[Game]Dragonbounty

ss1 ss2

This is my attempt at a remake of the Atari 2600 version of Dragonfire. I’ve tried to capture idiosyncratic game feel of the original (slippery acceleration, mostly) for the sake of nostalgia, but the sprites feel a little small on the play area right now.

Completed Tasks
  • [v1.1] Upscale sprites in play area
  • [v1.1a] Added intro text and some visual flare to highscore screen
Future Updates
  • Fine tune gameplay to be closer to the original (possibly read the 6502 source?)
  • Polish the sound effects
  • Add a “B” mode with game feel tuned to my liking
  • Add a “C” mode with my own sprite work and gameplay tweaks to make it feel more modern

To install: unzip contents into the root directory of your SD card, merging the folder /data/dragonbounty into a “data” folder if you have one.

Omg that was quick and super faithful to the original!

Nicely done … the old Atari games are a good choice for migration to the Pokitto.

Enjoy your free gift!

Nice work, and quickly made! I need to try it soon.

Updated to version 1.1 where I upscaled the sprites. I think it’s slightly larger than the original (though better than before), and there’s some distortion now… But I think it works better for the Pokitto.

This clearly counts as a win!
