I think an AGA version of this game dont exist.
The standard version works on A500, but the " Super Enhanced" dont work.
You need an Amiga with 1,5 Mb Ram.

See this:

I have the original here and the disks are labeled "Whale's Voyage Amiga 1200-4000". Which makes me believe that an AGA version of this very game exists.

Yep, the Amiga Joker reviewed Whale's Voyage AGA two month after the OCS/ECS version.

@Stingray:

Could you post the AGA disk images? I assume Jotd is still working on a WHDLoad patch.

It´s MIA, but you can find a boxshot here: http://hol.abime.net/5358/boxscan.

So, I´m sure it was released.

Not that I want to burst your bobble viddi, indeed the box looks genuine, but the "SUPER ENHANCED AMIGA 1200" sticker could be done by anyone.

Retro-Nerd · 26 August 2008, 10:20

Erm, Stingray already said that he has the AGA version.

viddi · 26 August 2008, 10:25

Okay guys, I will have another cup of coffee.

Shoonay · 26 August 2008, 10:26

@R-N: Ok, yes, I noticed that, really...

... just making fun of the sticker... get it?... a sticker in the Amiga world...

Please help to feed my brain.

Shoonay · 26 August 2008, 10:31

Ah, well, you know, just referring to some silly discussions from "here and there" about "my amiga has a sticker and thus it is the only real amiga, and your amiga doesn't and so it's a fake piece of shit.."

There are cr versions of this game. The cr-intro means it is AGA, but really its not.
Game works on a500, A600(1,5Mb) too.

Retro-Nerd · 26 August 2008, 17:48

The AGA version has only a few additional ingame screens (AJ review), that could be the difference to the OCS/ECS version.

This means "Super Enhanced A1200" does not take advantage of Aga-chipset.
In fact its not an Aga-Game?

Retro-Nerd · 26 August 2008, 17:58

Maybe, this wasn't unusual in the early Amiga 1200 era. But Stingray should know more about it.

mai · 26 August 2008, 18:08

A game, which works on A500/A600 is not an AGA-game!
Am i right?

Retro-Nerd · 26 August 2008, 18:15

Just checked the manual. They have done some A1200 improvements, but didn't specified which.

amigamemo · 26 August 2008, 18:46

sounds like Alien Breed Tower Assault (all versions on one disk with slight improvements for AGA user):

Of course you aren't. Games can check the machine/chipset and dis-/enable features depending on the configuration. So that a game works on a non-AGA machine doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't have AGA only features!

@StingRay
Have you checked version you own?

StingRay · 26 August 2008, 21:20

Not yet, might have a look at the gamecode tomorrow at work. In the manual it's written that the game automatically enables the advanced features and that you have the possibility to switch between music/soundeffects in the 3d parts.
