Tir Na Nog and... Legend of Amazon Women :)

Post by Ralf »

I don't remember such discussion...

Have a look on Tir Na Nog (also applies to similar games like Dun Darach and Marsport):

and now Legend of The Amazon Women:

Looks similar, right?

My question is - do these games use the same engine or is it just superficial similarity? Do they have the same authors?

They do look similar, but It's not the same authors.
LotAW is pretty repetitive btw ... but at least you're feeling like you're getting somewhere - unlike in Tir Na Nog :D

The author's comment suggests it's a superficial similarity, it'd be interesting to see a disassembly.
I was very tight on memory in general on this one. I even hid some data in the sky that cannot be seen because the pixel and background colours are the same.

And there it is above the mountains! Mind you if the author insists on having a superfluous 'f' in his surname who knows how many optimisations could be made now.

That is begging to be disassembled lol. But to be open minded it could be the most dedicated tribute.
