Not sure if anyone remembers the old Road Fighter remake that we did many years ago for the Retro Remakes competition (I almost had forgotten about it myself! Smile). But I was just contacted by Andrey Ugolnik, who has taken the original source code and has been refactoring, cleaning it and making it up-to-date with modern OSs. His version can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/andreyu/road-fighter

And he even compiled a version to run on a web browser using Emscripten (I don't think sound works on this version though): https://apps.ugolnik.info/roadfighter/

Anyway, I thought it was cool that after so many years, someone took the project and starting doing something with it again! :)

Hey, this old game. Smile It seems to get resurrected from time to time by other people. Someone ported the game to the Wii, for instance. It's cool to see it being appreciated even today.

This was the first properly released game that I ever worked on (back when I still used McBain as my nickname, hahah). The graphics are okay for the most part, but I was never happy with the way stages 4 and 5 looked, among some other things. I wouldn't mind updating/polishing the graphics one day, if the new guys would incorporate them to these new builds.

Thanks for posting about this, Santi. That was very nostalgic. Smile
