Title: 1941 DX Dual Player 2.0 is coming to Amiga OS 4.x & MorphOS
Post by: SysAdmin on July 14, 2011, 06:30:10 PM

News from K-L via amigaworld.net

Hugues "HunoPPC" Nouvel has posted a video (http://vimeo.com/hunoppc) (you can grab the MP4 video thanks to ClipDown) of the forthcoming shoot'em up 1941 DX Dual Players v2.0.

Huno has added many new features in this new version such as a brand new SDL engine (and way faster : 55fps on Sam440, 75fps on a Peg II and 85fps on the Sam460), a two players mode (joypads or keyboard), the possibilty for the game to be updated automatically, and many more...

This is the reason why the game has become shareware but don't worry, it will cost you only 1,70€ to obtain the license key binded to your system. The 1st versions that will be available will be the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS ones followed by the AROS one.

Please note that the video is a bit jerky since Huno doesn't own a fast enough PC to encode the video but the game is really smooth.

If something isn't going to run on OS3.9 can you please state this in the title or the start of the announcement, to avoid wasting people's time?

The gameplay itself looks ok, but I really hope the game gets some new graphics, as it currently looks pretty bad.

Fantastic news for the new version and that Huno ask money for his money, it was already time for the people to begin charging for its work!

It looks quite fun though the graphics look rather dated.  The speed isn't too impressive when you consider a 7mhz A500 ran games like this at 50fps 20 years ago so being able to do the same on a 1000mhz machine isn't really bragging material.

I doubt this will ever even come close to playing Banshee on a real Amiga..

Oh i already enjoyed the old version included in Broadway : )
Nice! And what you call "dated" looks for me "retro" and like the arcade version of 1941 i liked very much.

But who knows maybe Banshee DX could come too : )
