Has anybody checked this new collection out, it got the Amiga, C64 & Speccy versions in it.
and demos of cancelled last ninja remakes & an IK+ remake that Archer Mclean was working on before he sadly passed away.

Yeah that campaign has done gangbusters. I've already backed, used to love these on my c64, then on my Amiga, & all the extra's look really interesting

Regards to Vendetta yes that's sad not to see. Fingers crossed they do another collection down the road featuring a more general System 3 collection Myth, Putty, Tusker, Flimbo's Quest, Vendetta & the different cancelled versions.


Also Deaths Head, from the defunct Marvel UK back from the late 80's one of my favorite Marvel characters who's underrated & largely forgotten. Did the 4th wall breaking thing before Deadpool & was much more interesting with it.... Yes?

@Deaths_Head

I hope helgis can contribute with some ninja soundtracks.

@monstercoder

Yes. Apparently there a double available vinyl as an add on & some of the higher tiers come with a CD soundtrack too.

@Deaths_Head

I will back this if helgis is on the vinyl.

@Deaths_Head

This is indeed nice project, but seems KS will fail.
I wish authors to find another source of crowfunding / real investor.

However, it looks to me like its "just" releasing 16 bit versions of mentioned games
for modern systems.

I would prefer to see more of development cycle of proper "remake"
that would buy rights, develop similar or simpler gameplay, improve
graphics to today possible 2D pixel and especially sound.

To that, I would pay 20 euros for such version of IK plus alone,
with local and Internet (and Steam) multiplayer, and it could be candy for
oldcomers, even attractive to modern audience, if devoid of pay to win
and being fair competitive mechanics. More moves, games etc. could be added
but nothing like SF/MK combos or fatalities. Keep it simple and clean, but expand.

I think its a gap in 2D fighting games on Steam/consoles/PC
that should be filled.

Love the IK music and sound, hope it can be both kept retro and modernized.
