Arctic Moves

[demoniac]

Having revisited Navy Moves recently, there was mention of an upcoming sequel called Arctic Moves. Dinamic dissolved and the game was never released until 1995, where it appeared on the PC. Apparently, the Atari ST version surfaced circa 2001 via Luis Mariano Garcia. I think this would be a great item for the aGTW team to pursue.

From the two Spanish links below, it seems that the Amiga version was 90% done.

(I had to use a language translator, so maybe I'm missing some vital information.)

Well, i have read the wholw thing, and basically, he says that the Amiga version was a little bit done, but atari ST version weas 90% , so a couple of years later the programmer finished it.
I cant get in touch with them (i speak spanish), and try to see if we can trace this game, in Amiga version, what do you think?
Cheers!

Sebastian,

It would be great if someone contacted the programmer. Not sure if CodyJarrett had any luck tracking him down, but perhaps you can contact the guys at computeremuzone.com to see if they have Luis Mariano Garcia Corral's email? It might be good to point them to aGTW's website, and tell them that the Amiga community wants to preserve the Amiga version. I'm sure if the Amiga version is only 90% done, someone like CFOU! would be able to finish the rest -- especially if we can obtain the source code and we already have the Atari ST version available.

I found this addr, luism@recoletos.es , but I doubt it's the same guy.

Please update us on any progress.

Cheers!

I can try a go at this, with today's tools, it would be easy to find this guy.

Hey, that'll be great. I wasn't able to get far with this, but it'll probably help if I knew Spanish. When Gavilan last checked, the webmaster of http://computeremuzone.com had lost the author's email info.

No problem. Just port the ST version. Presto, another hohum game for Amiga.

[Gavilan]

Actually, i never got a response...strange tough...

But i recall also about Artic Moves "coming to Amiga soon..."

:(

Not a big deal, but here's your PM from 05 May 2006 which read:

Hi!! i just received an email form the webmaster of the page, telling me that long time ago he could talk to programmers, taht ST version was 100% completed, that amiga version was still in progress, but he lost all contact, he even lost the emails form the programmers

I will try to hunt down them, to see if we can get at least what was done of arcti Move before it vanishes

Cheers & have a nice weekend
