- never having used more than an Amiga joystick back then
- still not having an Amiga and not planning to hunt for one
- having used very little Amiga emulation because finding kickstart ROMs again is a pain.
Why so ? Because Amiga was the pinnacle of the crazindies era of game development in the 90's that bred titles from Alfred Chicken to Zool. Video games magazines that weren't PC-only were covered of screenshots of appealing games that were readily available on Amiga and might have a decent PC port in a hopefully not-so-distant future.
Because even 30 years later, I'm still amazed by the technology of the copper + blitter much more than I am by pixel shaders.
And because there was so much talented pixel artists in studios like the Bitmap Brothers!
Will there be Bilou on Amiga ? Well, with at most 32 colors plus extras, it isn't exactly the dream machine to do it. And there doesn't seem to be a wide amiga users base among Bilou followers either
and it looks like not many of my followers ever owned/have used an Amiga
ReplyDeletewhile dual playfield do exists, it is not the only way to go. PowerGlove reloaded had 1 playfield with 32 colors, blob updates to move characters and shots around while hardware sprites use copper to create a parallax layer.
