Im recreating bouncer arcade game from 1983 Entertainment sciences and aré you recreating yosaku next? Someone just recreated yosaku but It doesnt want to be public the download
Hey, that's an interesting project, can't promise anything as I'm busy at the moment but I will put it on a list for the future along with 'Black Beetles'.
A request I would like to make is that I love how the game maintains the 3:4 aspect ratio when maximised, but the CRT glass border ends up following the ratio of the window rather than the game, causing the game to look like it's playing a tate arcade game on a 16:9 CRT display in yoko. I'm hoping that some time in the future, the CRT glass effect goes around the game rather than following the window, heh!
Yeah, you can add your own custom images to games in Steam, it's just that because of how many different sizes depending on what screen you're on and when you last played the game, you need to make a whole bunch of images to do it properly. Not to mention that for some reason in Steam for Linux, it will only show game icons when they're PNG files rather than ico or jpg files, leaving it blank. So more work for linux users, lol!
But I would love to see a borderless window and borderless fullscreen mode. Plus I can't wait to afford to get a Steam Deck to play this on the go! :D
Amazing arcade game! Now more people get to play it, and it's my first time playing the game too! Will there be a future borderless-window mode in the future?
I am absolutely OVERJOYED to play this game again. I found it in an arcade either late 1980 or early 1981 and instantly fell in love with it and frequently went into town just to play this one game. We must have had someting like 60-70 arcades here in those days but there was only one Dracula Hunter and I always made a point of playing it. Sadly around late 1981 it was removed.. no idea why! and that was the last time I ever played it. When emulation and Mame became a thing this was the game I wanted the most but sadly the board is rare and the roms weren't dumped. So I've not been able to play it in over 40 years! I frequently think about this game because it holds a special place in my heart. Yes there was talk of it being made but I didn't want to get my hopes up but.. here we have it. Seeing this again after all these years was quite emotional for me and I'm thrilled to bits to be able to play it once again. Thank you so very VERY much!

Ah ok

Game progression stops when the bat stage is cleared.
(windows version)
Will check this, did the blood animation and 'good hunter' message show?
No, the game stops without blood animation and message.
Ok thanks, not seen that bug, just played through and it worked, will investigate.
Thank you. I took a video, please check it out.

Great, thanks. I'll see if I can replicate, that's the first bat stage I assume?
Very cool conversion!
How about a Commodore 64 remake? 😁
The closest thing thematically before this is Dracula Buster for the Sega Saturn‘s Dezaemon 2. https://youtu.be/cFYnSoedvgU
I love this game so much I made my own custom Steam images for it! :D
Nice one, very cool - I didn't even know you could do that! I'll look into your request for borderless-window mode.

How authentic does it feel to what you remember? (I never played the original.)
It feels bang on. I'm amazed by how accurate it feels and plays. He did a superb job!
Cheers - that's awesome to know.
