Couldn't keep this under my hat any longer:
I'm working on an MSX 2 version of the game Sweet Acorn!
At the moment, it's going quite swell.
For testing, I simply reproduced the original graphics, only in MSX 2 palette.
This graphics on this screenshot (click to enlarge) are actually in screen 5 and the characters are software sprites:
Main objective is to make it feel and play just like the original.
Besides that, Acorn 2 will feature:
* Variety in type of acorn to throw; sticky, exploding, etc...
* Slightly more strategic/puzzle game elements
* New enemies/behavior
* Multiple "worlds" to play (your average ice, vulcano stages...)
* Probably some 2-player modes; maybe even 3-player
* Screen 5 graphics, of course, with more colours, more animation & variety
* Fm-Pac music
* Even a storyline, that is, if I ever find out what's the story of the original
...I'll keep you posted about relevant progress!
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. ;)
