Shadow of the Beast on Neo Geo: inside the tree (beta 0.2.0)

Shadow of the Beast, the 1989 Amiga classic by Reflections and Psygnosis, ported to the SNK Neo Geo. The original 68000 game code runs on the Neo Geo: only the Amiga hardware layer was rewritten. This trailer shows the inside of the tree in public beta 0.2.0: the staircase, fireballs, ladders, falling drops and the goblins. Before 0.2.0, the goblins in the tree, the skeletons in the castle graveyard and other enemies were invisible: the game draws them straight into the scenery, and the port didn't pick them up yet. They are all on screen now. What's new in 0.2.0: Enemies drawn into the scenery are now shown everywhere in the game More sprites for enemies and objects, and the Neo Geo limit of 96 sprites per line is respected Scrolling story text no longer loses its first letters Intro and sprite colours updated during the vertical blank (no more dots on real hardware) Download (MAME, BackBit, NeoSD, DarkSoft): https://bendk97.itch.io/shadow-of-the... Captured in MAME with the UniBIOS 4.0. Feedback from real hardware is very welcome, in the comments or on itch.io. #NeoGeo #ShadowOfTheBeast #Amiga #Homebrew #RetroGaming #Psygnosis #MVS #AES
