I just found out about this one (even though it was released over 2 years ago!)

A guy on IRC converted DropZone for me like that. I have a .prg that runs directly from native 128 mode and the whole thing works perfectly, no need for go64 anymore.

Apparently it's "not that hard" to convert and it just feels better running them native

Games that don't fill the entire memory can be easy to convert but a game with a bitmap at $e000 can be a massive undertaking to convert since a lot needs to be rearranged. It is the registers at $ff00 on the C128 that gets in the way.

Compared to the C64 version, there are no sound effects nor music on this C128 version. Also when you die, the shoe comes down, but there is no leg attached to the boot as in the C64 version. The C128 version has no title screen with animation and music.

That is rather surprising! It would indicate that it isn't a straight C64 version modification since audio would work out of the box without modifications.

Right. It seems to be an incomplete port of another platform.
