    Hello people.

     

    I have a complete map of LAST NINJA I and I was surprised to see that some screens did not come in the final version of the game.

     

    What I want is that you could sen me all magazines annoucements you have or find.

     

    And, why the reason? It's because on Computer & Video Games on July 1987 you see the magazine's presentation of the game with many screens (it seems from c64). But, on the left side, the first picture (you only see a part of it), one of that unreleased srcreens - a room with an enormous Buda on the wall. This all is with 3 blue colours (I think), and this remmember the ATARI8Bit (I think the C64 don't have this type of blues). And more: all the screens, even the ones from the final version in status/army/energy area the leters from c64 are identical, but this is the only screen the letters are difernt (something in a chinese/oriental way). I see all the computer versions, even a non released Konis Multisystem by System3, but none of then had this kind of letters.

     

    The Spectrum version only exixts, I think in sort of a Demo, as I read. But in one of that eighties sinclair magazines you saw a System3 advert with 1 or 2 screens (it says: "Actual Spectrum screensshots).

     

    What I think it´s that something for the ATARI XL/XE really exists.

     

    The story behind LAST NINJA was so complex, that I think that who knows all don't want to tell.

    (The rumours about the idea of it came from an Hungary company called ANDROMEDA SOFTWARE, I think, and that SYSTEM3 ripped it) and even a declaration of an Hungarian who was behind the matematics for the sprites movement, that was shocked when he saw the awfull movement done on the final work by SYSTEM3.

    The rumours is that all the time of LAST NINJA to came out was due to law problems, and that Hungarian didn't had the financial strenght to show their legitimal rights.

     

    This month on magazine Retrogamer, on the shops at 23 May, you will see an interview with with John Twiddy, What they call the man behind LAST NINJA. I intended to send some of this questions to the magazine, in a hope that they put them to him, but now it´s too late.

     

     

    So, the things I want you to Help me, it´s to discover more of this secrets, find more people behind the project or even E-mails to contact them.

     

    To prove my idea of that screen, does someone have that 2pages from C&VG from July 1987 that

    can show us.

     

    You can also send me an E-Mail to: [email protected]

     

     

     

    And that's all folks.

     

     

    Thanks.

    Hello again.

     

    What's the tecnic behind more than 2 multicoloured sprites?

    (in games like Mirax Force(on the inlay game card it says: "7 sprites at once), Guardian, Humanoid,...).

    In Mirax Force Force and Guardian all sprites are from 3 diferent colours each.

     

    I know that you can have 2multicoloured sprites on the same line, but i think in this cases you have more.)

     

    In Humanoid, for example, you have your ship (because of the wide it's 2 multicoloured sprites)and then all the others.

    Another thing: the enemys have the same colours as the players ship (Why?). Will this because it uses the same colour

    registers as your ship (and the same sprite?)

     

     

    Another thing.

    If I have a screen done with G2F, is it possible to do 2 multicolour sprites to use abose the screen (for a game, 1 for the

    enemy and the other for our player)?

     

     

     

    A last thing.

    Anymore programs that i can import screens from maps or other computers and then build Atari8bit screens with more colours

    on each line (like SIFE), but not with artifacting.

     

    Many thanks for your help.

    Best regards.

    José Pereira.

    :( What happened to this 2tittles?

    I also saw information about Word Class Leaderboard. It's still in development? If so, who is the responsible? Any screens?

    Out Run: Anyone begining the conversion?

    Other games around there?

     

    Many, many questions... Who has the answers?

     

    Thanks!...
