Eskadra (POLISH)

Toni, it seems we've got another nasty track loader bastard again. :smileek

I've just uploaded Eskadra, a very rare game from L. K. Avalon, Poland.

At least the title music has this addictive sound that reminds me a bit of the marvellous Pinball Dreams (21st Century) intro.

Back to the game - it seems to load fine but you can't START a game ... everything is over at Track #77.
NOTE: The game did work on my A500 when I tested it last year, so it's definitely O. K.
I'd like to know what causes WinUAE floppy code to just stop loading at this very point.
Thanks for looking in there a bit ...

This game tries to step to illegal tracks (>83).

I guess Typhoon Thompson's and this game's loading problems are caused by same bug in floppy emulation.

Unfortunately I don't know why this happens... (yet!)

download time

LUKas007 · 14 June 2002, 11:27

Its shot'em up game

LUKas007 · 14 June 2002, 17:42

Btw, 'eskadra' is Polish word for 'squadron'

andreas · 22 August 2008, 16:20

OK, so let me dig out this ancient thread again...

WORKING DISK 1 (WANTED TEAM) IS IN THE ZONE!
(Thanks a million to Don Adan - playtested by me

)

Can be used with TOSEC disk 2.

Thank you very much andreas

Shoonay · 22 August 2008, 17:54

BTW: it's also available on PPA

s2325 · 22 August 2008, 20:40

More than one player is required to play. Very short and annoying music in game and at loading screen. Not bad gfx and controls.

haynor666 · 22 August 2008, 22:29

Anyone have original of this game? Still not in SPS.

NO!!
Not this cracked version. PPA has the original, which to my knowledge has a problem only solvable by using the WHD install: score won't increase from 0000!
But try it out from disk if you like, then report me back

Ugly site...
Well! When a game is not available, they should not provide ACTIVE URLs to it! (Result: 404)

Yes. Noted this down in HOL too.

BTW: about the music? You nuts?

The intro music is PERFECT my friend! (i mean when the credits show up)

haynor666 · 23 August 2008, 00:08

Not only this link don't work.

And which don't?

haynor666 · 23 August 2008, 11:10

on PPA I've found strange links like

http://www.ppa.pl/artykuly//artykuly...ids=26&id=1133

removing //artykuly solves the problem

Tell me exactly where it is. I'll fix it. It might happen because of the server migration that occured in winter. I wasn't able to check all of them but I assure that every link work (until somebody tells me it is not

OK, I found it. It was just a link in the interview that I put wrong. The file was available also from different location and worked.

Tell me about other not working links.

andreas · 01 September 2008, 16:33

(offtopic alert)
e. g. some Simulmondo games that have not been found yet. But yet there are links to this, which lead to 404s.
