defender of the crown ocs vs cdtv

[Luca underdog]

hi guys just simple question:
whats different between defender of the crown ocs and cdtv version?
apart the sound (speech and music) and the life bars of cdtv version theres other differents?
thanks

[kamelito]

The CDTV include a documentation other than that I don’t think that there’s more differences. What bugs me is that RJ Mical is not cited in the credits.

Wasn't the OCS version missing some parts that were e.g. available in the ST version? Maybe these parts are also in the CDTV version? (I've never played the CDTV version myself)

Here's a thread talking about the version differences on Amiga/CDTV/CD32: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=105500

Reading that thread it was not settled about the cdtv version

The file structure is certainly different on the CDTV disc from the floppy release. I was thinking I could make floppies from the disc files but no way.

Most likely this won't 'settle' it either. Just a reminder that searching the forum before starting a new thread is always a good idea.

fair

To be actually constructive: Maybe somebody could test all three versions (Floppy Amiga, CDTV and DOTC2) and list the differences found regrading gameplay, graphics and sound. Reading the other thread makes it quite obvious that it's rather subjective as to which version is 'better' and actually talking about how the versions differ might be a better idea.

RJ was not happy with the development.
He felt he wasn't told the truth about the actual amount of work needed given the timeline, and wasn't happy with the result, so he asked for his name to not be included.

I always felt bad about that, because even tho it wasn't perfect, I really liked it and thought it was a lot of fun...

I think that can be good idea. Perhaps DOTC Extended version can be ripped/extracted from CD's. On YT video all mentioned 4 Amiga versions are started from UAE on PC and Mac.

Please do

[derSammler]

Oh, great. Even a moderator approves someone uploading a game that can still be bought, which makes it a still-active IP no matter of the platform. I guess piracy on the Amiga never stops. Why do the rules even say this is not allowed here when no one cares?
