Switch Quiz
I noticed there is (almost) no info available about Switchquiz http://hol.abime.net/?id=2239. At the moment I have a full 2-page review of this game in CU Amiga at home.
Do you prefer some pictures, the whole review, or nothing? |

The whole review would be good.
I'm still looking for this game, if anyone has it. |

If I remember correctly the game came on 1 disk, a control panel device and two switch-sticks. I don't know whether the game is runable without these hardware devices. The graphics looked horrible.
Oh well, watch out for the complete review within the next couple of days... |

Switch quiz review in The Zone
I have uploaded the two-page review in The Zone. It was originally published in CU Amiga, April 1994.
I hope the quality of the scan is acceptable. I always have big trouble scanning in pages from the new-style CU Amiga. The pages are a bit larger than A4-format and a real pain to scan in. |

I wrote Switchquiz
Hi, I have just bought an old Amiga A600 for nostalgic purposes and thought I'd search around the net for old games etc. I then thought about if anyone had any posts about SwitchQuiz ... the game I wrote for Switchsoft when I was a student, I thought it was a bit of fun not realising that it would make national magazines etc.! I came across your post and thought "wow it can't of disappeared then". I have all the original disks, hardware and most of the original magazine reviews etc. tucked away in a cupboard. As an original die hard Amiga fan if you need anything let me know.

How can I get the disks converted to ADF format ? I've got a PC, are there any utilities for converting the disks to ADF format using the PC floppy drive, I know that the Amiga floppy disk sectors are read differently to that of a PC ?

The best way would be to use one of the many amiga apps (transdisk etc) on a real amiga and lha or LZX it up
Then format a 720kb disk (on amiga side) and copy the files onto it then onto your pc |

Gary K. seems to have disappeared again.
And worse, he doesn't allow e-mails sent to him, so I cannot remind him to come back here. Damn! Looks the only chance to get this game back to light of day again has gone down the drain. |

Hey, hi, hello ........... First apologies, a long time gone I know but I'm back and just resurrected my A600 and SwitchQuiz - don't fall off your chair. I've just moved house and found the original source code disks, games, controllers needed for SwitchQuiz (2 and 4 player) and then remembered you guys.
I've just taken some videos and photos of the game which I'll share. Big shout out to you keeping the Amiga legend going :-) |
