Galactic Remix (Stavros Fasoulas/The One)

S. Campbell · 25 August 2003, 11:34

Hello viewers! Does anyone have the file of the full version of Galactic, which was only released as a The One coverdisk. A search here revealed that it does exist and that someone had apparently uploaded it to somewhere called "The Zone", but I can't locate it by clicking the link of that name at the top right.

Welcome to EAB, S(tuart?) Campbell.

You're right. The only full "Galactic" is a remixed version given out in a cover disk of The One.

You had to know all files in The Zone are up for a maximum of 4 days, that's why you haven't found this game, it was uploaded months ago!!!

Feel free to download now in The Zone. In the future, for any coverdisk, watch out a site called "Nth Dimension" (sorry, I haven't link here), you'll find a great bunch of stuff!

I went there, but could only find the demo version. (Which appeared to be bugged anyway - you couldn't pick anything up.)

Thanks in profuseness. If it works okay (and is as good as I remember it being in 1993), I think it'll be Emulation Of The Month in PC Zone next ish.

EDIT: Except it doesn't appear to work - like the demo, collision detection seems to be broken, you can't pick anything up, and you just die when the time limit expires. I found a "WHDLOAD" file, which may or may not help, but haven't the foggiest what to do with it. Anyone actually able to play Galactic?

That's about as much help as me saying "Argh, my car is on fire and I'm trapped in the seatbelt" and you wedging the technical manual into the radiator, man.

Welcome aboard Stuart! Hope you stick around for a while, you might be able to answer lots of questions people have here

As far as I remember, the Galactic XMAS game doesn't work in emulators. which version of WinUAE have you got? I can play teh game perfectly on my amiga, if it helps

I will look among my WHD CD and see if I have it in WHDLoad form for you, and up it to the zone. Will keep you posted!

the wolf · 25 August 2003, 21:42

Aren't you the Stuart Campbell editor of Amiga Format? No, eh?
I guess there are many Stuart Campbell out there, is the the reason why that "S" rings me a bell!

BTW: Galactic works perfectly with WinUAE 8.0.22 release 6, just check the collision to full!

Ups... you're right... sorry the misprinting...

Galactic WHD version (Both 1200 & 500 vers!!) is in the zone

If you need I can make an HDF for WinUAE to save you messing around.. just say man

I don't seem to remember the man Campbell uttering "man" a lot in his golden years..... the "man"s make me think of Zane Lowe a lot, funnily enough.

It's a Digiworld thing, man.

And wolf, setting collision detection to "full" sorted it perfectly. Cheers!

Way back in the day when I used to work at Grandslam we were in the process of negotiating to buy "Galactic"... Stavros wanted a pretty reasonable amount for it (as in "fair") but he could never come to an agreement with "the management". I remember part of the problem being the game would only run on A500's and he didn't want to spend any time on compatability issues. It was a bloody great game - although we never got a full version off him

*Bump*, interesting story on Galactic! Will the powers that be consider mentioning this on AGTW-yes we all know The Xmas edition was a giveaway sometime later but given this relates to the "original" version it (sort of) counts doesn't it?

Any other unreleased games infos from the Grandslam days?

killergorilla · 17 September 2006, 15:36

Does anyone have the adf/dms of this handy? If so, can they whack it in the zone?
