new review published today..... arcade conversions to cpc.   And yes as someone has already pointed out PANG maybe shouldnt be there as its a CPC+ / GX4000 game.....  and that Arkanoid 2 should be in there.  im not disagreeing its their opinion and fair enough too....

so here it is my top 10 arcade conversions to  AMSTRAD CPC


Top 10 Amstrad CPC Arcade Conversions - Retro Gaming Magazine | Retro Gaming

That's a great Top 10! Actually I do agree with most of them, but Shinobi? This one surprised me.

[MacDeath]

I was more surprised by Space harrier ... to me the transparency kills it... but a rare mix of procedural/vector graphics and bitmap and other sort of effects... still...

Shinobi's only fault is the graphics : they are ported  like automatically, with close to too few re-pixeling from an artist, But may be acceptable or even good sometimes.
Otherwise the music is flawless and the gameplay as well... may slow down a bit but really for once, it is not too bad and very pleasure full to try to kill everything with feet/sabre...

[TFM]

Well, it's a speccy port, scrolls totally jerky 2-Bytes wise. With few tricks it could have been a good game.


One of the candidates for a rewrite ;-)
