Adventure horroring : Scapeghost from Level 9
 

Could someone (easy guess who would be that someone :laughing ) WHD'fy Scapeghost (1989, Level 9) and/or Time & Magik : Trilogy (1988, Mandarin), plz ?






What is it (SG+T&M) ?
Both are text & graphics adventure games, respectively from level 9 & Mandarin (which AFAIK was a Level 9 subsidiary).
They bear a seemingly similar parser than the one of Gnome Ranger.


Why it's worth WHDf'ying SG (or T&M) INMHO
Both are trilogies. 3 games for the price of 1 ! Top bargain if you ask me !
SG being the last adventurer from Level 9
While not as great as the top level 9 ones, it's still enjoyable.
Tbh, Time & Magic might be the soft spot here, but the Lords of Time chapter is good on its own.

Also, you may be interested to know that (taken from guardiansofthepast.co.uk) :
"The trilogy of games that make up Time and Magik started out as single releases on the 8-bit platform. They were then enhanced and brought together for the first time to serve the later more powerful 16-bit machines. Enhancements included the introduction of a powerful new command interpreter, and an extended text which provided a larger vocabulary to expand gameplay."


There are much better games out there (Operation Wolf FTW!)
Ahem... Sure ! Reload your ammo before you get blasta'd !


Scary (SG) ?
Depends. I'll assume some parts are.


Cracked ? do I need manual ?
SG doesn't seem to bear any manual protection
I got the manual and clue book of Time & Magik (it's Ma-giK, with a K) from Replacement Docs


SPS'd ?
SG : no, but again the game seems to be untampered with
T&M : yes, available

Time and magik install is nearly finished.
Other Level9 games are planned.

Please Psygore, there's something I have noticed :confused .

ScapeGhost bears a deemed superior (all other things being equal :) ) text interpreter, backward compatible with many of the other Level 9 games. Apparently, it's faster at displaying text & could bear other minor undocumented enhancements.

Could it be possible to make your Gnome Ranger slave compatible with the

• menu
• game1 (bigger of 44 octets)
• picproc

files of ScapeGhost ?

You can try this "at home" :
Copy the content of the ADF of Gnome Ranger onto your HDD, replace the text interpreter files with those of a Scapeghost copy.
Run "menu" and see the (minor, certainly) differences.

Psygore has just finished coding Scapeghost WHDLoad :great ! He must enjoy exploring the snazzy Level9 interpreter.
My guess is Time & Magik is next in line.

Keep'em coming :crazy !

Wow, so you went on doing this one too. many thanx !
For those who didn't know, Ingrid's Back is the follow-up to Gnome Range.
