Star Soldier Aleck 64 Jamma up and running

Post by hd »

.. finally hacked Star Soldier Aleck 64 to standard Jamma (4 buttons per player) to be able to play it in standard Jamma cab without Aleck64 special panel. This game was not seen in pcb shops FOR YEARS!

would be a good time for VARIANT SCHWANZER now ;)

Neat! Pops up on YAJ probably once per year. I wouldn't mind having a full Aleck64 set.

Not sure, but I also wonder how hard it would be to get these games running on the N64? Would be sweet to have stuff like Tower & Shaft on the telly (vs. the GBA)!

Judging by the MAME driver, fairly trivial. I should try it at some point :P

<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

What's the point of this game? I watched this video and I couldn't figure it out. (Also, somebody post those two options from the menu for that guy, please!)

It's a single button reaction/puzzle game. The character runs by itself and you simply hit a button when you want him to jump (hold the button to make him jump higher). In Tower mode the screen goes up and you die when you fall off a plattform. In Shaft mode the screen goes down.

Why not just hack an N64 pad wire to connect to the Aleck64 instead? :)
