Ah, such an honour. You're one of my favourite sources to catch up with the new 64 games every month:) Thanks!

Thank you for your gameplay video. It's SUPER interesting to see how real gamers (ie not the development team of the game itself) play the game. You did great, it becomes a hard game very quickly!

Grazie

Why, thank you! I know it's not a crazy hi-tech game, but I also know that those who played the original game back in the 80s have fond memories of it. I hope to bring a smile on their faces.

Detto che un remake arricchito su PC ci sta tutto! con più elementi ecc... colonna sonora presa dalla libreria degli mp3... uhhh si potrebbero fare belle cose!

Grazie, gentilissimo!

Maestro, aspettiamo ovviamente la tua prossima opera con ansia vieppiù crescente!

Grazie a te per il playtesting utilissimo:

E' tutto tuo. Ti piacerà:)

Grazie! Sapevamo che RESTORE era un po' scomodo da trovare sugli emulatori, ma è un tasto molto potente sul 64. Forse dovremmo fare un prospetto di dove trovare su tutti gli emulatori, i vari core FPGA e così via! Nel doc abbiamo identificato che i tasti da provare sono tipicamente F12, PgUP e PGDN...

Thanks for the shoutout man - and thanks to anyone else involved in making this conversion possible. You rock <3

Hi!
This is me doing a blind run. With no instructions, no knowledge, nothing. I usually do relatively short episodes in this format - yet here I played for TWO HOURS, totally mesmerized. In a crowded genre, your game has its own personality that makes it stand out <3
I really hope you improve the formula with a sequel. I especially missed a load/save feature (even just one of the kind that destroys the save state once loaded, so you still can't reload endlessly to cheat).

Amazing. The visual style you chose is a masterpiece in its own. Thank you for such a feat!
Just two minor things about the credits: 
- it's MICHITAKA, not MICHIKATA - typo!
- The 2D artist was Rie YATOMI at the time. Later on she married Michishito Ishizuka, but at the time she was nubile.
Source: I interviewed Tsuruta 20 years ago and the MAME history dat info comes from there. 

Played so far only on MiSTer FPGA and it's incredible. Thank you SO much for this love letter to SEGA (and NEO-GEO too, of course!)
Question. 
I happen to have a MVS base and a JAMMA arcade cabinet. And an EPROM burner. Is there a way to cannibalize an existing MVS loose cheap cart and create an homebrew Shinobi cart? Before some bad guy does it on aliexpress, I mean.
Which cart would suit such a task, in case? I usually fiddle with pre-jamma stuff so I'm really noob at MVS.
Thank you very much:)

Mi gavevo fatto un zoghetto initolà "MINICAR" col S.E.U.C.K. ma dopo go usà la casseta per registrar sora un programa de radio fragola dioppoi... iera figon. Gran lavoro che gave' fato, che bela mularia ciò

Absolutely stunning arcade fidelity in fact - my suggestion is related to the scrolling technique only. 

Indeed. Even in the GG case, the scrolling is locked to Pac as soon as he reaches the central third of the screen, and it feels a bit abrupt. My point is that a slower vertical scrolling starting earlier, together with the way Pac moves along the y axis of the screen, would be less disruptive for the kind of playstyle Pac-Man has. Namco used this scrolling style also on GBC.

Hello and once again thank you for bringing the 64 to degrees of quality it never touched - talking here especially of the attention in converting the inner workings of the original Pac-Man masterpiece. 

I dare to provide a suggestion about the scrolling - not coming from me but from Namco:D

Please check what they did in the Game Boy version. Focusing on vertical axis, they start doing a overscan scroll much earlier (64 pixels from the level border or so). This makes the scrolling feel less abrupt, and starts revealing a bit earlier the not visible area.

(And of course sorry if you already considered this option and ruled it out because reasons!)

That said: you rock. Have a nice day!
