Once the files had been extracted, they were replaced on a new disk. This is why the files in the WT version are not in the same place as on the disks containing the original version, MST or RYL.

I wish it were true, but I won't play the game to find out. Like everyone else, I'm fallible and can make mistakes.


The difference between my version and WT's is probably imperceptible.
In such cases, I amplify the defect to make it easier to find out where in the game the defect occurs. Then I compare version A with version B at the key moment when the fault occurs. When it's a background, I compare the 2 screenshots to visualize the impact of the defect. But sometimes it's a sprite, a sound or a music...
it's sometimes impossible to tell the difference

Miasto Smierci v1.5 (1996-07-18)(L.K. Avalon)(PL)(Disk 1 of 3)[cr WT]
http://wt.exotica.org.uk/polish.html
WT (3d) + crackfix
I don't know if this release is already fixed? I can't also find crackfix
Here is a link to another version which should be 100%:

I couldn't find a crackfix and honestly don't know what to think of the PPA version. It looks like the original untouched version. The protection is supposed to be Copylock with a game coded in AMOS ... well...
I've added the PPA version and a playable demo.

Playable demo have a name "MOA". It was changed later to "Miasto Smierci" because of many reasons

I think the HOL sheet could be improved if you had any suggestions for them:

I can share the demo if you don't have it

I didn't follow the discussion, but do you mean to add the pre-release name?

I think it's interesting to note that the name of the game changed during its development, right up to the commercial version.
The demo is in The Zone!

[TCD]

I've added 'MOA' as a pre-release name to the entry (visible tomorrow).

Thanks for the additional information added on HOL.
It can still be useful, even for me in a few weeks! Ah ... old age

It seems i was wrong. In fact it's version 3.0. Take a look on screen below:

[Crashdisk]

The version number is given as information and is particularly useful for distinguishing two (or more) distinct distributions.
As the program doesn't highlight its version, perhaps the best solution is to leave it blank...

I have reviews from amiga magazines about v1.0 and v3.0 so version number in this case could be handy...

[42E31F45] Lowca Glow (1996)(L.K. Avalon)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr WT]

It found out that game isn't fully cracked so flag [b crack] should be added

More info here:

[Crashdisk]

For Pisarz, the change is taken into account for the next release of TOSEC.
For Lowca Glow, It's too late, but maybe that will give us time to get a fix for the crack
