://atarionline.pl/v01/index.php?ct=kazip&sub=L&title=+Last+Ninja+2#kaz_82acc8ffdcc1fc0132f877449e2bbd5c Description, control in the news: http://atarionline.pl/v01/index.php?ct=nowinki&ucat=1&subaction=showfull&id=1671657145 Here's the gameplay: 18 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gury Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 That is what I (and probably many others) waited for our beloved machines. This is perfect port of classic game. Game, music, graphics... all is there. Big thank you to all involved 👍🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) I must admit this game passed me by BITD. (I never recall my C64 owning friends playing it on their machines). Closest I got to this type of game was the A8 title "Ninja" which I did play quite often. (Still got my original cassette for nostalgic reasons). Thanks to Jakub (and others) for the labour of love to port over what - I am guessing - is a true to original version of this game. Over 9 years too!! Kudos. One thing - I am currently playing this on Altirra with the keyboard. (Will hook up real hardware later on). After a while you get used to the fighting combos and picking up objects, (latter took me a while to master when I came across a key). (Space bar appears to toggle the fighting mode/weapons; ctrl and arrow keys kicking, punching and ducking). You also get used to the directional control after a while, although I've died plenty of times being kicked by an enemy whilst trying to control direction! Maybe on real hardware with the joystick it is easier? What do these arrows mean(?) as I assume they are indicating here I can climb the wall but I can't seem to. Here my Ninja is standing directly in front of one: Also I assume there is a finite amount of thowing stars? I collected the weapon but in testing how to throw them I must have used them up. There doesn't appear to be a counter showing howe many stars are left in this game, (guess in the original there wasn't either). Nice title credits and music too btw. EDIT: Ah nevermind my arrow question - I watched the video above and see how it works now. Cool.

patjomki Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Great to see the game now on a8. 👍 A small disappointment are the graphics, I wish - it's that time of the year for wishes, isn't it? - they were better and showed more of what the a8 is capable of. Nevertheless thanks to all involved for porting this game. Nice xmas present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I know what you mean but I think the idea was to be true to the original port. You could say the sound effects could be improved upon given what the A8 is capable of, (think Alley cat and more recently Prince of Persia both of which have some amazing sound effects), but I don't think that was the goal and this is a faithful port of a classic.

tjlazer Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Excellent port! Hoping there will be an ATR release, I'm sure it will be on 2 or more disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
