The colorful platformer Amigo the Fox, developed by Eric Hogan (earok) on the increasingly popular Scorpion engine, has finally jumped to players in all its glory. This game was a clone of Mario & Luigi, the famous IBM PC game by Mike Wearing without any regard for Nintendo. That platformer became quite popular among PC owners of the 90's, was included in countless pirate compilations and even sold by some clever fellows on a scheme Shareware for $ 15 (of course, without the knowledge of the author). Luckily, now Mario & Luigi can be downloaded for free from Mike's website.

As for Amigo the Fox, the levels, gameplay and controls here are plus or minus the same, but the graphics are different - in our opinion, more colorful than the original. It's important that thanks to Scorpion Engine the game with pixel-by-pixel parallax scrolling and lots of moving objects on the screen works well even on Amiga 500, and on Amiga 1200 it just flies. On another, weaker engine like Backbone or RedPill, a similar platformer would have required the 1200 as a base model, and it would have worked sleevelessly on that as well.

There are only six levels in Amigo the Fox and they run pretty fast, so don't expect much from the game. You can download it from official page on itch.io or from "Perfect Pixel".
