Switchworld ???

I think this is also one of 10 million unreleased AMIGA games?
It was a GLOOM / FEARS like game from Black legend.

Maybe somewhere is a rolling demo?
Or bettet---- a playable preview ???

Bump.

Just read an old Amiga One magazine and saw a preview for this game. It looked pretty damn neat. At the time of writing back then, it took up 5 disks, so it sounded like it was fairly complete. Plus they were working on the behind the iron gate or something. So its strange that this game never made it.

That's all what I have found in my scans collection.
Those pictures are from:
Amiga Game 1995 09
Amiga Power
The One issue 81

Interesting

...haven't read the thread before; was AWOL during this period.

Anyway, moved to a more appropriate section of EAB where it belongs

If there are any other unreleased games that lack screenshoots or previews ask me. I could have more stuff. Some time ago I was collecting various magazines in digital form. Since I am nutz on unreleased and beta stuff I took lot of screenshoots

As for Switchworld it could be very cool fps game. Probably only developers know why it was not finished.

Even a playable preview would be cool.

Author of the game is active on PPA forum :https://www.ppa.pl/forum/strefa-gier/7623/switchworld.

He has the game somewhere in his backups, it's not fully completed :

Code for AGA/Cd32 version is almost complete, along with level editor, dungeon gfx and sound.
Enemy gfx and anims are only partially done, som sound fx is missing, and there is only one out of 5 planned levels.

We are encouraging the author to finish the game, or at least release his archive to the community

Nice one meckert

Edit: and it looks like the engine demo is available on Aminet.

DamienD · 31 December 2018, 15:00

Decided to slap together a quick disk for this, attached

The requirements say the following:

Code:

AGA Amiga (1200/4000), 2MB Chip + 4MB Fast, 68030+

...but it also runs fine on a 68020 CPU.

Too bad Docent/Union doesn't have time to look for Switchworld stuff.

That's really disappointing. With that much press response there should be a pretty complete version.

Gzegzolka · 13 August 2023, 19:02

not sure where I found that, probably it was posted on PPA site when I first time ask about that game.
