Here’s a gameplay of The Great Giana Sisters Special Edition AGA rebuild on Retroarch overlay Amiga 1200 + Commodore C1084S-D1 from TheNamec Mega Bezel Commodore Pack. Featuring Death to Pixels Arcade Sharp post-processing by Cyberlab.
In the late eighties, if you were a gamer you had two paths you could go by: to be a console couch gamer or to steal your parents PC to have some fun! At that time, lot of console ports come to Amiga, but Nintendo games were undoubtedly a prohibited dream.
It was 1986. Manfred Trenz, the future father of Turrican, became involved in a project without precedents: a clone of Super Mario Bros so shameless and so desired by people that it could be a nice commercial idea. Problem being that Rainbow Arts team went too far with “inspiration” to the “reference materiale” and copied not only gameplay principles, but even graphics and level design!
With a memorable original soundtrack by master Chris Huelsbeck, a legendary (never happened) lawsuit by Nintendo and 36 levels of twisted dreams, The Great Giana Sisters was success on both Commodore 64 and Amiga, despite being quickly retired from stores. Of course, Giana Sisters Amiga port deserved better graphics but because of its troubled history we’re lucky it was actually released!
In 2018 Pixelglass Games updated the game hacking in new content from the DS remake, resulting in a really nice unofficial remake with new graphics and sfx, a shiny AGA intro, the same old floaty physics and still no run button (if you are wondering about it).
The Great Giana Sisters Special Edition AGA unofficial remake is free to play.
