We’ve featured JOTD’s work in progress Supercars 2 AGA a number of times now, as every new update makes the game feel like it’s nearer to completion. Well today’s news isn’t that the game is finished, but the reason we are going to mention it again, is the fact the latest beta makes the game so much more enjoyable than any previous version released so far. Inclusive improvements include new car colours, a new soundtrack by saimon69, and as noticed in the video below or linked here, it’s performing so much better on lower spec’d Amigas!

As was said before : Way back in 2014 JOTD released the PC version of “Super Cars III” ; a game which was his own remake of the hit action racing classic “Super Cars II”. Originally developed by Magnetic Fields and published by Gremlin Graphics in the early 90’s for Amiga & Atari ST. Supercars 2 AGA however is a rebuilt & adapted to AGA ripped from Supercars International 1996. A game which in itself was a re-make of Super Cars II (tweaked gameplay, updated 256-color VGA graphics and a new soundtrack).

In April of this year we gave you the heads up of a brand new game coming to the Amiga, which had Castlevania vibes and was the creators very first attempt at using the Scorpion Engine. Well fast forward to today and thanks to Earok giving us a shout out, we now know that not only is the game going to be called Maria Renard’s Revenge developed by DomKid, but it will be a Castlevania fan game featuring parallax, an animated background and characters, new enemies and much much more yet to be shown.

Sadly we don’t know when the game will be finished as it is still in an early alpha state. But from what we can see in the video above or linked here, you play as a girl who has to traverse through dangerous landscapes, while defending herself with the use of a bird that protects her from harm. The game features as mentioned before, charming graphics, a lovely soundtrack, smooth scrolling and multiple parallax layers.

Another HOT news story for all you fine Indie Retro News readers, as if you’ve ever played Another World or Flashback, then we’ve just been told you can now download the complete version of the Commodore Amiga game ‘Dark Angel’; A game that was written using AMOS, released by Archoas Software back in 1995 as a PD game, and going by many in the community the only version they’ve ever been able to play is the demo… Well at least until now anyway!

While there are multiple posts from different people on the EAB forums, regarding the development of the game using AMOS, and the fact they used a rotoscoping technique for all the character movements and the three disks for the FULL version was found back in 2015. It wasn’t until AMIPEGUSER worked with nujack and unofficially worked together with softpres. (They have kryoflux and try to preserve games which are not listed or wanted at softpres) that they were able to recover the ADF-files and was able to upload to the Zone for all to enjoy! 

So yes certainly a worthy news story but please note for further details, as it was difficult to put all the information together regarding this game, I’d highly recommend reading the EAB source below

Another great heads up for you all, as thanks to Earok giving us the shoutout on Facebook and via the Scorpion Engine Facebook page, we’ve been told that Dante 3d dev@dantemendes has shown some brand new footage of his work in progress Amiga game of Primal Blade: An action platformer for the Commodore Amiga as you battle evil forces with sword in hand across a vast and dangerous landscape.

As noted via our previous article when the game didn’t yet have a name. According to Earok, Dante Mendes has been working on a new Scorpion Engine hack and slash game. Early days, but it’s looking promising so far as he’s used the parallax system to create something reminiscent of Lionheart or Shadow of the Beast. Dante is promising ongoing video updates, and has also shown off a time lapse of some new art created in Brilliance on Amiga”…. So yes watch this space!

A game which in itself was a re-make of Super Cars II (tweaked gameplay, updated 256-color VGA graphics and a new soundtrack).

According to JOTD from our previous article, he has been tinkering with the idea of doing something with the original supercars2 source code that someone had sent him which he hopes to turn it into a fully fledged game of Super Cars International AGA. But do beware however that JOTD does state this still a work in progress version as although the game is near to completion with many new fixes and improves made from the previous beta, it still may have some bugs and glitches.
