POW - SNK's arcade beat em up is coming to the Amiga as an AGA edition

ESKAY has announced that he is working on a new project: a native conversion of the classic arcade brawler P.O.W. (Prisoners of War) by SNK. Driven by a childhood love for the game—having owned the original arcade JAMMA board as a teenager—and inspired by prominent scene figures like Hoffman, ESKAY has partially brought the game's first level to life on the Amiga 1200. Leveraging 25 years of professional coding experience alongside cutting-edge AI tools like Claude Code and Codex, the developer meticulously converted the arcade ROM machine code into clean C language. To pull this off, custom scripts extracted map data and sprite behaviours directly from the MAME emulator, while an AI-assisted debugging pipeline continuously cross-referenced the new C code parameters against the original arcade state to ensure absolute accuracy.
