Silly question on my part, but is this a _very_ rare game?

It has never been (properly?) cracked, I think. Galahad is trying to pull the bastard apart, but it seems like a toughie!

[andreas]

small question: did you happen to take the screenshot (right half) from a REAL Amiga?

[Twistin'Ghost]

I can't remember (I did that a while back). But it was probably from the ST...

[pulley]

i don't belive it, i loved this game back in the day and was all set to relive the past. some day some how someone has to have this game cracked. and i'll be there. i will keep searching for it though.

[Twistin'Ghost]

pulley, a 100% crack is in production - perhaps by Christmas. In the meantime, I remembered where that screenshot came from! I remember I'd done one of those for the ST version just for laughs, but the one in this thread was done by Cody from his real Amiga. I'd almost forgotten. Here's another he made.

[pulley]

cool news twistin. i can then hopefully play it over xmas:)

slightly of the subject but...
my mate was throwing out his amiga and asked if i wanted it.
i mean a mint condition a1200 with an extra external disk drive three boxs of games and art programs.

is it me or was he a little silly, the amiga to me is the best computer EVER. o.k pc's now days have better graphics, some good game play but you can make a game in like three days. where as the amiga still good graphics for what specs it has but the games are so much harder and more fun to play!. my mate and i spent the best part of sixth form eating stacks of toast and playing monkey island. don't you agree?.

silly is an understatement of the century .. he is crazy to throw out his amiga!! .. The good news is he asked if you wanted it and this is where you pounce :D I agree 100% with you view on amiga games, so much more fun and challenging then the crusty stuff they are producing today.

[Twistin'Ghost]

Agreed. The man was silly, but justified since he passed this jewel on to a loving home that will appreciate it. The same can be said for any retro box, but it just has more substance if it's an Amiga. And I wouldn't say the PC today has better graphics, just a higher spec default. The creative element today is severely diminished, so I often prefer the Amiga gfx. Especially in games. More limitations on a spec forces the user to be more creative - I have found this to be the case in music and film/video production, as well. It doesn't guarantee a better end result, it just offers the possibility if the talent is there in the first place. You'll see this in so many 8-bit games, as well. (and even in the coin-op games)

Now for my off-topic: in the sixth form...I realize this is a grade level designation in Europe (or just the UK?) and my earliest recall of it is in the song "Mary of the Fourth Form" by The Boomtown Rats. Here in the States, we have first grade through 12th grade and those are separated by elementary/grade/grammar school (usually 1-6 grade), junior high school (usually 7, 8 and/or 9th grade) and high school (10-12, sometimes 9th). So what is the equal rankings in Europe/UK?

[alkis21]

No pulley your friend is right. Why would anyone want that piece of junk? Just give it to me and I'll properly dispose it. http://smilies.uniquehardware.co.uk/contrib/lynx/pinkchinees.gif

Well excuuuuuuseeee meeeee!!!
Mr "I hate Atari St"

:) :rolleyes :p

Pulley, you can actually play the game on your Atari St emulator. The game is easily found. And, the game was originally developed on the Atari St.

[pulley]

in my day at school.

you had 1st year through to 4th year in first school and middle school.
high school had 2nd year through to 4th year, and the last year was 5th form, but the last year i was there they brought in sixth form,kind of like first year of collage, to retake gcse's that you did bad in and to do a few new courses like electronics and the likes. but nowdays it is the same as the states with grades like 7th through to 11th or something like that.

[Twistin'Ghost]

Forms....sheesh! And you Europeans think baseball is confusing! :D

[Antiriad]

OH MY GOD!!!!
Look what i happened to find on Ebay!!!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1391471614

Needless to say Ive placed a bid on this!
(Im Moosechops)
If all goes well i can send it off to one of the Whdload crew! Thus saving them some trouble so they can bin trying to fix the dodgy crack.

And theres always CAPS to consider.

[Twistin'Ghost]

Don't pay a ridiculous price for this game. It's not that rare; it's notoriety is due to there not being a 100% crack. I think the WHD guys have an original already; CAPS I'm not sure about.

[Antiriad]

The Whdload guys DO?
Dang! Then why the talk of rehashing the dodgy crack for a Xmas gift? Whos best to ask? Galahad?

I have to admit i was suprised to see a scan of it on Exotica. Made me think that someone out there also has a copy.

I could always retract my bid.... i will if everyone else thinks i should.

[Dizzy]

0.8£ that an ok price, so keep up the bed.

[Akira]

How much did you actually bid for it?

[Twistin'Ghost]

Well, actually the talk isn't really of rehashing the dodgy crack, but re-cracking it. At least that was the impression I had. I'm pretty sure Codetapper bought a copy from ebay.

[Antiriad]

I bid £25 max... i know i know, sounds overdone but i seriously doubt itll need to get to that. Im not sure if the average Ebayer sees it as a rare game. Just a precaution really.

I can always ask ol Codetapper if he has genuine copy already.
If he has, ill withdraw the bid. Not unless CAPS really wants it of course as Im in the UK also.

[Antiriad]

Well...looks like what i last wrote was a load of old shash as ive already been outbid! Doh! :eek

I can live with it if its somebody from here mind...although it doesnt look like it.

Roll on Xmas i say :D

[Galahad/FLT]

...still, if you bothered to read threads, you would all know I paid £40 for it off Ebay five months ago.... I have the original.... it will be released for Christmas... WHD.... and ADF..... haven't I said this before???

No worries, we have a 100% correct copy of this game already - but thanks for thinking of the cause. Actually nicely enough, it was donated to us as mentioned on our credits page.

Also good news is that the packaging is all in *mint* condition, so the scans (Box, manual, disk etc.) that should come with the release will be of very high quality.

New WIP should be up Saturday.

Shouldn't we give them new nicknames eventually? :laughing

The project, if completed as claimed by Galahad, is a project to remove the protection and re-release a fully working crack of the ORIGINAL again, it has been stated this could be a christmas present this year.

Galahad sourced a copy of an unaltered original and is working from that, he has already removed the protection I believe.

Not that buggy POS crack thats circulating, not that I dont play the POS crack just for sentimental purposes. :laughing

[Antiriad]

Cheers for the clear up. I apologise for acting gung ho on my own iniative without reading up properly on this.

I was just trying to help, as i view Whdload as the one of the most important thing to happen to the Amiga and am always happy to supply originals to the guys for the benefit of the Amiga loving community.

[Galahad/FLT]

Pack it in... you're gonna make me cry!! ;)
