Legendary porter JOTD (Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Fabre) has provided a significant update on the project, which is being developed specifically for AGA-equipped Amigas (such as the A1200 and A4000).\u00a0After what JOTD described as &#8220;brutal debugging sessions,&#8221; the developer has successfully stabilized the core of the game, with scrolling still to fix and a completable game. While the original 1980s Amiga port was often criticized for poor graphics and lackluster performance, this new AGA edition which also features music by n09, aims to leverage the advanced chipset to deliver a much more faithful recreation of the arcade original.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>This project follows JOTD\u2019s successful track record of high-quality Amiga conversions, including recent releases like Dig Dug 2 (January 2026) and Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja. His ports are known for being &#8220;transcodes&#8221; that often use original arcade code (z80 to 68k assembly) to ensure maximum accuracy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>[UPDATE] <\/b>&#8211; While the game isn&#8217;t yet ready for release, JOTD has made available a new beta with the following being said. &#8220;A small update. I hope it&#8217;s slightly faster. Also there were some missing frames at times too (noticed when I played the game with a friend on my machine). So please tell me if you notice some speed differences (not sure there are)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s all there is to say about this version, but once the game is finished a new article will go live to go along side this eagerly awaited Arcade like experience \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><b>Links <\/b>:1) <a href=\"https:\/\/jotd666.itch.io\/double-dragon\">Download<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week just gets better and better as another game has hit our news feeds and it&#8217;s none other than Double Dragon for the Amiga, but as an AGA edition.
