I played CarVup alot when I was a child. If memory serves me right, press 'M' to play music. Also, if you press up and jump, you do a high jump, down and jump for low jump and left or right with jump to do a long jump!. If you take too long to complete a level, Turbo comes after you! If you leave one bit untouched, E X T R or A comes down. If you do this over 5 levels and collect them all, you gain an extra life!

A really interesting video.👍 I'd say the second port of Double Dragon is easily the best, despite the slightly washed out colours. The first version was so slow... it felt like walking through a river of molasses.😮 It's a shame they couldn't simply improve the colour scheme in the first version of Paperboy, as it's definitely the better version in many ways. The second version is very lacking when it comes to content but at least the graphics show off the Amstrad hardware.

regarding converting arcade games to other systems, there are so many reasons. From a coding perspective it's really a fun challenge to try and do something better than it has been done before. It's a way to push the limits of the machine with a series of clear goals, and something that others can relate to because they are already familiar with the game in question. I often compare it to songs that you love - why bother learning to play them on the piano or guitar when you can listen to the originals? because it gives you a deeper understanding of the mechanics. I think nostalgia plays a part too, because a lot of people play vintage games through the eyes of their teenage selves, and so when they play these conversions they imagine how they would have felt seeing it at the time. Sometimes it also rights the wrongs of the past, when you bought an arcade conversion and it was terrible, and so people often say 'finally after all these years we have a good version on our favourite machine'.

I have zero friends in the town I live in, they're all just over an hour away in another city where I skate. As a real people person, it's a struggle. Can a robot/AI etc. replace human empathy, I am very skeptical. But I'm someone who likes to be around people and I'm a hugger when it comes to saying bye to friends, and I live in a country where that's a social no-no.

"the game that makes people the maddest" - you got that right. This conversion is an absolute travesty. I'm well aware this comparison has been done to death but, to see what the Amiga can actually do when it comes to arcade racing, you have to look at a game like Lotus Turbo 2, or even Jaguar XJ220 (although this one honestly doesn't hold up nearly as well as Lotus). It's worth remembering the Amiga got a really good Super Hang On conversion as well. Clearly the A500 was never going to be able to replicate the incredibly colourful super-scalar graphics of the arcade original OutRun, but what games like Lotus and Hang On do is show that it could have replicated the feel, the smooth sense of speed, the playability. 30-odd years later and I still get triggered every time I see this crappy version of OutRun. Oh, and they even effed up the rhythm in Magical Sound Shower and made it sound absolutely terrible. Whoever worked on this conversion, there aren't enough feet in the world to kick them in the balls with. By the way, I've never run across this channel before, but I like you two and the format of this video. I thought I couldn't be entertained by another video about the Amiga's terrible OutRun conversion, but I was wrong, and I wonder if I'll ever get tired of people justifiably wailing on it.

This is probably the most infamous amongst all the ST ports that plagued the Amiga in the early[87-89] days of the machine. The Amiga version of Out Run could, without doubt, have had brighter colours, more details, and much smoother gameplay. No one would have expected a perfect port, but a skilled developer could have at least delivered something reasonably authentic. Just look at the excellent PC Engine/TurboGrafx & Mega Drive/Genesis ports that give you a strong feeling of having the arcade game in your home. Probe Software really let down Amiga owners with a cynical ST port that was nothing more than a cash grab.🤬

Audio is better than ever now. :) There is no reason the Amiga couldn't have had a half descent port, especially as the C64 had a great version, and even the ZX is not bad, just slow. The Amiga stutters like the ZX version, and has no feel of the original layout, no original looking graphics, and not even the right colours. U.S. Gold spent about a day converting the NTSC version, and Sega spent about a week making this port. Rumour has it, they deliberately made the computer ports of Afterburner and Out Run look bad, so as to increase sales on the SMS and SMD versions - which makes sense. Saying this feels like a Blitz Basic game is an insult to Blitz, as I've seen smoother gameplay from Blitz demos. I would say this is very much like what I could make with CanDo. But at least I would use assets from the original game, and not just the title screen. We have 2 versions of Out Run AGA now on the new releases thread on Lemon, but to be honest, I'm done with the game. I would rather they ported any other game than Out Run at this point. The Amiga could do Astron Belt and laser disc games, so why waste time on this? It's not Sega Rally Championship.

But this might just be due to the fact that it wasnt programmed by capcom themselves. According to the conversation on the board the two player option was there in the original launch of Final fight but it wasnt implemented. It was rushed out and they had no experience with the hardwre, so im guessing it wasnt finished in time. thats the confusing thing about final fight guy? they did have experience at that point. maybe porting final fight is harder than "made for snes only" brawlers like final fight 2 and rival turf. Who knows? On another note. If you havent seen it already. The quest to make the perfect Amiga final fight continues. Look up the name Jonny Severn. Hes working on someting called Super Final Fight. Hes improved on the stock amiga final fight graphics alot using some clever palette and copper tricks. It looks amazing. Hes not a programmer (as far as i know) but if final fight Enhanced is open source, then may be it would be possible for him to suplant his gfx into the enhanced engine. :)

Ah Toki, a game I actually liked quite a bit in the arcades so I was over the moon it came home on the amiga. And while I think the pang convention is better, Toki must rate in the top 10 amiga conversions. It’s tough and a bit of a memory game but the levels are short enough to get through. One of the few games I managed to finish without a trainer. The main negative for me is the small screen size, on a real amiga the window size is very small. I think this is due to the lush Parallax backgrounds that use colour cycling e.g the ice background DOES shimmer. Other downsides are the lower frame rate and a few missing enemy’s but at least they managed sound effects and music. 8/10

It's the stunning Amiga port that made me love Toki back in the day. It may not have been something extra special in the world of arcades, but as an Amiga game it felt really impressive. As you say... it's a great showcase for the Amiga hardware that really highlights how capable it is in the right hands. When it comes to Toki's design, I'd say it feels similar to the Bonk/PC Kid games. You have the same detailed, colourful and wacky design that was really popular back then. However Ocean France managed to deliver such authentic arcade ports to the Amiga... you have to applaud their development skills. 👍

Ash become a God, the Kandaria dagger is the most powerful weapon, Ash should not be forgotten by the new current franchises, Nocimonorcen is the strange version of Necronomicon Poker Night 2, Jack from Madworld Wii Chainsaw Hand Reference, Ash having the brainsaw of from Nerf and Chainsword, the heroes of Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney somehow showing off their happiness, Ghost Rider 2099 has a chainsaw hand reference, Ash go to Dead or Alive xtreme island have fun, relax and comfort, some monsters and mecha Power Rangers have a chainsaw reference On the other hand, Ash has Sailor Saturn's scythe, Evil Dead Regeneration have a remake and sequel, it is unfair that Ash is not included in Mortal Kombat, heroes are not born, they are made, Ashley K Williams female version of another dimension to have more comics / stories,,. Ash from 1987 and 1992 is supposed to be the 1981, the deadites are not zombies, they are not vampires either, vampires are stronger than zombies, there must be angels, aliens, fairies, goblins, elves gnomes and pegasus in evil dead too, the book is not so bad the bad thing is user in the wrong hands, bosses and soundtracks of resident evil, house of the dead, deep fear, osbcure, cold fear, parasite eve, silent hill and dino crisis be property of evil dead
"the game that makes people the maddest" - you got that right. This conversion is an absolute travesty. I'm well aware this comparison has been done to death but, to see what the Amiga can actually do when it comes to arcade racing, you have to look at a game like Lotus Turbo 2, or even Jaguar XJ220 (although this one honestly doesn't hold up nearly as well as Lotus). It's worth remembering the Amiga got a really good Super Hang On conversion as well. Clearly the A500 was never going to be able to replicate the incredibly colourful super-scalar graphics of the arcade original OutRun, but what games like Lotus and Hang On do is show that it could have replicated the feel, the smooth sense of speed, the playability. 30-odd years later and I still get triggered every time I see this crappy version of OutRun. Oh, and they even effed up the rhythm in Magical Sound Shower and made it sound absolutely terrible. Whoever worked on this conversion, there aren't enough feet in the world to kick them in the balls with. By the way, I've never run across this channel before, but I like you two and the format of this video. I thought I couldn't be entertained by another video about the Amiga's terrible OutRun conversion, but I was wrong, and I wonder if I'll ever get tired of people justifiably wailing on it.
Thanks man. Welcome to the channel! We appreciate you checking us out!
Amiga version is rubbish.
You are not wrong!
I always wanted an Amiga, just couldn't afford one so I was stuck playing Outrun on my C64. No idea that I got, by far, the better end of the deal.
The price barrier was tough to get around. I only got an Amiga 1000 back in the day after it was 4 years old and used and the seller was desperate.
Aaron this is just so good - combo of some great Telltale retro game characters with your banter with Texas Hold Em (which I love and play constantly offline) really hit the spot for me. Thanks for the entertainment!!! Please do it again sometime. Enjoyed your casino stories, the vegas one, you poor bugger. Many moons ago I got hosed in a casino ... lost a couple of hundred bucks on blackjack hand after hand the dealer got face cards and I got a whole lotta nothing. Anyway, thanks again for the laughs.
Dang David, I appreciate that. I wasn't sure people would want to see a goof play cards for 2 hours, but I personally really enjoyed it. I'm going to plan a Friday Night Poker Club stream in the future with all the folks in the discord! Stay tuned!
I remember being so disappointed in this
...yeah...and the disappointment never fades with Amiga Outrun...it's hauntingly bad.
Haha it is Peter Griffin driving the car. Everything annoys me about this conversion but they can't even get the look of the car right and they have just designed their own Ferrari. Even the Ferrari in the 8bit Spectrum version is more faithful. They rushed the game out for the Christmas period knowing it would sell no matter how bad it was.
Ha...yeah, Boat nailed the description!
I believe that the arcade had an entire 68000 cpu to draw the road alone. Where there is no scenery the fps jumps up. I’d rather they have ditched the road side objects if it kept the frame rate higher.
I'm right there with you, Dunc. The framerate is the killer.
I think Chase H.Q. on the CPC464 might actually have this beat on framerate, it certainly does when it comes to things like route splitting and variable road widths. I wonder if a higher up demanded that this run at full screen over the protests of the programmer. Bad framerate is one thing, inconsistent is another, this has both.
You might be on to something Edward. I know one thing the higher-ups didn't demand...quality.
This port is so bad it caused the legendary Video Game Crash of 1983, even though that was 6 years previously, The game as so bad it sent ripples through time and caused the crash.
Whoa! So that's what did it! haha!
This is probably the most infamous amongst all the ST ports that plagued the Amiga in the early[87-89] days of the machine. The Amiga version of Out Run could, without doubt, have had brighter colours, more details, and much smoother gameplay. No one would have expected a perfect port, but a skilled developer could have at least delivered something reasonably authentic. Just look at the excellent PC Engine/TurboGrafx & Mega Drive/Genesis ports that give you a strong feeling of having the arcade game in your home. Probe Software really let down Amiga owners with a cynical ST port that was nothing more than a cash grab.🤬
It's sad too. Probe was actually capable of doing a pretty good job on Amiga ports...but not this time.
@@AmigosRetroGaming Yeah... Probe delivered much better arcade ports later on. Out Run was an early ST game that was later ported to the Amiga, so Probe had no intention of doing the Amiga justice. It was just a lazy cash in. 😞
There are two new Amiga versions in the make. One for accelerated machines (AGA, like an A4000 or A1200+turbocard) and a separate, highly optimized version for vanilla A1200.
I've been hearing about these sons of Outrun for years..i'm still waiting!
Audio is better than ever now. :) There is no reason the Amiga couldn't have had a half descent port, especially as the C64 had a great version, and even the ZX is not bad, just slow. The Amiga stutters like the ZX version, and has no feel of the original layout, no original looking graphics, and not even the right colours. U.S. Gold spent about a day converting the NTSC version, and Sega spent about a week making this port. Rumour has it, they deliberately made the computer ports of Afterburner and Out Run look bad, so as to increase sales on the SMS and SMD versions - which makes sense. Saying this feels like a Blitz Basic game is an insult to Blitz, as I've seen smoother gameplay from Blitz demos. I would say this is very much like what I could make with CanDo. But at least I would use assets from the original game, and not just the title screen. We have 2 versions of Out Run AGA now on the new releases thread on Lemon, but to be honest, I'm done with the game. I would rather they ported any other game than Out Run at this point. The Amiga could do Astron Belt and laser disc games, so why waste time on this? It's not Sega Rally Championship.
Man, Astron Belt...that blew me away the first time I saw it...haha! Funny you'd mention that.
We've got CannonBall on the Amiga now, so we can forget about the original Outrun version.
Well, when we get something that will run on a stock A500...THAT will be the KING DONG of racing games.
@AmigosRetroGaming Just play the 2nd level of Batman The Movie and be thankful the Amiga 500 wad able to show what it could do during its commercial lifetime. Metro Siege is coming. The A500 gets enough love but I don't think it'll ever support an arcade perfect version of Outrun.
@@bigd5090 They just need something that somewhat looks and plays like the arcade. It won't be perfect, but anything better than that atrocious version released on the Amiga.
Hello what was that intro music please
If you mean that bombastic music before the review, that's the ACTUAL music in the game!
Nice work lads. Audio levels of the vid are great now. As for the Amiga Outrun.... I used to play this a lot... it was the only racing game I had for ages 😅 Also, I think the "neck fat" is meant to be the seat headrest 🤣🤣🤣
I know we've hit the bottom when we're getting "neck fat" comments..haha.
@@AmigosRetroGaming well, even knowing they're headrests, now I'll never be able to look at them without thinking they're just fatties with haircuts their mum gave them 🤣
I love the 80s fantasy films
Oh yeah. They were killing it back in the 80's for fantasy adventure flicks!
I think the main reason for the ST port was that for a while it was the better selling system, so better to target that first and it so happens you can port the code to the initially also-ran Amiga, and still sell games, and save time - that was all that mattered. You could sell a game with screenshots on boxes.
Hey, if this game has ANYTHING, it's got ONE SCREEN that you can use on the box..haha.
I agree with you about modern movies. Blech.
Well, occasionally they still crank out a decent flick!
Double Dragon on the Amiga might also be considered the most disappointing release.
Yes, that's certainly on the list!
Yeah... Double Dragon is another horrific arcade port that in no way takes advantage of the Amiga hardware. Makes me feel sick thinking of how disappointed I was with it.🤢 And I only paid £5 for it from a bargain bin. 😕 It really was terrible how some publishers had no regard for quality in those days. Charging £25 for really shoddy arcade ports.🤬
Woohoo! It looks awesome, Aaron! Sorry to see that you almost lost a finger to the mystical Glaive! ;-)
Dude, it's awesome! Thanks so much!
Are we gonna see reports of a vigilante with a strange bladed boomerang style weapon, dressed only as what can be described as some kind of Manic miner? @@AmigosRetroGaming
@@VampireJack10 I have to laugh because as I clicked to read this I was holding THE GLAIVE and just marveling at it. So yes, you may hear those reports.
Thanks for the tutorial! Up-to-date news for out-of-date Macs 😊 Really enjoyed your episodes of TWiR with Neil!
Final fight guy was a japanese only release and didnt rectify anything. It was the same game that omitted cody It was still one player. For some reason they never got a handle on the two player option on the snes?
I always found that odd...we know the Snes can handle it!
@@AmigosRetroGaming i was watching the two player hack yesterday. and although it had two player; less enemies seemed to be on screen and there was a lot of flickering and slow down. But this might just be due to the fact that it wasnt programmed by capcom themselves. According to the conversation on the board the two player option was there in the original launch of Final fight but it wasnt implemented. It was rushed out and they had no experience with the hardwre, so im guessing it wasnt finished in time. thats the confusing thing about final fight guy? they did have experience at that point. maybe porting final fight is harder than "made for snes only" brawlers like final fight 2 and rival turf. Who knows? On another note. If you havent seen it already. The quest to make the perfect Amiga final fight continues. Look up the name Jonny Severn. Hes working on someting called Super Final Fight. Hes improved on the stock amiga final fight graphics alot using some clever palette and copper tricks. It looks amazing. Hes not a programmer (as far as i know) but if final fight Enhanced is open source, then may be it would be possible for him to suplant his gfx into the enhanced engine. :)
Bonjour bravo pour la video avez vous le jeu Monkey académie en version K7 ou sur Emulateur? Je suis a la recherche depuis des années de ce jeu en k7
Thanks Laurent! Let me see what version I have and I'll get back to you.
This was such an enjoyable interview. Stoo is a really interesting, likeable guy. Loved listening to his anecdotes and all the fascinating info about 16-bit gaming. He obviously had the time of his life working with the Sensible Software team. You did a great job, Boat👍
Why does no one ever bring up Crime Inc when discussing the development of GTA? DMA clearly plagiarised the game demo they were shown when he went for an interview at the company.
bram stokers dracula for sega/mega cd work is probably your best work. i still listen to that soundtrack and play that game today, thirty years later. the music NEVER gets old.
Ask a silly question can I download this to Amiga mini
I wish! Warblade is not the easiest thing to run. You can run it in modern windows, but it's a beast..and capturing from it...double tough.
@@AmigosRetroGamingcan you give me the link to download or anything to get this
I had to click on and give a like to this video for the title alone. Well done.
Thanks man!
I thought this was so awesome playing it on my Amiga 2000 back in the day. Felt like being in a 1950s scifi movie. Took me forever to figure out ya gotta shoot the ants antenna near the head!
Yup, i'm the same way. Loved those old flicks!
Always good to hear Mike talking about his favourite project - Lemmings! 😝
Can't wait for this! This game on the Amiga was the single most disappointing game I ever purchased.
Very weird. I just watched this in full. Now it’s not available for 5 days.
A Great interview. It is shocking that he can remember pixel counts and tech specs all these years later. I'm lucky if I remember what I'm going right now!
Ah Toki, a game I actually liked quite a bit in the arcades so I was over the moon it came home on the amiga. And while I think the pang convention is better, Toki must rate in the top 10 amiga conversions. It’s tough and a bit of a memory game but the levels are short enough to get through. One of the few games I managed to finish without a trainer. The main negative for me is the small screen size, on a real amiga the window size is very small. I think this is due to the lush Parallax backgrounds that use colour cycling e.g the ice background DOES shimmer. Other downsides are the lower frame rate and a few missing enemy’s but at least they managed sound effects and music. 8/10
It's the stunning Amiga port that made me love Toki back in the day. It may not have been something extra special in the world of arcades, but as an Amiga game it felt really impressive. As you say... it's a great showcase for the Amiga hardware that really highlights how capable it is in the right hands. When it comes to Toki's design, I'd say it feels similar to the Bonk/PC Kid games. You have the same detailed, colourful and wacky design that was really popular back then. However Ocean France managed to deliver such authentic arcade ports to the Amiga... you have to applaud their development skills. 👍
This was so bad I couldn’t justify the cost of a single floppy disk to pirate a copy.
Yeah..haha...I'm right there with you on that.
Lawrence Welk while born in America only spoke German into his 20s when he learned English. That is where his accent came from. It’s not so uncommon
Good stuff! i'd not heard that about him only speaking German...I read a TON of places it was a big mystery, so kudos to you!
@@AmigosRetroGaming while I would like to take credit, it was 1/2 down his wiki page haha.
