Which Rainbow Islands cracks play successfully to the end?

DisposableHero · 16 July 2015, 01:37

I've been reliving the first Amiga game I ever bought just recently, Rainbow Islands. After a few goes I got past the level three boss, and was excited about seeing Toy Island level 1 (level 13 in total, ironically) for the first time since about 1994. Unfortunately it loaded corrupted, simply scrolling upwards through an almost blank screen (the only consolation is that it did complete the level, meaning I got to see level 14. This crack came from PlanetEmu, and is simply titled 'Rainbow Islands (1987)(Ocean).adf. Anyone have one that definitely works all the way through, or at least past level four?

They talk about a working version here. http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=21957&page=2

But this thread is old. Maybe someone can re up a 100% version to the zone.

Looks like more of those versions had problems with level five, I've obviously been slightly unlucky. I've downloaded the Quartex crack, will give it another go when I get time. Always found this game pretty tough, getting past the level 3 boss with only one rainbow is awkward (as mentioned in that thread) and the bit leading up to it is tricky (very easy to lose a life and thus go back down to one rainbow). It may look and feel like a kid's game, but some serious old-school skills are needed to see half of it. Classic stuff.

I've uploaded the Gremlin crack in the Zone. Level 13/World 4 plays fine here. No graphic errors.
