+Philsan Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thanks to ZeroPage Homebrew interview, Matt Smith @mksmith revealed that he's working on a conversion from C64 to Atari 7800 of Ghost's 'n Goblins (2015 version). Latest wip file (it is even possible to test it online) Awesome! Matt is working on the conversion of Night Knight from MSX too! Thank you very much! 45 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBrian Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Holy crap this is awesome. I caught a few minutes of Night Knight in action, which looks good but didnt know about G&G. Day one buy on both for sure!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 BRAVO!!! More games for Lil' Sexy, they both look great from what I see. I'll check them out later on on YouTube and see how they play, the opening graphs look promising!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden (JRH) Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 This looks absolutely incredible! Definitely better than what Micronics did for the NES conversion. I can't wait to see this get finished. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8th lutz Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) I've played the Nes version of Ghosts'n Goblins. What I seen last night, The 7800 looks like a great port. Night Knight is a must purchase for me based on the gameplay I've seen. Edited December 4, 2021 by 8th lutz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Big thanks goes out to Matt Smith @mksmith for coming on the ZeroPage Homebrew livestream last night and being such a great interview guest discussing his incredible upcoming games! Both the two secret games of Ghosts n' Goblins and Night Knight play amazingly and I can't wait for everyone to check them out once they're released! - James (WATCH AT 1080P60 FOR FULL QUALITY) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yell0w_lantern Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Sweet! Great looking ports and I hope the 7800 has many more to come! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Will the 7800 version of Ghosts 'n Goblins have the levels and bosses that Elite had to cut out the c64 port? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mksmith Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thanks again @ZeroPage Homebrew James and Tanya for having me yesterday - was really enjoyable couple of hours talking about everything. Thanks all! Once Petscii is done will get back into these. GnG will most likely be a long-term project due to the size and scope but will try building upon what I have done so far. It might be a little rework to clean up the current source for future expansion but well see how it goes. Here's the current build if you would like to give it a try! ghostsngoblins.a78 18 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will, believe me, otherwise I would not have bothered to invest the $$$ into both Lil' Sexy and the Concerto to go along with her. The Future IS NOW!!! I may be a 5200-first guy (as obvious by my posts in which some have taken liberties with my desire to have (almost) everything 8-bit converted for her), but indeed that's why I said if it ever came down financially to owning only 2 of my 4 units, the 5200 (Big Sexy) and the 7800 (Lil' Sexy) would be the two I'd keep. I'm currently on a hot date with Lil' Sexy tonight as I'm digging in to some of the ports that have been made for her, and these two, will also be on that list too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @SlidellMan. I would certainly look towards the 2015 arcade version which is a pretty complete update vs the original Elite release. Time will tell! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Food Fight, Commando, Joust, ANYTHING by Bob D. ...) @DrVenkman is right. That ALSO is why I invested the $$$ to add Lil' Sexy to my gaming lineup last year. ....oh and BTW, don't forget to get the Concerto to go along with it. It's CRUCIAL you have one so you can follow all of the WIP ports as well. Edited December 5, 2021 by BIGHMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGHMW Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hopefully Night Knight will be up soon, I've already downloaded G & G, but they say good things come to those who wait and I'll be waiting .....and you guys thought I was a 5200-only guy, I WAS up until a year ago when I found out about (the then WIP) Concerto that Fred Quimby was developing for Lil' Sexy, THAT, brought me to the 7800 scene.
