Tennis Champs I think was made in AMOS - an Addictive "cartoony" game which originally was posted to a famous Amiga Magazine for inclusion on a coverdisk (Full Game - Freeware). I believe they then went on to make/release a commercial game of it at a later date which looked practically the same.

I reviewed the game, and its downloadable from my site too.

Reading back a few threads, I read somewhere that Jet Strike was created in AMOS too.

@Amiten...

Those games are looking good, man! Especially Amivania!

Nice work. The graphics really are particularly good, and the music is fitting as well.

But just a suggestion... the jumping motion on Castlevania is very strange, he goes straight up diagonally and then comes straight down diagonally again. I see this a lot in the AMOS games. Really he should move in move of a parabola trajectory because of gravity. It's easy enough to do, simply give him an upwards velocity when he jumps and accelerate him downwards at a constant rate. In fact I find a little bit of acceleration/inertia in all directions makes controlling a character just that little bit more fun, and it feels more professional.

Thanks for reporting. I have added a note in the HOL entry. I don't know if the review by itself is proof enough to warrant the AMOS quickmatch. I'll let members of the top team decide.

From the executable of the game:

Code:

AMOS_System/Music.Lib :AMOS_System/Compact.Lib :AMOS_System/Request.Lib  :AMOS_System/Compiler.Lib :AMOS_System/Serial.Lib

Added the quickmatch

Thanks for the heads up MrX_Cuci

Good investigation

You checked it via an hex editor? Or something else?
Would this work for any game made in AMOS (if such a case was to rise again)?

TCD · 21 February 2013, 22:08

I had to install the game and then simply search for the text 'AMOS' inside the main executable. AMOS leaves its traces

Since AMOS games (usually) come on ADos disks you could simply copy all files to a folder based HD within Win/FS-UAE and check with your favourite Windows/MacOS/Linux tool (or an Amiga one directly of course). I hope you get the idea

Yes, as The CyberDruid has already said, AMOS will at the very least leave a list of all AMOS and 3rd party extensions in ASCII within the executable.
If the AMOS.library isn't included in the executable then the game must be run using the RAMOS program which will also be present as a separate file.

Should the game be compressed (or encrypted) in some way then the last resort is to eject the disk when the game attempts to read/write to it (dangerous I know, so only do this with copies NOT originals...). If it was made in AMOS (or AMOS Pro) you will get an AMOS requestor appear! (NB: Some programs may switch off the AMOS requester and tell it to use the workbench one instead)

Some AMOS games still leave Control+A (switch between game and Workbench) and Control+C (halt program) active, but this is not 100% reliable as someone may program those features in deliberately to software made in other languages.

Starbase 13 and Epsilon 9, nice adventure games from Edmund W. Clay.

lilalurl · 21 February 2013, 23:48

Thanks for the details TCD and Lonewolf10. Nice to have some rather foolproof methods of checking that.

Anyone still coding Amos?

Mrs Beanbag · 11 March 2014, 11:43

I still code AMOS, although not games but my development tools are all written in AMOS.

I have an old AMOS game I never released, I was thinking about it the other day, I should probably release it.

Have you already looked at AROS Vision? It includes AMOS Pro with lots of extensions.

Mrs Beanbag · 11 March 2014, 12:05

I haven't but I am really moving away from it now to be honest, I can write my own extensions anyway if I need them.
