Can't be any worse than the Commodore 64 version.

Horrid.

the poor C64 was far more capable than whoever ported the game to it =\

i guess the most difficult part will be implementing/realizing the whole game flow/game play etc., so that it really does replicate the arcade the most faithful way possible.

That's the easy part.  The hard part is writing the game engine in general. (The scrolling, tiling, enemies, and all of that shit).

basically what I ment (sry), since the engine is primarily responsible for all the later game flow/flawness as well replication of the game play eyc.

or is there some very simple trickery of adopting/immigrating the original arcade game code to the pce?

No.   If it were simple, it would be done already.

that's sad

I'm not sure how well a 68000-to-65C02 conversion would go.

Not really.

and, the C64 version didn't turn out too bad all in all.

I was going to say - judging by the videos on YouTube it looks kind of impressive for the time.

Edit - also it still blows my mind that there's a Wonderswan version, haha.

Put a donation page and I guarantee your wish will come true. Well close enough at least.

Such a thing feels wrong to me for some reason... I'm not quite sure why.

I don't know much about programming. It's too bad you can't just take the original pc engine game and update the character sprites and backgrounds.

I never realized how bad the PC Engine CD port was untill seeing the pics , I remember how bad it was letterboxed.  I forgave it due to the cool looking cut scenes, then the gameplay was unaccpetable

Would be a waste of time to try, really. The gameplay is broken, and the sound is broken too. There is nothing salvageable in the original PCE game... the whole thing needs to be tossed and started anew, so that's what I did.

[Tatsujin]

so that's what I did.

I thought, that's what your doing?

or can I buy it already?
