Nice! I can see the bullets, life, and score ingame is more logic with the game topic than the other version. Is it like the original? Have you seen it? I don't.

Has it any other improvement?

Thanks!

Pd. I'm phasermaniac, dont know why, I am logged as another user, can edit but not erase

it took me so many hours to do it.
I've never seen the game, but it's still the same as an American Laser Games.
Even the hardware it uses is the same

Yes I tried today in my arcade at 640*240 15hz with crt gun and works nice, I only played the beggining.

 

One question: for me, the trigger activated crosshair option works in the other singe games but not here, it seems to show crosshaire.png.

I like this option because it doesnt distract you when aiming but shows where you last shot, and it's like the original did.

It is not perfect in daphne singe, because if you are moving the gun when shoot, you can see the trigger activated crosshair moves, and it shouldnt, but you can fix it with ahk bloking the mouse movement while thrigger is down.

Any advice to make it work?

[phasermaniac]

This was phasermaniac.

I'm after the Marbella vice video content for years, but I cant find it.

Yars ago, I asked to Rdg, who uploaded this video 

 but he didnt want to share, dont know why, because previusly, when he was asking for help, he said he would.

And later Arcadecat, an association that bought the only original arcade that worked, and they only seemed to want it emulated with mame.

[poiu]

if anyone has videos I share with you

[phasermaniac]

thanks! I would do too, but I think it's dificult. In the internet I saw In they have an vhs in la Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid and in the Red Publica de Lectura de Euskadi in Vitoria. But you need some premission to take.

What about the trigger activated option, can be used?

I have just finished my recostruction of all audio/video scenes of Freedom Fighter... a really long work since the only dump that I know has the video tracks scrambled.

Now I little bit for implementing the moves and targets...

nice job famawizard, for the use of the gun take my script as an example, making hitbox files is a long job, but it is necessary.
While for the directions in the alley scene you will need to script yourself, there is no where to start

[famawizard]

Thanks... In FF, thank's God, the targets are static, so I hope  hitboxs should (SHOULD😅) not be necessary. One problem is that often they are very near each other. I think the original arcade was very very difficult. One thing that I will not implement is the randomlyness of the levels. In the original game you can play the levels in any order, while in my version you must follow a single route, but all scenes are present, except one small interlude that I have reconstructed but is impossible to insert (but is a non playable scene). Then thee are two scenes excluded because they are the exact reflection of another scenes (left vs right). Finally.. Some scenes are with substituted audio, be c in the LD rip not always audio is in sync with video.

[poiu]

Hitboxes are needed otherwise when you shoot you don't jump to the scene where the enemies explode.
Gun games don't work like move games

this is how it should be

download the 2 versions and find the differences

[pedropatatas]

First of all thanks for your work, it looks really fantastic.

Now, I don't know why but the game is pretty unresponsive. Sometimes shooting one or multiple times at an enemy does nothing and you have to restart all again.

[dreamerchen]

How Can I play this game? maybe want use emulator? Thanks

[r0n1n]

Merci + thanks you very much + bravo !

[sgc1]

Hi would you be able to put a new link up please.

[shift]

I agree with the request. Unfortunately the link is broken. Could someone repost a correct link? Thanks

[poiu]

this project is abandoned, you will find the new version in singe 2

[80sRkadeGuy]

Anyone have a new link?

[Jonathan Smith]

@poiu Can you hook the original laserdisc and rom to an american laser games cabinet and post as much gameplay of it as possible so we can see the original version in action? Can you also send the original laserdisc and rom to mame so they can emulate it and we hopefully get to play the original version?
