NOTE:  I am posting this for a friend.  As time is of the essence, please
       contact him directly.  If he doesn't get a response in the next few
       days, he may have to turn down the proposal.


** WANTED **

Experienced AMIGA sofware developer(s) to convert a Nintendo system game to the
AMIGA on a contract basis.  Satisfactory completion of this game may lead to
contracts for additional games, including coin-operated conversions selected
by you and (perhaps) original AMIGA games.  Because the project deadline is
only a few months away, the developer or development team must be able to start
before the end of January.

DETAILS:

Banana Development, Inc., is a Milwaukee-based home-computer games company
specializing in IBM PC and Apple II/IIe/gs conversions of coin-operated
videogames under contract for major software vendors.  Banana Development is
well-connected, with contacts at companies such as Konami, Mindscape, EA, and
ATARI Games, Inc. (the coin-operated game company, owned by NAMCO).  They have
just received their first AMIGA proposal and, due to a shortage of programmers
and a long learning curve, are looking for an experienced AMIGA programmer or
a team of programmers who can complete this first game by late-April/early-May.

The initial game is an AMIGA version of the Nintendo home game Castlevania,
which should be easy to program on the AMIGA.  The game has a horizontally-
scrolling playfield, two-voice music, and players must take turns in the
two-player mode.  Banana Development can provide a Nintendo machine with the
game cartridge and the services of an artist, who can travel and work with
you for several weeks.

The salary is between $10,000 and $15,000, depending on experience, as
demonstrated by public-domain and/or commercial AMIGA software.  Although most
of the money will, of course, be paid on completion, Banana Development is
pretty flexible about payment schedules.  They normally pay a weekly salary
with bonuses at project milestones.  If necessary, some advance money can be
arranged.

As stated above, time is short;  if no suitable Amigoid comes forward within
the next few days, they will probably turn down the proposal.  If their first
AMIGA game is well-received, Banana Development will be willing to take your
conversion requests and shop the titles to their clients.  After they establish
a track record of high-quality AMIGA games, they will be branching out into
original AMIGA game designs.
