I've just found out via the Amiga community, that after finishing his Arcade to Amiga conversion of a 1981 game called 'Lock n Chase' by Data East, he's now released a near final AGA and ECS Amiga version of Technōs Japan volley ball game called ''U.S. Championship V'Ball'. A 1988 beach volleyball sports game that was released for the arcades by Technōs Japan Corporation and later ports to the NES and X68000. To coincide with this news, provided below is the latest gameplay video.
If you've never played the game before, here's what the wikipedia page says about US Championship V'ball. "The player takes control of a pair of self-described beach bums named George and Michael who make their living playing beach volleyball against locals. One day, they find a flyer for a nationwide beach volleyball tournament offering the winning team a $2,500,000 cash prize. In single-player mode, one person controls both characters on a team. In two-player mode, the players either cooperate by playing on the same team or compete against each other by controlling opposing teams".
Features:
- - 25 FPS for ECS and AGA amigas
- - 3 versions: ECS, AGA 64 colors, and AGA 128 colors.
Note:
- You need a hard drive, whdload and some fast memory to run this game.
Credits:
- - jotd: reverse-engineering, 68000 transcode, graphics conversion, sound conversion for the Amiga.
- - no9 (soon): music

Thank you for making the ECS version. Goes to show that not every arcade conversion has to be AGA only!
