If you played ' Ghosts'n Goblins ' the first game in the Ghosts 'n Goblins franchise on systems such as the Amstrad, Amiga, Atari, C64 and ZX Spectrum, or the more recent arcade overhaul that was released for the Plus/4. You'll be interested to know that as of just recently, JOTD has finally released the eagerly awaited Ghosts'n Goblins AGA for the Commodore Amiga. An enhanced version for the Amiga 1200 and above bringing it more in line with the Arcade classic.

ReplyDeleteHallo again JOTD!...another great AMIGA work...congratulations!...but...please reply me...can you create an AMIGA porting of MIKIE?
DeleteI'm loving it when it works, but it's VERY VERY crashy on Amiberry, I don't think I've ever got to start my second life without the Red And White Texty Screen Of Death :(
ReplyDeleteI think your emulation is at fault. Winuae is good for CD32 emulation but other are maybe a bit late. It works on a real machine, I tested it myself.
DeleteThanx JOTD , this is 100 % perfect Work.
ReplyDeleteany chance we can get an adf of this? i hate burning cue files and setting up WHDload stuff.
ReplyDeleteI read this on EAB "ADF would be possible, but there's no room for the in-game music without fast memory so that's a lot of work for people with fast memory and no hard drive."
DeleteYou need to burn the .cue file only if you have a CD32 console. Else it's useless. ADF would take at least 2 or 3 floppies. I told myself that anyone with fastmem (which that game requires unless you don't want the music or you're running the CD32 CDDA version) wouldn't object using whdload. For that game, 1) install whdload in C:, 2) unpack the archive 3) click on the icon.
Delete"ALL RIGHT RESEVED" instead of "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED"
ReplyDeleteTwo typos in the arcade game that could be fixed. ^^
Great work JOTD as usual. Big thank you.
ReplyDeleteNice, but unfortunately unusable for a lot of AmigaOS users. Can we please get an RTG version..?
ReplyDeleteHopefully with continued development, we'll soon have this :) https://www.indieretronews.com/2026/09/rgb2rtg-v05-redirect-your-amiga-rgb.html
DeleteI don't have a graphical board, that would require a lot of work to convert render, and since I don't think RTG can do hardware scrolling (specially X fine scroll) that would mean that everything would have to be redrawn each time, which would kill the performance.
