This looks awesome!!  Unfortunately I run an STe in the USA at 60 FPS.  50 is too slow 😥

Played it on my Mega STe a while back.

Blew me away! 😄 dml's Atari Game Tools do a great job along with your coding to make a great smooth experience I would have killed for on the ST back in the day. If only I had a three button pad to play it with. 😛

You guys are showing the Amiga fanboys our lovely ST is alive and kicking. ❤️

Looking good.  How long did it take to do the first part?

While I can't quite afford either of those models, I did happen to get a NeoGeo CD for under $200 about a month ago. Now I have a controller and will need to get a PSU for it at some point. I know that Metal Slug and MS2 are available for the NeoGeo CD. Then again, I own the Saturn port of Metal Slug also. Such great games!

Can't you get MS2 xbox 360?

Atari Game Tools is an easy setup library to make ST games in C by Doug Little. Includes tools to convert graphics, and stuff too. 🙂
