PeterG Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hey I just stumbled unto this video on youtube and never saw it mentioned before, thought you might find it interesting too. I did a search on the forum and a mention by Piko pops up in one thread so I guess it will be released by them? There seems to be something wrong with the sound and the speed but it looks nice otherwise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagChris Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yeah I'll buy it when it comes out. I don't know if it's the same guy who did the NES version but I thought in some ways it looked nicer than the ST version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sargon Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I backed the Kickstarter for the NES version. I received it last week, but haven't tried it yet. I had no idea they were working on it for Jaguar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagChris Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I need to pick up the NES version. For some reason I find it um... charming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agradeneu Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Looks like an improved SNES version. Quite nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also excited for the NES version, since it looks pretty neat for the console (P.S.: Holy hell! So the programmer of the PC Engine port of Jim Power came back? That's rad ) Edited April 9, 2021 by KidGameR186496 Additional comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I love Jim Power, but the pixel art is real strange in this version. Check any 16 bits version, whether console or Amiga or even the PC DOS version, art is much nicer imo, more colourful and harmony. This one looks like a reinterpretation by Dali. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I've never played the original game, but it looks like there's also something wrong with the parallax scrolling. Objects on a slowly-scrolling plane shouldn't appear in front of objects in a faster-scrolling plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 That was a programming mistake, and I hope that the Jaguar port fixes that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagChris Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The art is from the Genesis version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 So my initial comment on the art was a bit rough, and I apologize for that. I'm a big fan of Jim Power, have a lot of respect for the programmer (R.I.P) so I overreacted a bit. Now I still think than the jag deserves something that looks better than what was shown. The console can do true color so why not basing the Jaguar version on the PC DOS version. At least it would be 256 colors. And the sea would look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
