All are down-converted as far as I know. I've never played the Mega Drive version

Well, the first level is almost identical. Looking over the Mobygames screenshot section, I see some kind of train stage that's missing; and here's the DOS version's wall stage:

Cool Spot - Stage 7 - Dock and Roll



I need to tweak some of the earlier efforts - there are some bugs and inconsistencies. Saving things as background/sprites/foreground layered files certainly helps with that kind of thing.



I've worked out a technique to help my Autostitcher with games like this one which run at inconsistent frame rates, which is helping a lot.

Cool Spot - Stage 8 - Surf Patrol





It's the last level of the game but I have a few bonus stages to map yet.

It... looks a bit bit weird, but there's really no satisfying way to show movements in static maps, and it doesn't look horrible either. It's your call really.

Cool Spot - Stage 1 - Shell Shock - fix

[TerraEsperZ]

Did you change anything except the animated frame used for the enemies and items?

I remade the whole thing with layers, but yeah, that's about it.

Cool SPot - Stage 2 - Pier Pressure



Same deal - just making the sprites consistent across the maps.

[Maxim]

All done:



Stage 1 - Shell Shock



Stage 2 - Pier Pressure



Stage 3 -  Off The Wall



Stage 4 - Radical Rails



Stage 5 - Wading Around



Stage 6 - Back To The Wall



Stage 7 -  Dock And Roll



Stage 8 - Surf Patrol



Bonus stages:



Consider this a submission.

After a very long hiatus, I just hacked Chuck Rock to have a free-scrolling view. Here are some quick rushes:



They need sprite cleanup, but they have been grid aligned and missing areas filled in.

[Maxim]

Here they are cleaned up...

4 attachments per post? Jon should raise that.

Ever start on a game and have a hard time continuing? (Hi TerraEsperZ)

Nope, never been there, no sir. Whatever gave you that *crazy* idea?

I've only started and left unfinished a few maps, nothing more. Let me see... two, three... five... ten... twenty...

Maxim, do you plan to finish your Chuck Rock project?
