First beta test on a real Amiga 1200 with 68060 @ 100 MHz !

Arti continues to plug away at delivering a Mortal Kombat 3 conversion for our favourite computer. He acknowledges that there's a graphical bug on the pre-fight character ladder screen, but he's confident it'll be fixed very soon.

He writes:

Speed is not bad, I hope to optimize it more.

General Retro Computing Chatter / Re: SHADOW GANGS ZERO - Retro-style ninja action game for Shinobi fans !
« Last post by Marcio D. on January 14, 2026, 01:51:02 pm »
Happy new year!  We're now in 2026 and this is the year we'll see Shadow Gangs Zero (SGZ) released, beginning first with the Neo Geo version and then all other versions afterwards - i.e. Dreamcast, Switch, PS5, Xbox One, Steam (PC), and Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.

Progress:
Phase 3 of development has been finished, which was the integration of final graphics.  Now the developer has moved on to Phase 4, which involves working on: special effects, impacts & hit flashes, blood & debris, explosions, background animations, HUD, and menus & loading screens.  The alpha version of the game is projected to be ready by mid to late February 2026.

Upcoming:
After alpha, the developer plans to work on these tasks: final optimization, difficulty tuning, sound effects integration, and Neo Geo hardware performance checks.  Once those tasks have been done, we enter the phase that you've all been waiting for - Beta testing.  During the beta phase, all backers will be given a digital copy of the Neo Geo beta version to playtest.  By all backers, I mean EVERYONE, not just Neo Geo backers.  So for example, if you've backed the PS5 version, you'll be playtesting the Neo Geo beta.  Ditto for backers of Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Dreamcast, Switch, Xbox One, and Steam (PC).

Tribute:
In his January 10, 2026 progress update, the developer pays tribute to Arjie Cosca, the original main level artist who sadly passed away three months ago.  As you view the screenshots attached to this post, please know that SGZ’s levels carry his vision, style, and inspiration.  The developer notes Arjie's contribution:

- He shaped the visual identity of the game.
- He brought atmosphere and world-building to every stage.
- His sense of detail, mood, and composition is everywhere.
- The art pipeline, tone, and richness all began with his work.

Campaign:
Over 800 backers are on board with their game controllers on hand, ready to experience the SGZ revolution.  We're only £1.3K away from reaching the final stretch goal that gives us the six mini-bosses.  Don't let the term "mini-bosses" fool you, as these aren't tiny adversaries.  One of them is a large ferocious dragon that fills more than half the screen!

Please help make the inclusion of the mini-bosses a reality.  The campaign is still open, but not for much longer:

Thank you!

A video of the work in progress has been made available by the developer.

The campaign is very close to being funded.  Please help out if you'd like to see MK3 for Amiga!
