Reunion unreleased CD version

[ancalimon]

I remember someone uploading an unreleased CD version that had extra animations. I searched the file server but couldn't find it.

I even managed to implement those files to the game.

Never heard of that. I've checked the Amiga File Server and definitely not on there.

Also searched EAB threads and no mention of this.

Extra animations; do you still have the above?

Hmmm, there's no mk1 folder on Turran's FTP.

It must have been there when Magix was hosting the FTP.

Yup, have managed to download.

Put it in The Zone! to make it easier for others

Thank you! I hope there is a whdload version with the full intro and enhanced animations

It would be cool to put that special version in DamienD collection

Don't worry; already created a bare-bones .HDF and of course this will be in the next Update Pack

If anyone wants the .HDF, look here on the Amiga File Server: /~Uploads/DamienD/HDFs

[Amigajay]

Thanks for that, great find!

I have put together a CD32 ISO (in the zone) with a knocked up intro picture to select between intro and game.

Sadly the fake mouse trick using the 'lemmings planetside' disc naming made the intro crash, so a real mouse is required and no save to nv-ram is working.

So looks like its in-complete in that regard, although you get extra sfx and speech on in-game stuff compared to the A1200 HDD version, although i didn't play it further to find out what other extra stuff is included.

And it states 'Reunion CD32' in the credits section in the game too.

Saves work like the AGA version, but after extracting the archive you need to create a "SAVE" directory:

Of course this won't work on a real CD32.

So basically if this game was released, it would have been a Reunion you wouldn't be able to save? That's... something.

Well it was unfinished so we don’t know how much data would have saved, some games save to temp ram, others to floppy disk, and some like Theme Park just save park data and not everything.

But i guess its part of why some games were delayed (before April 94 when a huge chunk simply got canned) coming out waiting for the official disk drive to release to support full saves.

Saving to hard disk with "Reunion CD32" takes this:

40kB, it really doesn't fit into 1kB non-volatile memory of CD32

OMG, Commodore... what were they thinking?

Doubt that 40k was compressed, but even so it wouldn’t have fit even after compression.

Plus like any console none had enough NV-RAM to save complicated computer games, most CD based consoles had 1-16K NV or SRAM.

What Commodore should have included was the memory card slot from the CDTV, that memory was dropping year on year, so the 64K card instead of £80 when it launched for CDTV could have been marketed for £30 for the CD32, and the 256K card would have been cheaper enough after a year or so, i know i would have got one to save bigger games.

My thought exactly. Why they didn't follow this path is beyond me.

[Predseda]

Indeed.
