Angry Birds 68k

A clever chap has cloned Angry Birds on the Sega Megadrive! :)

Not a bad attempt, and shows how basic the gameplay is.

They should allow more flexibility when firing the bird - it seems to be character based which is a bit lame, and the collision detection seems a bit iffy.

Should be doable on the Amiga no problem, as the physics has been reduced to having falling blocks only.

The graphics and sound are cute, but the physics are in dire need of work. I'd expect this from an 8-bit machine, but a 16-bit one - especially the MegaDrive, let alone the Amiga - is capable of so much more.

Oh come on now, give the guy some credit.  It's a miracle that anyone is even developing software for the MegaDrive these days.  I think it's an amazing feat in light of the fact the this system is so old that you can't even find the tools and documentation on how to program it anymore.

Not bad, I'm still sticking to my high school favorite, though.

How hard to port this game into the Amiga?

Can't read Russian and I apparently can't intuitively follow the prompts.  Any help?

Hahaha! I remember this one: gorilla.bas, or simply "el gorilabás", as we called it here in spain. That game was on every PC on my school, and that was what mots people thought computer games where. Good thing I had the Amiga at home :D

I've updated the OP with a better link. :)

There's quite an active homebrew scene for the Megadrive/Genesis, but yeah the docs and tools available aren't anything compared to other retro machines.

This is a good resource: http://gendev.spritesmind.net/page-doc.html

I used google translate, works like a charm.

I tried the game on my GP2X, the game works, but sound is scrambled.
Nice work!

Don't get me wrong, I give the guy plenty of credit. He's put together a great-looking little early demo. He just needs to refine the mathematics behind the scenes to get the playability to the level that the hardware is capable of.

Personally I think it's pretty awesome.  Although I still hate that game, LOL.  ;)

My favorite game of that type was always "Scorched Tanks".  I remember playing that once with a friend right through a hurricane, we were in the basement and I had a battery backup on my Amiga, didn't even notice the power had gone out till my mom called down the stairs for me.  Ah, good old days!  ;)

The whole point of Angry birds is it's physics, without it you are left with something like this.

Good effort on the MD but the machine obviously doesn't have the power for an accurate port of this game.

Nice Ports on AmiNet!

Ehhhh, I don't know about that.  I've seen some pretty impressive physics engines on these older machines.  The Genesis (MegaDrive) also has a secondary processor (the Z80) which is normally used for sound processing, but can easily be used to help give the 68000 a little extra elbow room for processing, if needed.

@nicholas: thanks for the link.  Google translator wouldn't allow the captcha to render for me, for some reason.
