Just listening to this on headphones you can tell they put a lot of effort into stereo panning (with the sound effects shifting track L to R dynamically around the music.) Awesome
Not surprised it's so well loved - it has a good pedigree. Jason Perkins was previously responsible for Thing On A Spring and Monty On The Run on the C64. He was my friend's boss in the PSX/PS2 days, and because Renegade went bust shortly after the game was released, never had a copy of the final version, so I ADF'ed mine for him. ;)
One of the best plat formers for the Amiga, period! Dont let the crappy 240p graphics fool you, it looks and and sounds even more awesome in HD! A real badass game.
@Megadrivemalta Actually you have 2 things wrong here. Like cubex55 said, there wasn't an AGA version and the Amiga didn't use 720kb (the Atari ST did) floppy disks it used 880kb disks.
For anyone who has Little Big Planet 2 and loves Ruff´n´Tumble like I do...I made a level inspired by the first level. If anyone likes it, I´ll make more levels. It´s not a remake, it´s inspired by Ruff´n´Tumble. So, play it on Little Big Planet 2!
@Reactor10k The music doesn´t have any melody? Look how many people can hum the music from Super Mario still 20 years after it´s release.. But this? Don´t hear many people making covers of this music today :P
@TheConnyB So what you're saying is games would be better off with tv advert jingles? Just because some music might not sit in your head and be hummable (ie: written as a simple ditty that kids can remember) doesn't mean there's no melody. Pretty much all of the mod music scene rests on that idea.
Anyway, as far as people remembering this music, R&T isn't that well known.
Looks like a lot of fun, a highly playable game, the kind I would have loved as a boy, but which would have caused conflict between myself and my parents! "DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!"
This right here was Amiga answer to Mario and Sonic. I may be going out on a limb here, but this is the best game I have ever played on the Amiga... I still have the disks somewhere...
The bosses were brilliant as well. Truly works of art.
This is a rela masterwork. I know a lot of amiga games but that this game with this graphics, sound, and fast gameplay is possible on an amiga 500 is a real dream.
This is one of the most amazing looking OCS/ECS games released for the Amiga 500. It required a 1MB Amiga 500 to run. Believe it or not this game is only 32-colours, the illusion of more colours was achieved by realtime mixing the colours with each other (making 'chessboard' with pixels) to gain new shades. Appearing late in the Amiga's life (1994), Ruff 'n' Tumble really showed what the Amiga could do with gaming in the hands of skilled coders and talented pixel artists.
Oh wow, thanks for pointing that out too me, I never heard of that game. Wow, it's hard to believe a C64 could pump out so much, games later on in the C64's life really pushed the little guy too it's limits. The scrolling in that game is so smooth AND sfx + music!? EPIC WIN! I checked out some vids here on YouTube, that game absolutely stunned me. I'm gonna have to see where I can get it for my actual C64. :)
@PsychoticVolts Amiga released in 1985, Mega Drive released in 1989, SNES released in 1992. Making such comparisons are null and void considering the technological time line.
Yes, from the little bit of info I've gathered from the 'Net, the Natami looks like it's an impressive piece of tech, but what I'm talking about the the remake that's supposed to be in the works for PC. A user named shezzor uploaded some vids of it.
Really good Arcade Platformer. Colors are vibrant, Sound and playability are great. And look at the Graphics....Damn. This is running on Amiga 500!!! Very good coding!
The finest Amiga platformer? Probably. Superb graphics, explosions galore, excellent music, brilliant, challenging gameplay (the difficulty levels is one of very few games to be perfect). Only a slightly dull last world drags it down a touch, but otherwise spot on.
I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this one when I was a kid. One of the best Amiga games. This game is The Shit! I mean...fuckin' hell look at the graphics. Amazing.
to be fair I don't think the NeoGeo is as technically advanced as it looks - I think that a lot of the time it's sheer attention to detail and polish that they put in that makes those games look so great.
I guess this game shows you can do the same on the Amiga too :)
It's surprising that games in those days, especially on the amiga, were made by a group of 2 maybe up to 4 people when now they are done by a roman century.
Daaaaaaamn, that was and still is a friggn awesome game, my all time favorite! Incredible graphics, suuuupersmooth gameplay. Let alone the music and soundeffects! Still gets me goosebumps. Thanks 4 upload! :)
Thanks for sharing this with us all, very much appreciated! I played the demo disk for hours on end when I was younger, was always blown away by how good it looked and sounded!
Thanks very much! I hoped one day this game's longplay would be posted :) I really liked it those days- awesome graphics (almost like 3d robot models), great guns, great music and it was one of the fastest loading games on Amiga :)
Gz to the coders. I always wanted to see the end of the game, I hoped there would be some short story or sth. I was a bit disappointed having seen nothing's really there. I myself managed to reach like 2nd, 3rd stage of the last world. Damn, so close...
@cubex55 its amazing, it looks better than several aga games. could you tell me where the music from the first couple levels is from. i swear i recognise it, its driving me nuts!
Oh youre right - looks like no one has converted it yet - in that case google for "exotica org uk" there you will find it in the oiginal format - you need deliplayer com to play it.
Yeah I knew that. It would be nice if someone would convert that in .mp3 format. Thanks anyway. Btw any ideas how to convert the original format to .mp3?
Very smooth looking graphics! It immediately reminds me of Dan Malone's style (Chaos Engine, Speed Ball).
It's difficult to make out from watching on YouTube, but if the framerate exceeds 2 frames and is inconsistent it could be because they went for the easy way to simply redraw the entire screen each update (possible to avoid any extra overhead from drawing lots of animated pick-ups) rather than the faster and more complex method that allows you to only redraw the edges as you scroll.
One of the best Amiga`s games! I remember it very well, it has been released on 2 discs, it has 4 worlds and an excellent music. Best platform/shooter on Amiga ever.
Sorry - nothing we can do about - seems the YouTube converter didnt work correctly. If you want the flawless version download it from our website - see profile :)
