Its rock hard, in fact so hard that I gave up after a couple of hours play and haven't returned. The furthest I got was level 2. Shame as it looks great, very fluid just too hard, maybe if someone posts some good tips I'll give it another go.

Surely that's just another subjective view rather than expert testimony

🤦‍♂️ lol don't see these often in the uk

Lol I should have read that before I posted. Lucky Strike looks fabulous btw, really looking forward to getting this. Also not Outrun is another homebrew I'm excited about

I'm referring to Custodian being a commercially developed game which has been ported, I know the ports only a couple of years old but the game itself was developed in 1989 by a commercial software house. As for Homebrew Rebooteroids is better than about 80% of the jag library, Downfall + is close to this proportion too.

Why do you want to see games ported to a system you don't even own, seems a bit random? For me I'd also prefer to see original content. Theres some real quality homebrew games being made for the jag which are far superior to some of the 30 year commercial games being ported. Take Custodian as an example I bought it and it's a total shocker. Just my opinion but I totally wasted my money I should have copied it on to a 10p floppy and tried it out first. My bad. I bought Defender of the Crown and Speedball 2, both of which are great games but after playing them and comparing them to the Amiga and CDTV versions I've got they are definitely (imho) inferior. In these cases though as my jag is by my TV and the computers are upstairs speedball will at least get some play when me and my mates have had a few brews.

For me the effort is totally worth it. The game has so much atmosphere and I just love the survival aspect of running round with limited ammo, desperately hanging on. Never tried cheat mode, I can't really see the point.

The video looks alright, the difficulty level looks quite high though

What happened to the devs then?

I agree, personally it one of favourite Jag games, I always seem to come back to it while a lot of the titles rarely find their way back into the cartridge slot. Some music would definitely liven it up.

Mad bodies, is that likely to see another run?

That is some stylish packaging Al!

So some plain shells available lets hope another run sees the light of day!

I'm going to have to revisit this, its a nice fun platformer, I got quite far in but not quite to the end

Did you get any further with this, it's an awesome looking project?
