For the .adf version I upped Memory to 2 MB Chip 8 MB Fast, and left the two Optimize options below unchecked. It gave me a choice for Amiga Model where I used A1200/3.1.

Cheers. I'd tried everything memorywise but it was 3.1 that made the difference.

There's a set of 100 extra galaxies for this game.
I've extracted the .OID galaxy files from the Atari ST disks mentioned at this post:

I don't have ftp upload access being as I haven't made 50 posts, but if these files are allowed, I expect someone could upload them for me?

I'd be very interested in making my way through these. I tried looking ages ago for a site dedicated to just this thing but gave up in the end. I'm not sure there's a real passion for this game unfortunately with Amiga owners but I'm an Oids nut from the ST days

Oids and Dungeon Master were my favourite games back in my Atari ST days. I was gutted when I swapped my ST for an Amiga back in 1988 and found out Oids wasn't available!

There's some rubbish amongst those extra galaxies, but you should find a few worth playing.

Yeah same thing here as I just assumed the game would be on the Amiga. It was a very sad day finding that out

I'm all set to try these out tonight and will no doubt see some gems among the stinkers but that will be fun in itself

Thanks again pal

DamienD asked he to post this.

Thank you DataBasic for the additional user sets of new "Galaxies"

Cool that these are from the Macintosh version, but still work in both the Atari ST & Amiga versions

In the packs provided there are 100 "Galaxies"... however, there are these:

... 2 x duplicate .OID files that are actually in the original Oids.
... 1 x .DED file that doesn't show up as a valid Galaxy.

So there are actually 97 new user Galaxies all up

Anyway, these work meynaf's port and I've now updated the .ADF with a nice menu in order to select either the original or user sets:

You can find this on the TURRAN FTP under the following folder:
