AI converts classic arcade game City Connection for Commodore Amiga

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

An experimental AI-powered conversion of the 1985 arcade game City Connection is being developed for the Commodore Amiga AGA platform. This project involved a 15-hour collaboration between a human play-tester and an AI model named ChatGPT-6 / Astra, which selected the game and built the conversion from scratch. The development process was highly iterative, with the AI handling tasks from initial concept to native code generation and bug elimination, aiming for a pixel-perfect arcade experience on a stock A1200.
