thanks ervin :)
Your review has made me want to revisit the game!
Thanks for the nice read :) The score seems a tad exaggerated but oh well!
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 (http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2015/01/31/top-10-amstrad-cpc-arcade-conversions-awesomeness-cant-confined-goto-14/)
That's a great Top 10! Actually I do agree with most of them, but Shinobi? This one surprised me.
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...
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 ;-)
