Alien Drug Lords - Other systems
Just stumbled over Alien Drug Lords: The Chyropian Connection and am trying to figure out if it was ever released on anything else than the Amiga. Already found that the ST version is 'MIA'. The PC (Dos) and Apple Macintosh versions seem to be non-existant too.
Always fascinating how the game ends up being listed as 'not Amiga original' and not 'Unknown' on HOL. |

Yep, the second one is why I'm wondering ('nicht geplant' = 'not planned'). I'll wait until tomorrow, but it seems the game is Amiga exclusive. Interesting read about the game in the first article.

Found this for Atari ST:
https://archive.org/details/atari_in...+Drug+Lords%22 https://archive.org/details/startiss...+Drug+Lords%22 https://www.everygamegoing.com/litem...-Lords/160075/ https://www.lastdodo.com/en/items/48...ian-connection (on box there's info MAC II Screen Dump) and here is interested info: https://archive.org/details/Amiga_Ne...+Drug+Lords%22 "I don't know if this piece of software was converted from the Mac or the IBM, but if Panther wants to be taken seriously in the Amiga marketplace then they ought to spend the time to take advantage of the superior capabilities available on the Amiga platform. The credits appear to take up a whole disk, if the game was up to the credits standard then it would be worth buying, but as it stands, there are far better RPGs out there. Save your money for something worthwhile." Last edited by rygar; 16 August 2023 at 21:24. |

Atarimania has the ST version listed as 'Advertised/MIA': http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari...rds_24896.html
I'll set the game to 'unknown' for 'Amiga original?' and remove the conversions until there is some solid evidence they were actually released. Thank you for the links and looking into it
