A Street Fighter project by msmalik681 gets another Amiga teased [UPDATE]

The Scorpion Engine is one of the best development tools for the Amiga, as not only can you create some pretty decent looking games, but unlike other software creation tools such as BackBone they don't run at a snails pace on anything but a power house of an Amiga. Thankfully one such creator shows what could be possible, is msmalik681's upcoming Street Fighter. A game which originally appeared on the Arcades, and was then ported to pretty much every system you could think of, including such systems as the Amiga (poorly), Atari St and even the ZX Spectrum.

Here's another great classic that wasn't just a movie, it had a game too! And that game, just like the movie was called The Goonies.

Retro gamers rejoice, as Henhouse Harry is officially back in Chuckie Egg 3 by Landford Productions!

Command & Conquer - Westwood's hit strategy game is coming to the Atari ST, and it's impressive! [UPDATE]

Well this is incredible news ( As if we've not had enough already :p ), as indyjo is officially bringing the classic real-time strategy game Command & Conquer to the Atari ST home computer. This ambitious project is currently a work-in-progress port of Westwood Studios’ legendary 1995 title, adapting the complex strategic gameplay to a 16bit machine that first debuted in the 1980's. The true marvel of this port lies in its technical adaptation. While the original MS-DOS version relied on 256-colour VGA displays, the Atari ST hardware restricts the visuals to just 16 colours. To bridge this gap, the developer has heavily focused on precision colour reduction, translating the detailed military units and terrains into a vibrant, limited-palette art style. For retro enthusiasts and fans of 16-colour pixel aesthetics, this port promises a unique way to experience a PC gaming masterpiece.

Commando - 1980's military shooter by Capcom is getting an Amiga AGA edition via JOTD [UPDATE]

The legend that is JOTD, who has done many conversions such as Double Dragon, Ghosts'n Goblins, and Xevious, is bringing Capcom’s classic vertical shooter Commando to the Amiga as an enhanced AGA edition. The upcoming conversion leverages the Advanced Graphics Architecture of the Amiga 1200 and 4000, hopefully bringing an arcade-faithful experience that aims to surpass previous home ports. While Elite Systems originally released a well-received ECS/OCS port for the platform back in 1989. JOTD has acknowledged that the classic Elite version remains a quality conversion, noting that the architecture of the game wasn't overly complex to adapt, making an upgraded, arcade-accurate AGA version an enticing challenge he couldn't pass up.
