That was a bit out of the blue wasn't it?

BippyM · 22 September 2003, 23:07

Whats this?

Haynor responded to the Database of unreleased games thread?

OK . Here are scans

I've post this to inform that this game PC version and maybe Amiga version should be marked as "PC conversion" but maybe this game originally designed for Amiga

. Since is only available on PC I think not.

The game was a PC game, aimed mostly at the US market (I think it was written by a couple of American developers). An Amiga version was made later on, but it was a dreadful port directly from the PC one and ran at about 2 frames per second so got binned. Even on the PC's of the time (486 33's) the frame rate was pretty poor, so a straight code conversion stood no chance on the Amiga.

Aye, I'd like to nab this version. Any chance?

PC one or the Amiga one?

The PC one is at the Home of the Underdogs. I'm almost certain that the Amiga one will never see the light. It was a pile of arse and it was over ten years ago. I only have a vague recollection of ever seeing it once and it's entirely possible that it was just deleted soon after it arrived in the office. I doubt that even the developers kept a copy of it seeing as they were obviously PC developers.

Even if it's arse, the Amiga version would rock for aGTW.

What about "Adv. of Lomax" - any plans for Amiga version ? This game almost identical to "Adv. of Flink". Very similiar graphic and sound also files has the same extension even I think game code is very similiar.

FromWithin · 24 September 2003, 21:31

The indication of saying that it was arse was that it was so poor that it's unlikely that anybody ever kept a copy of it. There maybe one up in the Psygnosis loft somewhere, but even that is doubtful.

Well, HOL would be happy about at least some screenshots!!
So if you - or someone else from Psygnosis (

) can provide some, we'd jump in the air!

@FromWithin, as the anticipated year of release is indeed 1993, I was just thinking that the game was canned due to the confiscation of computers from the dev team by the police as well!

BippyM · 16 November 2004, 19:18
