Gauntlet, Joust, Super Sprint are now out on Amiga, having been reverse engineered from the Atari ST versions. This is awesome.
But...can anyone get Super Sprint running? Giving me issues on my ECS A2000.
Cheers.

That's pretty darn cool. Are these three of many, or the first of many?
Wait, wasn't "Gauntlet" already available for Amiga?
-
As far as I remember only Gauntlet 2 and 3 were available for the Amiga. This is amazing -will try later.
-
Awesome, Gauntlet has always been the missing link. (Doesn't help that it states Atari games I suppose ;-)).
Will be giving it a go, is this an adf? If so a whdload version would be fantastic :-)
-
20 years too late! But nice anyway!
-
Yea -- orig Gauntlet was never on Amiga, thought it was planned and even advertised. The character sizes and other touches of Gauntlet on ST vs. Gauntlet II on Amiga have me dramatically preferring the ST Gauntlet. Nice to see this on the Amiga.
Wish I could get SSprint running tho.

All 3 work for me on A1200 with 50mhz card and 16meg. I played all these games on an ST before I got my first Amiga and particularly loved Super Sprint (should there be engine sounds?).
-
I was actually thinking to myself a little while ago what I might like to code on an Amiga if I ever set aside the time to do it. Joust is one of my favourite classic games and I didn't see a decent version of the Amiga being available. So I thought it would be a fun project to see how close to the original I could make an Amiga version. It seems like the hardware should be capable.
I have no idea what the Atari ST one is like off the top of my head, but I did watch a video with 14 different versions of Joust, and it was very interesting to see the variation in quality of the versions. The Genesis version appeared very close to the arcade, almost makes me think it was a port of the source. Other versions running on similar hardware looked and played nothing like Joust. Makes me kind of sad to think of how poor most arcade conversions were back then. It's probably a lot easier now with being able to run things in emulators and rip graphics and behaviours frame by frame.

w00t! Can't wait to try these when I get home!

Hmm. Super Sprint reports an error on my A2000 ECS in standard config (4 MB FAST) or in 68020 mode (with 2MB more 32-bit FAST).

Joust is one of my all time favorite games - thanks for posting this! Incredible what's going on with vintage computing these days. Kudos!
-
Nice! I think I spent more time playing Joust in the arcade (1980s of course) than anything else -- although Asteroids, Pole Position, and Tron were part time jobs too.

LOL, yeah, I spent way too much time in arcades in the early 80s too. Won $10 in quarters in the Joust high score contest. Took from the time the arcade opened until it closed to rack up the 9,999,975 points or whatever you could get that you had to stop at before the score would rollover (no pterodactyl cheat used). You had to plan this out carefully to get as high a score as possible without rolling over to make sure you won the contest ... a bit tricky since losing a life gets you 25 points and you don't even know how many you have. There was one other guy that could go forever too so it was quite the battle getting our scores over each other without wrapping. Geez, what a life ...

I must be really dumb, but where is the download link on this page?

I love the arcade Joust great game especially 2 players. Cant believe you went through all that to win a roll of quarters lulz

I got LZX files only. No bootable ADFs???
No HD on real Amigas or UAE so no go.

I wondered the same thing. Go to the author's website, it's a direct link to the archives.

same here, minimig 1.1 4mb 3.1 rom...
Gauntlet runs poorly at 7mhz but way to fast at 50mhz.

Sounds like ST software scrolling code there.

Why am I having trouble finding a download link?
EDIT: Look above post 18

Ah Joust, how I love you.
Back on the Atari 800XL I recall I was bored and played Joust on Novice. I ended up getting to level 250 and my friends kept asking me to go hang out with them, so I finally just turned the computer off and left.
It was so easy and endless on Novice. When I finally got a chance to really spend some time on the Arcade version, I realized how much more difficult it was.
Question is, which version is this really based upon? The Arcade version seems the most difficult (to suck down your quarters).
Joust 2 is a real pain.

Well it's a direct ST port, but if you can do better don't hesitate. Kamel

I was just going to say...
Play Joust II. :)

Thanks!

oops ignore this! didn't see the replies to the post I was answering!

If I could try it..... As my post before states I can't try it out.
Seeing as ST Gauntlet 1 pi$$es all over Amiga (and ST) Gauntlet 2 it was nothing more than an observation/explanation. Sound uses Paula for sample playback not 68k soft sample?
-
So stupid question... Is that abime site just informational, or can you download the games as well?
-
Informational mainly. But sometimes links to pages that allow downloads. Do some searches on the forum for the ADF format and how to move ADFs to and from your Amigas.
http://www.back2roots.org/ is the place for many ADFs. But most are cracks and not originals, if your a purist v a nostalgist.

Hmm.. Now that I think about it, I'm just being super anxious.. I have this huge 9DVD collection at home I had downloaded a while back that was supposed to have everything amiga on it... :)

Good advice... See you guys around!:pint:

Did anyone ever get Super Sprint working? I can't run it on my A2000 020 with 3.1.
I just tried Joust on my 512K CHIP 2MB FAST A1000 1.3 but it won't run - blips screen end back to command line, so I guess all of these need 3.1?

Answering my own question, I see Super Sprint requires AGA.

Thinking about this...I wonder why Super Spring needs AGA? The ST version of Super Sprint is great and runs fine on a base 520ST. (It may require 1MB RAM, but I seriously doubt it.)
