Did they really never had to pay anything to H.R. Giger or the producers of the Alien-movies?

The craft looks like the Amiga-sprite in the Turrican II-shmup levels. Nice.

yeah, judging by the developer it is the same craft

No, I mean it has the same shape. Of course it looks more "16bitty" on the Amiga...

And humbleworm confirmed it.

Btw., the sprite in the Amiga-version of Katakis looks completely different. Are the level layouts the same?

Have a look for 'Turrican 2' john

It's not just a coincidence

(strange you never found that easter-egg...)

john4p · 14 June 2009, 09:33

Of course I didn't miss that. But still I was surprised the craft is the same...

humble worm · 14 June 2009, 21:18

64,130
sorry for the quality of the picture

TodaysForgotten · 15 June 2009, 01:00

this game is weird. What the hell do you do after the first boss? I guess i'll figure it out.

TodaysForgotten · 15 June 2009, 01:28

Nevermind, the game is glitchy. 4th level boss is interesting and perhaps a bit unpredictable.

227,710

humble worm · 15 June 2009, 13:45

c'mon guys, you have voted for the bloody shooter so now play it!

TCD · 15 June 2009, 13:51

It's only the second day and some of us actually have jobs...

Will try to get into Megaball 4 at least a bit during the week and play some Katakis next weekend. Just be patient young Padawan

mihcael · 15 June 2009, 13:55

whats a good emulator to use?

TCD · 15 June 2009, 14:01

WinVICE, even if its interface is quite 'overloaded' : http://www.viceteam.org/

Graham Humphrey · 15 June 2009, 14:02

I may try and fit a game of this in after my evening out - haven't really had the time to give the EMPL a proper go but would like to start rectifying that situation

Yeah I also have a job (and it even pays taxes!), but it was sunday yesterday

I use CCS64, its very simple (within 10 minutes I got it all sorted out and Im not very geeky person) Katakis freezes on it often, but I guess the disk we are supposed to use is a bit buggy

mihcael · 15 June 2009, 14:19

how do i get past the screen that says Trainer or Highscore?!

TCD · 15 June 2009, 14:23

Press 'H' for hiscores

mihcael · 15 June 2009, 14:30

what controls should i be using, freezes when i touch my joypad (which i configured for joystick1)

never owned a 64, man people must of had patience back in the day, im going to bed!!

humble worm · 15 June 2009, 14:33

aye, setting controls took me 9 of the 10 minutes mentioned. dunno about joypads, but I think I have to follow john's advice and buy myself one for emulation
what emulator do you use? if its CCS64 Ill take a look at the configurations when I am home, maybe Ill be able to help

I think its about emulation - imagine somebody who never had A500 and compare his chances for loading game on a real gear and on winuae
