Never heard of any of these games. Can they be downloaded anywhere?

Have you heard of Turtleminator? A very good game in Cannon Fodder style, which is also made by Alastair Murray. I think this is his best game.

Hanger 18 and Traitor are also quite good of course.

I read interview with Alastair Murray where is info that nothing left from old projects...

Amiga1992 26 October 2016 18:21

That sucks, I would like to see these games, especially the Skool Daze type game.

I have now Countdown to extinction running. I have difficulties with Kill em all, though. It runs on my real Amiga 1200 with blizzard, but it refuses to run under emulation (A1200 with 8MB fast) - it always gives me Out of Memory error during the start. Nevermind - did anyone manage to run XII? It immediatelly quits back to WB with "missing file" error after launch.

Yeah; even with most things in "SnoopDos" ticked for monitoring I get the following:

...no fails but the game doesn't load. Will try again tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

Predseda 28 October 2016 18:30

This game would need to be decompiled somehow :(

hipoonios 28 October 2016 18:57

No wonder at all that you could not get this game running. There is some hard-coded strings in the main file.

I got it running now. Not a game I would like to play.... guess it's more fun to play with friends.

Predseda 28 October 2016 19:04

Doesnt matter if good or not, but needs to be catalogized :)

Congrats to you, anyway! Tell us the wonder you made. Is it AMOS_Stuff/XII?

hipoonios 28 October 2016 19:10

That's right.

The files needs to be on dh1:

Just extract the files into this directory: DH1:AMOS_Stuff/XII/ and it should start.

Beside those, he had also created four tutorial games for Backbone, but I will not include those. Thanks to all you involved who helped me to find and / or run the games or contributed with screenshots. :great

rygar 28 October 2016 23:01

Only 2 of them are listed on HOL :(

Well; no point in complaining... Do something about it then :agree

Install the games, take screenshots and then finally upload for the HOL team to add...

Alastair Murray commented on my Turtleminator video on Youtube. He confirmed a bug making a level not possible to complete. He did a patch and now it can be played all to the end!

He uploaded the patch here. Guess it will also be on Aminet later.

The Turtleminator is definitely among the best Amiga PD games.

He also said he currently experimenting with doing a new version for PC.

I'm working on it :D

This game feels like an even more arcade version of Cannon Fodder on crack. Looks incredibly fun.
