Wow, that looks awesome. Is there an English version anywhere or would I not need one? I don't speak Polish btw. :P

[Shoonay]

Yes there is, French, English and German actually, try WHDLoad.

[seuden]

\o/ Thanks Shoonay!!

It is a very nice looking game. It doesn't play as good as it looks but it's not a bad game.

[TCD]

Hmm, so it's now 'official' then. No need to feel dirty anymore. Yay!

I can't force it to be in English... at least main menu isn't.

Link fixed (in order to grab all three disk images) should anyone still be interested. Plays not unlike Gods, only with bullets and
less complex puzzles. IMHO, alternate language options would not bring much. I mean :
provided you have a gamepad at hand, you can jump right off into the action. Thanks miss B. Dziubałtowski

Does this new link of the ADFS have English language?

B. Dziubałtowski (Benedykt Dziubałtowski) is a male, so he isn't "miss".
He is not an author of Wacus the Detective either.

Hit and "miss", that's what one French dude is facing when attempting to decipher Polish greetings .
Allow me to correct : Thanks Dawid Weiss.

Well, not at all. Apparently, CFOU!'s slave was an attempt to fix that (minor) issue.
Here are some excerpts from the manual, courtesy of our Shoonay presumably :

WACUS THE DETECTIVE
Instruction Manual (only most important things)
Typed and translated to english by: Janusz "Yanoosh Shoonay" Brzuska



POINT OF THE GAME

The main point of the game is to gather, on each and every, of the three
worlds, the required amount of coins, and then exit the level.
The realms which Wacus explores, are very mysterious and treacherous
with many secret passages, invisible shelves and such surprising things.
So, Dear Player, if you'll find yourself in an dead-end situation,
check if the surrounding walls (spikes, maybe? ;)) are not just an illusion
and can lead you, to a completely different area of the level.
The same thing is with cannons, or sneezing snowmen, for example:
their shot is deadly, but the cannon (snowman) alone - is not.



CONTROLLING THE GAME

The can be fully controlled using the joystick connected to the second port
of the Amiga, or the keyboard. In this second case, arrows move the character,
while SHIFT equals the fire button.

After loading the game, the menu screen will appear, with selections as:
1). START (START) - Starts the game.
2). OPCJE (OPTIONS) - Entering this gives us the choice of selecting:
    a). STARE KINO (OLD MOVIE MODE) - Enables/Disables the Old Movie mode
        (browny display during the game),
    b). NOWICJUSZ (NEWBIE MODE) - Enables/Disables tips (pointers) during
        the game (really useful... most of the times ;)),
    c). SZYBKI PRZESUW (FAST SCROLLING) - Enables/Disables fast scrolling
        of the screen during play (also very useful).
3). INTRO - Replays introduction.
4). INFORMACJE O GRZE (INFO) - A few informations about the game itself,
    authors, etc..
5). HASLO (PASSWORD) - Here, you can type the passwords for the levels
    you've already beat.


During play, in the bottom panel you can see (from the left):
1). The amount of lives left
2). The amount of gathered coins
3). The amount of coins to get

Options during play:
1). Keys:
    [SPACE] - Pause
    [HELP] - Life lost
    [ESC] - Ends game and returns to the main menu
2). Passwords:
    KINO - same as STARE KINO (OLD MOVIE MODE)
    EKRAN - same as SZYBKI PRZESUW (FAST SCROLLING)

The passwords to the second and third levels are displayed on the
"Swiat Drugi" (Second World) and "Swiat Trzeci" (Third World) screens,
at the very top of them.
This enables you to start the game from the desired level, which eliminates
the strenuous need, to win those levels all over again.
