Street Fighter II - An overhauled version of a classic fighting game for the Amiga via AI and Str1der

I'm sure many of you remember the Street Fighter games, more especially Street Fighter 2; 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, Atari St and even the ZX Spectrum.  Well fast forward to today however, and a developer by the name of Str1der with the help of AI, has released an improved version of Street Fighter 2 for the AMIGA to bring it more in line with the Arcades and better than the original US Gold port released in the 90s.

Black Tiger - Capcom's brilliant 1987 platformer ported to the Sega Mega Drive and Amiga!

Str1der has announced that his ambitious conversion of Capcom’s classic arcade hit, Black Tiger, targeting the Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 has been released. Rather than building from scratch, this release is a direct port of the latest Sega Mega Drive/Genesis conversion project hosted on GitHub by Rester159. While Str1der utilized AI tools to significantly accelerate the initial coding and development phase, they emphasized that the transition has been far from automated. Bringing the game to the Amiga has required extensive manual labor, including endless hours of rigorous testing and adapting months of previous foundation work built for their proprietary Shinobi engine.

Shinobi - A proof of concept for the Amiga, as the original version was graphically terrible! [UPDATE]

Thanks to @PixelCNinja and Saberman, I’ve learned that Str1der has shown a work-in-progress proof of concept for Shinobi (1989) on the Commodore Amiga 500. While the project began when the developer experimented with recolouring visual assets from the Sega Master System version , he found the updated aesthetic was so compelling that it inspired him to work on this version of Shinobi. Currently, Joe Musashi's movements and an expansive 8-way scrolling map function seamlessly, demonstrating the stock A500 hardware's impressive ability to process a fast-paced action environment.
