we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have featured your game "Data East’s BreakThru” in our very first issue.
Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.
hey rob. thanks for sending us your email. we sent you a png of the page where we covered your fan remake. also a link for the whole digital magazine, so you won't be bored tonight. cheers :)
Very nice and clean arcade conversion! Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 04:04:36. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
That is AWESOME! I will get an update to that video out ASAP. Thank you for the reply and beautiful work on a forgotten game I had forgotten here and there (search kept bringing up the puzzle game by Alexey 😂).
It would be perfect if the music/sound got some attention. Such a good port deserves a bit of attention to make it as near arcade as possible. Can also try and help fix that :)
Good effort but it could be done alot better. Its a rather small fix but a big discrepancy for anyone who knows the game arcade game. If the music is in tracker format, i can show you exactly what i mean by fixing it.

How did I miss that this got a full release. Well done.
can you, add in next release, game icon and installer for hard disk installation?
also on A4000/030ec , grey screen if the game start from hard disk. No problem if game boot from floppy.
Scorpion engine bug ?

Hey there, many thanks for your coverage of Breakthru. Hope you enjoyed the game.
I had a sneak peek at your new magazine and it looks really polished and well designed. Great work also!

Thanks for the update mate. Looking forward for the CD32 release!
Thank you, hope to compile a CD32 build in the next month or 2, thanks for giving the game a spin!

Can't wait to see more of your work on BreakThru, did a video on it, hoping we get more fans of this one showing you support.
Hello and thanks for your video.
I can confirm the game is released as complete, with all 5 stages. Only updates would be minor or bug fixes. Cheers!

As one of our readers reported, the game does not start from A4000 030EC:

Ok, this is the first time hearing of the game non starting on 030EC. Will look into the issue and see what's happening. Many thanks for the report.

Hi thanks for downloading!
The audio is pretty much taken from arcade source. Can only use 3 of the available 4 channels for music, the last channel reserved for sfx.
JMD had to squash multiple channels into 3, think he did a great job on the whole. The interludes especially sound very near arcade perfect.
Good effort but it could be done alot better. Its a rather small fix but a big discrepancy for anyone who knows the game arcade game. If the music is in tracker format, i can show you exactly what i mean by fixing it.
Please send me a mail if you are still working on a updated version of this. I have something you might be interested in - g3rsiu at gmail dot com
Very good
Good game, thank you. I also added it to my "Gameplay of New Amiga Games from January 2024" -video too.
Please upload this to Aminet in the standard AmigaOS LhA-archive format. Thanks.
Hi thanks for the comment. I will soon upload the exe files to Aminet for sure.
Awesome! Best of luck with future builds, and please don't forget to embed the standard AmigaOS $VER:-string in the binary! <3
Any way to enable the spacebar for jump? For single button joystick users. C64 version has this.
Am exploring this possibility, though I do recommend getting a controller with extra buttons, you will never go back ;)
Perfect
Thanks Ray, with some tweaks I hope to improve in the near future.
Awesome game!
Great vid as always Saberman, much appreciated.
could we get a windows version?
No. No plans at all. It is available on Steam for Windows, however.
