HOL Unfinished Game Maps

[demoniac]

Hi clenched, I didn't get your message in time as I just uploaded the missing Bonus Room 2 with a screenshot of where it appears. Thanks for playing the level.

BTW, I don't think I ever found the secret passage for Level 6. Thus, Joe Maroni definitely grab that from the clenched archive.

In addition, I never found the Level 2 Brick Room, so clenched maybe you could take a look? Thanks.

I'm almost positive I visited the brick room but didn't pay much attention since it doesn't look like Joe is doing those. I have a ton of savestates besides the ones uploaded so I'll look again.

EDIT:
There is a red balloon carrying a blue object. Shoot the balloon and grab the object to enter brick room. I don't think a picture will help because the balloon seems to drift in and out of nowhere at different times and places.

EDIT2: No, I gave you a bum steer. That was for level 6. After 4 passes no brick room found on level 2.

You're welcome. Here is a cheat code you can publish on HOL. When you see the guy with green hair (#1 HOL screen shot) hold down joystick fire and both mouse buttons. When the language flags appear it is OK to let go. This starts the game with 8000 gold, infinite energy and lives. Used SPS disk for optimum reliability.

[Joe Maroni]

Thanks for this...how did you found this cheat?

I've added it to HOL.

BTW: Does anyone have savestates of each mission for Watchtower? I found the data and like to compile each map of the game...the first is already done...

EDIT: there are some levelcodes in Amiga CU and they seem to work with the ipfs of the game....after entering the levelcodes the game asks for the manual protection. sadly i don't own it...
using the levelcodes with a cracked version don't work...this makes sense...the manual protection is skipped in those versions....

Use WinUAE trainer to find where the gold is kept. Then do fa command to see who uses that address. The part at A looked promising for a lot of gold. It never runs because of B so fa again to see who uses B. Set a breakpoint at C, boot game, press buttons and wait for something to happen.

Interesting...

For Watchtower:
Let me guess you found them in the savestates? I had a deeper look too and found some cheatcodes for the game that have been added to HOL cheatcode entry....

Thanks for taking a look.

After sorting out all my old Son Shu Shi savestates, here is the breakdown for the brick rooms that I located:

Level 1 -- 1 brick room
Level 2 -- none found
Level 3 -- none found
Level 4 -- 1 brick room
Level 5 -- none found
Level 6 -- 3 brick rooms

Did you find any others that I missed?

I only looked closely at level 2.
Right now I'd give anything for a level skip for the AGA game I want to do next. There is an OCS trained version on the EAB server. It for this face that only a mother could love.

[Joe Maroni]

Do you like to do the Chaos Engine 2 AGA maps?
There is a trained AGA version in Tosec with level skip option.

EDIT: look in the zone

[clenched]

Hold on. Increased the search limit, now found a bunch of the AGA stuff!
