|  A Monumental Comeback: Bruce Lee Anniversary Edition! | | Posted by Csabo on 2022-03-28 |
 TCFS is back! (Is there anyone who doesn't know this name? Hmm, indeed there might be; in short: a much-celebrated and very prolific old-school Plus/4 scene developer, most famous for his rewrites of C64 games.) After 29 years, a new "converted" game is here: Bruce Lee Anniversary Edition. A true TCFS-style "conversion": this release is in fact a newly coded game, only using graphics and level design of the original. Considering that the Plus/4 does not have hardware sprites, it is no small achievement that the game is a "pixel-perfect" recreation.
Why Bruce Lee, you might ask? It's ranked high on many C64 top-lists ([1], [2]) with good reason: it's fun :-) The game is also noted for being one the first ones to combine platforming and beat 'em up elements.
You control Bruce Lee, as he collects lanterns, climbs nets, jumps across rooftops and delivers savage flying-kicks to his enemies. Besides the many obstacles and hazards, you must also deal with the black ninja and Yamo, who are constantly on your tail. You can play in the normal one and two player modes (where a second player controls Yamo), but the Plus/4 version also has an additional 3 player mode. Can you fight your way through the evil sorcerer's lair? Go play now!
And finally the cherry on top: check out Retro Sprite Workshop, a new Windows utility by TCFS, developed specifically for this game. It allows anyone to extract sprites or characters from screenshots exported from any emulator. What a birthday gift to us, enjoy! |
