Solid Gold released!

[cdoty]

This could've easily been a commercial release during the Amiga's life, well done.

Out of curiosity, what tools did you use to develop this?

I'm assuming vasm and vlink, but what about graphics and sound tools?

Just found an easy way to run old Amiga games without the need for WinUAE (or Kickstart):
http://pnacl-amiga-emulator.appspot.com/

Cloanto provides the kickstart rom for $0.99, for use in Chrome.

You can read it in the readme.

When installing you have three options to choose:

1. Install from real drive
2. Install from ADF
3. Install from IPF.

Choose the second option and without any problems you can install the game without having DF0: in the system.

What can i say! What an awesome game this is. Just tested it with my A500 (ACA500 equipped) and all i can say is that i got hooked. If only i had more spare time! I'm waiting for a boxed version too. I would definitely buy it. Thanks for this wonderful Xmas present.

I utterly and undeniably suck at this game. Ive spent a few hours and not gotten past the first level.
Ive stopped blaming the game though This really is a great one.

It is not very difficult. Check the longplay

from your countryman Hipponios.

I had to enable trainer. Level 1 complete with 31 lives lost. I suck at arcade games gimme Civ or Football Manger and i'll kick your asses. Gimme R-Type I can't get past the first level for last 10 years trying on Amiga, C64 and ZX

Works nicely on A1200 with BPPC deactivated (2nd version of Solid Gold ). Great and tricky game !

Confirmed working flawlessly, thanks.

I used the WHDLOAD install, worked just fine.

I did a little video -> [ Show youtube player ]

I had to hack my Indy settings a little to get it to run full screen, all looking good now

I have finished the game yesterday. I have enjoyed it sooooo much and remembered the good old days. Thanks so much phx bros!

I did an extensive chat with the authors, they were very kind to answer all my questions :-)
I'll post a link when it will be published, it's full of interesting tidbits.

By the way, Solid Gold qualified 2nd on the Amiga Games Awards 2013 by the French webzine Obligement:

Just wanted to mention it ;-)

But the game comes with a floppy too, which I feel is the right way to play it. Only if you have, say, a CD32, it makes sense to have a disc.

(also that's some really poor shipping packaging on the video above, box can easily get crushed)

Not for CD32 owners, the disc isn't bootable!
