David Alexander Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks! I still get giddy watching the multi-colored stars as they slowly move in the background. They feel just like a classic arcade game. For those who haven't checked it out, use draconian_20140405.bin from this blog entry. If you're using Stella be sure to follow the instructions, directly above the ROM, for turning on Phosphor Mode. Thanks for the Preview, bought Space Rocks so I will definitely buy a copy of the cart when it comes out. Take your time, when its ready its ready.

Flojomojo Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 On 8/11/2003 at 5:41 PM, Godzilla said: the early levels feature few stations spaced far apart, but on the later levels it is quite possible to have many stations on screen at once and enemy fighters too. there is an absolutely fabulous version of bosconian for the x68000 computer, the best version i've ever played. it had updated graphics and music, but they made the excellent decision to not change the game play at all 🙂 I know this is a necro post and that Bosconian has a nice homebrew port now, but I just discovered the Sharp x68000 port of this game and wanted to learn a little more about it, and your post is in the top few search results since it’s fairly obscure in the west. It is indeed an absolutely fabulous port of an old game and a great example of what can be done with old games on new hardware! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eyeball Mural Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 My question is whether we can get Draconian back in the store, if Namco will license it. I don't blame Atari's lawyers one bit for being prudent in matters like that. At the same time, I also love Draconian's interpretation of the original. I enjoy playing it almost as much as the real coin-op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
