Remember me
If you played ' Ghosts'n Goblins ' the first game in the Ghosts 'n Goblins franchise on systems such as the Amstrad, Amiga, Atari, C64 and ZX Spectrum, or the more recent arcade overhaul that was released for the Plus/4. You'll be interested to know that as of just recently, JOTD has started working on Ghost's'n Goblins for the Commodore Amiga as an AGA edition. Although he does state "This will be a AGA-only project I think. The original OCS version by Elite is already very good. Not sure it can be improved (apart from the reuse of the original code)"

Here's the latest from JOTD. "A bit early to talk about this project or is it? Skyzoo73(link) did an awesome job with the first level in Scorpion, but after confirming with him again, this isn't going to go further. I asked him if he blessed the fact that I continue the work (from scratch) and he was ok. I also joined IM76 who provided me with the tunes he made for the first level & others. Pretty awesome job too. Graphically, the status isn't too impressive butgame is fully transcodedgame boots and shows title screen The amiga version will kick ass. I'm going to try new things like interrupt-based blitting and corkscrew scrolling, due for a while. If that works, I'll retrofit all my other games I could quit my job and I still wouldn't have the time for all this.UPDATE : In regards to the latest videos shown above, JOTD was quoted as saying, "I fixed that damn scrolling. Now all levels are playable. There are a few graphical bugs to iron out, a few gfx enhancements to do, a trajectory issue for the small goblin, also music for last level isn't ready yet. Apart from that it's so great i cannot believe it. Another vid where everything works (level 3). Note the awesome music that IM76 just created for this port."
And that's all we know so far, but as soon as we know more this article will be updated with the latest news!
