| |
| |
| I was able to add this little selector on the title screen |
| so the player can choose the soundtrack between OG Arcade |
| or the one based on the NES version. |
| It's straightforward (joystick down, joystick up, fire button |
| to select and start game) and so it's much better than having |
| two releases. It should have an options page where this will |
| fit better, but it's so low in ChipRAM that it was a nice |
| surprise that we were able to fit both soundtracks into |
| one release. |
| |
| |
| |
| MAY 2022 UPDATE |
| |
| In Green Beret, a player could stall forever the gameplay, |
| such as staying on top of the first truck in level 1. |
| So the original designers added a "timeout jet" that appears |
| and kills players instantly when they're wasting time. |
| |
| |
| |
| Added it in Amiga's port: |
| |
| |
| Other fixes: |
| |
| - blue soldiers only fire one shot, some even retreat after |
| this shot. This is following feedback pointing out that |
| some soldiers were firing repeatedly until they succeed |
| in hitting the player. Limiting them to one shot |
| makes the game's difficulty level way more manageable. |
| |
| - cleaned some pixel artifacts in the title screen's background. |
| |
| |
| |
| **WARNING:** *THIS GAME IS REMEMBERED TO BE NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT* |
| |
| Green Beret, also known as Rush'N Attack, is a Konami game |
| released in 1985 (same year of the Amiga) on the arcades |
| and later ported to several home systems. |
| |
| But it was never released for the Amiga back then. Until now! |
| |
| A dream come true, as a long time Amiga user, |
| to finally be able to release a game on the system. |
| |
| Featuring: |
| |
| - the 4 unique stages from the original |
| (Missile Base, Harbor, Bridge and Prison Camp), |
| with the respective end of level bosses and cut scenes |
| (it's the complete original, also they're the same |
| levels as the classic home computer versions such as |
| C64 and ZX Spectrum) |
| |
| - all the major enemies (foot soldier, armed blue enemy, |
| jumping guy, mortar-equipped enemy, crawling soldier, |
| paratroopers etc) |
| |
| - the 3 secondary weapons of the arcade (flamethrower, |
| bazooka/rocket launcher and grenades) as well as the |
| main knife |
| |
| - can be played even with 1-button controller |
| (press and hold to shoot secondary), 2 buttons |
| gamepads (button 2 jumps) or CD32 gamepad |
| (button green shoots secondary) |
| |
| - wonderfully rearranged (by DJ Metune) NES Rush'N Attack |
| soundtrack instead of the simple military march of |
| the arcade, as the Amiga's Paula sound chip can offer |
| so much more (further tracks will be added through |
| ongoing updates) |
| |
| - Also, hitbox adjusts, the truck at the end of level 1 |
| waits around 2 seconds to start deploying soldiers |
| (so you have time to get some distance) and so on. |
| |
| - And finally, the version below has Infinite Ammunition |
| when you have special weapon available, so you can |
| finish the game more easily:Also, hitbox adjusts, |
| the truck at the end of level 1 waits around 2 seconds |
| to start deploying soldiers (so you have time to get |
| some distance) and so on. |
