Hello Jeff and all, I seem to remember Down and then Right in the arcade or my Daphne Emulator (with certain ROMS) at one point. If you play the Home version of the iPhone port actually, it did accept Down and then Right (at the first occurrence though as I could have sworn it appeared a second time in the same game and that it needed Right Right that second time). It seems that the port is not perfect as I had hoped, here is part of my e-mail to the company I sent yesterday:
There are some things that are not true to the original (nor the Blu-Ray version) and I sure hope that you can improve with your next update:
1) Ropes scene - Dirk should be able to grab the first rope even before the ledge slips away from under his feet.
2) Underground River Ye Rapids - Dirk should be able to not only move up when he gets in the middle of the red river but also towards the middle with Right (or Left) moves.
3) From what I remember in the Yellow Room (Crumbling Ceiling), you should be able to go down and the right and not just right and then right as valid moves for this scene.
4) The first Elevator Floor scene that appears SHOULD NEVER be he reverse image where the scene opens with left side stair case and where Dirk is ready to jump to the right of screen. That is wrong, it was never a possible first Elevator Floor scene possibility back then in the arcade of the 80s.
I don't see any lagging on my iPod Touch 3G (it is so smooth that I don't see the point of playing any other port and perhaps not even the original arcade anymore).
The game seems to work great. Much better than the Blu-ray (disappointing) port for sure.
I am not crazy about the music they have added in the menu system but the UI for the menu itself is very nice.
Elio from Montreal.
