Announcement: Acorn 2
sweet 
Indeed! I tried to copy the graphics accurately as possible. Compare them to the originals:

...I even retained the tiny "slip" (I mean really tiny) which Taito themselves made back then:
You know how hardware sprites always get one pixel lower than the Y-coordinate you actually assign them to?
Well, in Sweet Acorn, the enemies and acorns seem to be aligned to the grid, but the player isn't.
Anyway, when everything works just like the original, it's time to really start using screen 5.

Looking good, DemonSeed!
Never seen Sweet Acorn before, so I guess I should download it sometime [oh-oooh, what did I say here?

Surely Acorn2 will be a great project 
Sweet Acorn was one of my favorite games when I was a kid.
Hopefully this project will finish soon!

Guess I should also sort of check the possibility of getting some Taito-lawyers after my ass... Not quite the company I would choose to %$@# with.
Don't worry; as long as you don't aim for mass-distribution all over the world, there's no chance of any company to come after you because of a fangame.
Nice project; you didn't tell me anything about this when I was at your party last week. Came up suddenly?
