Return To Prehistoric Isle in 1940

Post by princeofmars »

I have never tried making a shmup before and I heard a good way to learn how to program was to try and copy one of your favourite games so I started but trying to recreate the classic 1990 arcade game by SNK Prehistoric Isle

well I have been doing that for the last 2 weeks then I bored and figured why don't I make this a sequel set in ww2 where the Nazi's are trying to take over the island

anything from ww2 is drawn by me the rest are from the original game.
I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks.

The biplane is good. Go ahead and replace all remaining ripped graphics.

Is that the title? That's oddly specific.

the original was called prehistoric isle in 1930 so I figured I might as well include the date in this games title 2

Oh, that makes sense. It's certainly not the longest title in a shmup I've seen either.
