Amiga Mania #4 (1992)(MC Publications)[cr PRD][Dungeons of Avalon, Jul 1992] (crc: ae4fa54f)
Amiga Mania #4 (1992)(MC Publications)[Dungeons of Avalon, Jul 1992] (crc: ae5eb95a) [this one also shows the 'Paradise 92' text at the bottom btw]
Note: All the [o] versions are German.

So I'm bascially asking if someone has a different disk image or knows how to get this one working.

The WHDLoad version is English AFAIK, and was based on the IPF of the Amiga Mania coverdisk

If you're able to get hold of the IPF, then you should be able to convert that to ADF (assuming that Amiga Mania hasn't heavily protected their coverdisk)........which would be much better than the bastardised versions that seem to be in TOSEC atm. Otherwise you could create an ADF of the WHDLoad version - it's small enough to fit on to a disk and make an ADF out of. Hope that helps!

Has this been resolved yet ?

I have Dungeons of Avalon 1 & 2 both English both run on E-UAE on a basic 500 setting.

I can Zone them if you need them.

Sorry for not reporting back yesterday. Roy's version works, but I'll have a look if I can get the IPF (thanks for the tip DrBong ) and it would be great if you could upload your version of the first part Washac (just to check)

i never even thought to check my whdload games for it:doh:
is the whdload version the full game?

nevermined,i had a bit of fun with the tosec version its a shame its been canabalised a bit though.

Just uploaded the English version Dungeons of Avalon that I have, all seems to work OK here.

Your version doesn't work here Washac... no idea what's wrong with that Paradise version. It is different to the ones I had before though. Thanks for uploading it nonetheless

ive had a quick look at washac's version,its the same as yours:no walls in the game.

Yep, seems like the dungeon data is corrupted. I just wonder why it works on E-UAE

if your interested,its not corrupt its got a file missing the file is called: DUNG

it looks like the maps for the dungeon itself


i dont know if washac actually played the game as it will load up.and you can select the characters but not play in the dungeon itself.(no walls etc)

Ah, that makes sense Thanks for the information

I've copied the IPF to an ADF and it indeed works like a treat. I guess I'll use that version (just to be sure it works as expected).

Thanks again for all the answers and help

[Washac]

I have found out what is going on here.

I am loading back old games that all work OK, If I start a new game, guess what, NO WALLS, sorry to post incorrect info.

I now would like a working version of game 1

Dungeons of Avalon 2 all works from a new game OK, just checked it.

You're welcome and I've added that disk image to the Amiga games section of our website (see signature) for future generations

[Washac]

Anybody know of game manuals for Dungeons of Avalon 1 or 2 or both ?

[TCD]

There's a German version for the first one on the disk, but there doesn't seem to be an English version. Not sure about the second one... have to check tomorrow. If I have some spare minutes (or hours ) I can see if correcting a Google translated version is worth the effort

Good stuff! Thought I had the Amiga Mania coverdisk version somewhere, but I couldn't find it when I looked (only found DOA 2 in my coverdisk pile).
