HOL Contributors Wanted!

[lilalurl]

Thank you for the details. Should be uploaded tonight/tomorrow unless someone beats me to it.

[stainy]

I see that there are a bunch of ADI ( Educational ) titles in HOL.

I have a program... well, it`s not in HOL... but technically it`s not a game... but neither is the ADI stuff..

It`s called Micro English by LCL... would this be needed??

Thanks.
Got the file and took a quick look. It just need a bit of cropping it seems, so I will take care of that tonight and then upload it.

The Tornado Manual was written für the PC version. Three major changes occured in the conversion of the product to the Amiga:
1 - The Mission Planner was removed.
2 - The Combat "Command" option was removed.
3 - Campaigns are now preset and do not require missing planning.

Other than these changes, the Amiga and PC versions are very similar and most of the manual still applies.

Thank you very much Independent

[Independent]

Hello

I've found some stuff round my Dad's house and scanned it which, may or may not be useful for the Hall of light?

http://250kb.de/u/130422/g/n1SaJQQ2j9vE.gif

It consists of Mike Read's Computer Pop Quiz box scan and manual (as promised TCD )

An strange Archipelagos box scan and Manual

An Electronic Art's Flyer which must have come with a game once apon a time.

A Bubble Bobble manual

A Taito Flyer which came with Bubble Bobble

Can someone talk very slowly and advise if these are wanted and how I get them on to the HOL please?

PS first box I found at my dad's so hopefully there may be more....

[TheCyberDruid]

Hey... looks like you've already scanned it all That's handy

JPG (or PNG) would be better (next time), but those PDFs should be okay. You can upload them to the HOL FTP (http://hol.abime.net/hol_faq.php?section=contributions) with FileZilla for example to a new folder with your nick there

It's a tad too small to see what you really have, but from the descriptions it sounds like you have some needed stuff

If you need more pointers, don't hesitate to write me a PM

Can't get on HOL during the day (Big Brother stops me) I'll have to do it on an evening on the wifes pink Laptop (the humiliation of it all)

Here's a typical scan.

Is the quallity of this too much or too little? Are Gif's ok?

http://250kb.de/u/130422/g/0Mf5cE996Pwb.gif

[TheCyberDruid]

Have a read later Basically we're happy about each scan we can get, but JPGs with a bit higher DPI setting (300 or above) would be better. These indeed look a bit too low quality (but still better than nothing).

[TheCyberDruid]

And there's Chat Rob's first contribution: http://hol.abime.net/2477

Every great journey starts with a single step.

Or in this case a Mike Read box scan (you guys have done all the cool games already)

[quahappy]

After much sweat, tears and too much cursing (!), I successfully got up to Level 7 for the game Solomon's Key and have submitted several screenshots so hope I haven't ballsed this up....

All screenshots (and a text file) or within a folder called Solomons_key residing at ftp.abime.net

Oh, and thanks TCD for your assistance (via PM).

[TheCyberDruid]

You are very welcome I'll be back fully (currently on vacation) after the 4th and will add your screenshots then Thank you very much for them

Cheers, TCD. Errrr.... what the heck you doing on EAB? Go and enjoy your vacation!!

[TheCyberDruid]

Just saw that you've reached level 8

Screenshots added: http://hol.abime.net/6009/screenshot

First three points for screenshots awarded too (they were perfect btw). Keep it up

[quahappy]

Thanks TCD! I'm working on screenshots for other games too (can't say when they'll be uploaded but will post here when I do).

Noticed this though for Solomons Keys...

When clicking on screenshot n*3 - there's no image.

And different images appear when clicking on screenshots n*4, n*5, n*7, n*8, n*9, n*10.

[TheCyberDruid]

Yay! The old HOL problem... I'll fix that now

Please create a folder with your nickname for the next uploads Looking forward to them

Edit: HOL should be fixed for the Solomon's Key screenshots now.

Tonight’s installment will consist of manuals....

Silkworm, nice pre story, 4 languages
Paperboy, very basic, 4 languages
Paperboy 2, very long for some reason, 4 languages
3D Pool very complex instructions should be useful to those who want to play this, only in English unfortunately

I'll get them over to you on the pink laptop once the kids have gone to bed

[TheCyberDruid]

Looking forward to it

[Chat Rob 1]

More to look forward to tonight

A manual for NEBULUS

and

A HEAD OVER HEELS, manual

HOH was a bitch to do the page was larger than A3 so I've had to divide it in to small sections so it makes sence, any way you'll see.

[Chat Rob 1]

Today's contribution is...

It came from the desert, Manual/Map/Misc shots
TRIVIAL PURSUIT GENUS, Original Box scan and Manual.

[TheCyberDruid]

Great stuff Especially ICFTD deserves to have the manual

[Chat Rob 1]

I have to say I was surprised there was nothing on HOL for it, but the manual is very basic so that's why no ones bothered probably. the B&W poster map's nice though.

[Chat Rob 1]

Today's contribution is...

Miroprose soccer, A great flyer / catalogue of old games from 1990 which was in the box
FA 18 interceptor, Original sleave back side which isn't on hol.
Gauntlet II, Alternative multi language manual.

And

Some The New Zealand Story Misc shots and alternative Manual....

[TheCyberDruid]

And another goes right to you

[Chat Rob 1]

And the last of my collection that isn't on Hol already is.

Cool Croc Twins, Manual/Poster
and Tournament Golf, Box front / back and Manual

Glad to be of service

All I have now is things I've picked up from exhibitions over the years which might make some nice misc shots.

I have to say I quite enjoyed going through the old boxes, checking HOL, sharing the unusual things I have.

I recommend you do it if you haven't already.

[TheCyberDruid]

Thank you very much Chat Rob for the contributions Quite a bit of very useful and nice stuff turned up

Well put If everybody does a little we'll get all the stuff that came with the games eventually. You helped to get closer to that goal

[Chat Rob 1]

Thanks for your patience and support TCD, there's no way I'd have done it with out you're help

I'm now quite handy on MS Pic Editor if you need any help but use The zone and not filezilla so I can help in the day

[TheCyberDruid]

Actually... there are some pending contributions that need a lot of 'love' I'll get in touch with you tomorrow and see if you can help out there Thank you very much for the offer

[Chat Rob 1]

You are welcome
