oky2000 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looking at the extremely impressive ST game on the driving/flying sections I was wondering if there were ever any other games that made use of this impressive bit of scaling bitmap source code? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zogging Hell Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Ocean didn't make a lot of driving games, the only 'driving' game they released I think after this was Chase HQ 2 (I know of) and that had a different set of programmers. So I think (unless the guys responsible for this took their source code with them) it is unlikely. Surprising really as Ocean are notorious for sprite switching identikit platformers on the same engine, and this must have been a big seller.

oky2000 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 It's a great game for the ST, a real "who needs custom chips when you have talented developers?" game. I would have been mightyly impressed back then. Chase HQ 1 was supposed to use this engine, Bracey told ZZAP! magazine etc as much and the preview screenshots are far superior and look more like the arcade, but that was a Continental Circus reskin. Chase HQ is a different game engine again completely and for me not as good. Batman the movie on ST isn't that far off Batman Returns for the Mega-CD all things considered.

oky2000 Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 On the Amiga that was the only game the three listed programmers worked on, for the ST the three programmers listed only show for Top Gun and Northstar (Gremlin). I wonder why nobody used their talents again, so strange and a real waste of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
