Thank you very much to bring this gem to Neo Geo! Really appreciated. Played this game at Amiga first. Now on Neo Geo MVS. Installed the actual version today on real hardware MVS on a Backbit cartridge using the Mame files. Everything works great except the music. The sfx are hearable but no sound. There is click hearable behind from time to time but the sound is not working. If you have an idea and need real hardware get in touch i can test. And one feature is missing at arcades. Continues. Especially in 2 Player mode. Every Neo Geo game needs continues :-)

And here what the Backbit Forum say:

What games are supported?

All original Neo Geo MVS/AES games are supported. Neo Geo CD games are not supported. 

Most homebrews are supported, as long as they don't go over MAX 840 MEGA (512 CROM, 128 VAROM, 128 VBROM, 64 PROM, 4 SROM, 4 MROM). Titles that have security keys locking them to specific hardware will not be supported. All known banking schemes are supported, and more could be added if needed.

MAME style ROM format works fine. Here the example from the commercial XenoCrisis

BB01-c1.c1

BB01-c2.c2

BB01-m1.m1

BB01-p1.p1

Thank you!

Great. Thanks! Looking forward to have a Neo Geo MVS Version in my hands to test it on the Backbit Cartridge.

Some comments: 

System is a A1200 PiStorm 32, Pi 4b, Amiga OS 3.2.3, Emu68 V 1.07, Videocore 1.4.

Performance:

QuickRace 640x360 distance 150 -> 38fps; distance 300 -> 37fps

QuickRace 480x270 distance 150 -> 50fps; distance 300 -> 47fps

Interesting that different distance restrict the fps not that much. So i go with 300 :-)

Improvement: Sometimes I drive really badly :-) It would be nice to have a button you could press to get back on track. For example, the “B” button. Right now, the only option is to press ESC and start new.

Thank you so much for this fantastic, dedicated development for the Amiga. We really need a modern racing game. It works right out of the box, even at this early stage. You can tell it’s not just a PC port that’s throwing around hundreds of megabytes ;-) It runs absolutely smoothly on my PiStorm32 with a Pi4b. Even with a view distance of 200, at the currently highest resolution, I still get 39 fps. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it develops. Is there a way to contribute to a coffee  fund? :-)

That´s great to hear. Good launch title for the AES+ :-) Hopefully this device will have the possibility to load files from USB/SD etc. Or do you plan a physical release on cartridges as well?

Game available for purchase exclusively at the moment here

I played with my daughter today (she’s a very experienced Bubble Bobble and Quak player). Here’s some of her suggestions.

- An enemy that has been hit should return after a certain amount of time (if you don’t jump on it) and then move faster through the level, making it harder to hit.

- Once the level is completed, a level exit should randomly pop up somewhere that both players still have to run through. It makes it more exciting because of the time limit.

- A health bar for the bosses so you can see when it’s about to die.

- New music in Level 2 because the music from Virgill is so great :-)

Cheers, Quak is a perfect 2-player game with most fun in coop. 1-player is too heavy. If you need a beta-tester for BackBit cartridge testing. Iam here. Let me know.

Game looks great. I like like fast paced games like this. Remembers me to Quak from Tram17 in the old days. 

Keep the work up and my NeoGeo MVS is also looking for this great game. Would be great if it is compatible to the Backbit SD cartridge. 

Great to see you started your next OS3 classic project. YT video here much appreciated to see gameplay.

Last info from November says that both versions are delayed and coming 1st quarter 2026. Two months left... ;-)

Latest beta works great on Amiga1200 PiStorm CM4 with OS 3.2.3 in highest 1366x768 resolution. FPS varies stable between 29fps - 50fps in the game. Very well playable. Looking forward to see which game comes to us at the end. Thank you for you´re passion to bring such game to highend Amigas!

Works now on real 68060. Thank you for fixing!

Great demo. Can confirm that the NeoGeo-rom version works with the BackBit Platinum Cartridge.

Maybe an idea to take "beta" out of the download names ;-)

Thank you for entering the Amiga classic OS3 market. Looking forward to your future projects!

Great collection of all the Neo Geo stuff. Thanks very much!

-Dream on: A release of upcoming Evercade Roquecraft DX either as DLC or update. No problem to pay for it ;-) Dream off-

Good idea. Thanks for this tool!

Thank you for bringing this great game to the Amiga. Enjoing it very much on my CDTV booting from CD!

Now i downloaded again. This time the correct .adf is included. Thanks!

Wow. Many thanks for the update which comes unexpectedly and contains many of the desired features. You guys are great!

BUT: the .adf in the Zip file you receive when you already bought the game is the old version. You have to replace it. Thanks.

Tried this great game on my real A500+ with 2MB Chipram (no FastMem on board). Booting from floppy goes fine till titlescreen. Before sound starts game freezes in titlescreen. Tried under Kickstart 1.3 and 3.1. No difference. The same floppy disk works nice on my stock A1200 with 2MB Chip. Ideas?

Thanks and no problem with the highscore table. Hopefully it is so successfull that you do a sequel ;-)

Absolutely!

For me, the game of the year 2024. It was worth to give even more than the actual special price. The isometric graphics are fantastic. The music is great (why is there a menu item to switch it off ;-) ?) The gameplay is addictive. I only wanted to play it briefly and got stuck for 2 hours. Everything looks very polished, as if it were a game from the best Amiga days. Works fine on real machine under 060 and OS 3.2. Does it make sense to maybe add a highscore list with level reached, points, number of kills, and maybe with a playtime timer in the background? Otherwise I hope the Amiga will see more games from BadgerPunch. Thanks for bringing it to the Amiga. Its really a highlight!!!

Now that i own a NeoGEO MVS system iam looking so much forward to see the title on my machine. Thanks for bringing the game to the NeoGEO community!

Thanks for bringing this nice game to us. I like graphics stile very much and that it uses full PAL screen. Works fine on real A1200 030 50Mhz. HD version needs a quit to Workbench so that resetting the machine is not necessary. Why a Lvl code for Lvl1? Looking forward to see next versions!

Works also fine under OS 3.2.2.1 with 030, 040 and 060 CPU´s. Will be great if download purchasers also have the possibility to download disklabels for own floppy disks.

Long awaited and it is great! Thanks for that jewel. I like the fast gameplay and that it is not too easy as many other „casual“ games. The music is phenomenal. There are only two things i miss. Scrolling at the Amiga and to have an option „Joystick up“ gameplay. Iam from the old days and fire button to jump is not so easy for me ;-)

Very good news! Thanks!!!

Good to hear that. Thanks!

Any progress here? Hopefully the game will see the light of the day.

Hopefully it will see the light of the day!

Great graphics. Promises fun gameplay. Would like to have a display for the intermediate and final enemies to show how many hits they still need until they are flattened.

Great! One of my favorites back in my C64 days coming to the Amiga. Simple graphics but great gameplay. Can´t wait!
