Wasn't this already done ? I'm pretty sure mockups were already had... :laugh: 


I even guess someone like "Dom Cesar CGNsoft" even did full tileset or spritesheets..


Also please, don't aim at mode0 128x192 (= fucking speccy-sized screen)... Nope !!!




Aim more at 128x256 at least... or even 320x256... or even 192x256xmode0 mega fullscreen of death and awesomness...
I mean, this game doesn't really need scrollings** so let's go for a nice real CPC6128 game.

** well, perhaps some...



PCengine and arcade versions were "256x224" which is clearly reachable as a 128x224xmode0 by CPC as well and a good compromise.
So please don't get the ST version as basis but the real arcade... CPC is far from being limited to vertical 200 or 192 pixels... far far far...


Just fucking remember Arkanoid or donkey Kong !!!



So many other Arcade ports were screwed up both with speccyport and far too little sized screen...

I was always under the impression that PARASOL STARS was never released as an arcade cabinet (unless you consider the PCE as an arcade console), I thought it was a "straight to home computers" title. Maybe I'm wrong.

Anyway, the original PS discussion thread by CNGSoft - Parasol Star Remake ? (PS4CPC) (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/games/parasol-star-remake-%28ps4cpc%29/)

As far as I know, there is no official arcade version of Parasol Stars.  It could be possible that the PCE version was hacked to run on a PCE-based arcade system or similar, but finding one seems to be rather hard.
