Anytime, Anthony! Us Neo-Geo/SNK gamers stick together; it’s a brotherhood/sisterhood (I’m acknowledging the female Neo-Geo/SNK gamers out there, too!)

Metal Slug Awakening! Gameplay in 4K:

You and me both! I believe they go on sale next week?

Stormbringer will be among the Jaguar games I purchase in November. 👍🏻

I’m interested in owning a physical copy!

I’d be all over this if I didn’t own one already. It really is a great computer. Developers are making strides in updating their software to make it compatible with Apple’s new CPU. $1300 w/ a 1-yr Apple Care Plan is a steal. 👍🏻

This is excellent news! I have my credit card ready, so you can take my money! i would like to thank @CyranoJ for all the hard work he puts into these releases, and @Albert as well. It’s a great time to be a Jaguar fan!

Done! Thank you for responding.

I’ve decided to post some renders for the game, before I take off for the day. Be warned - some of the events/screens contain R-Rated content. I plan on doing both a regular ST version, followed up by an STE version. These images have not been formatted to the ST’s resolution or 16 color palette yet. In fact, they are closer to what the STE version will look like.

Thank you to everyone who responded to this thread. Development isn’t moving as fast as I had hoped, but progress is being made. I plan on releasing a full update soon, along with some in-game screenshots. I have decided to forgo pixel art for rendered imagery instead. The end result is a more realistic appearance to the game’s environments and characters. More as it develops.

Looks like I missed out on investing in this cool 2D fighter. Will you have copies for sale after Kickstarter orders are shipped?

Congrats on getting your CMVS working! Would you mind sharing what you did to fix the audio issue you were having?

Yikes! There’s no need to be hostile about it. Are you working on Nitrous as well?

Hi Al! Do you have a date set in November for the release of both games? I apologize for bumping this thread; I am just really excited about owning Gods and The Chaos Engine.

As strange as it sounds, start by cleaning the connector(s) on your MVS cartridges and the cartridge port to your consolized MVS. You wouldn’t believe the gunk that can build up on cartridge connectors and cartridge ports, even if you leave a cartridge plugged in for a very long time. If this doesn’t work, try replacing the 8-pin Scart cable. If the problem still persists, replace the power supply. Unstable voltage can cause all manner of functionality problems, even for the mighty Neo-Geo. I hope this helps.

Thanks for responding. It finally worked. I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro Max w/ Safari.

What has he released? I’m curious to know myself.

I’m interested, but my browser refuses to connect to the weblink you provided due to a certificate issue.

I dislike Trevor McFur. Someone stated earlier why the game sucks, so there’s no reason for me to reiterate. If you want to help people, please make Trevor McFur into a ‘fun’ competent shooter.

Thank you for responding. I do have software to develop my graphic adventure. But you caught my interest when you mentioned ‘Atari Game tools’. I was unaware of these tools existing and would appreciate your help in acquiring them. I will certainly take any help that is being offered. Thank you again!

Here is a link to Final Fight’s enemy AI.

I’m no expert, but as someone who plays Final Fight constantly, I can say the enemies do seem to move on a grid system. How do I come to this conclusion? When an enemy attacks the player, the other enemies never occupy that spot. If you notice, the enemies will wait for the space in front of the player to clear, or they will walk around the player to attack. Edit: Watch the first stage in the video below to see what I mean.

@Albert Please keep us posted on a possible second run. I want a copy, as I mentioned above! Thank you for offering this opportunity!

I’d buy a copy! I missed out on the first and only run of the game.

I found this rare gem at a local retro store (I didn’t pay much for it either):
