Nice one Amigajay

...a lot of cool PD games in there; which I also have in my collection

Noticed you hadn't completed the series for these games though:

1) you've included A New Adventure: FaYoh 2 but left out the first one FaYoh.
2) you've included Renegades Deluxe but left out the first one; Renegades (PD).
3) you've included Sqrxz and Sqrxz 2: Two Seconds Until Death but left out the later ones; Sqrxz 3: Adventure For Love and Sqrxz 4: Cold Cash.

Finally, I noticed in your "10 Must-Play OCS PD Games" you've not added Thesius XII


Edit: regarding "Thesius XII", the game starts on level 3 and also the file used is v0.95.

There is a v0.97 .ADF available here: Thesius XII v0.97 (2003-09-15)(Underware Design)(FW).zip and also HD installable files.

Yeah, they are "NDOS" so that's a no go unless you're a coder / programmer

If you use the HD installable files from the author's website, like I did with my Thesius XII - "HD install" --> "ADFs", then there's one version with "speech"

Amiga Jay, thanks for these fabulous compilations of games

I'm going to test the homebrew disk because there are a lot of games I have not played on

[Rochabian]

Some games asks me to put a "LOCALE" disk from workbench loading screen.
Can it be because i've Workbench installed on my HDD with my SX32?
If i click on cancel, game continue to load fine, but if you haven't a mouse, you're stuck!

@Amigajay; can this not be fixed by making an assign like the following or something (unless it really requires files from the "Locale" disk to be installed somewhere):

Assign LOCALE: RAM:

[Rochabian]

Games asking for "LOCALE" volume :

Ami Mind
Deluxe Galaga
Deluxe Pacman
Desert Apache
Hoi Remix
Roketz
Solid Gold
Super Foul Egg

Other Problems :

Ami mind says Not a dos disk in device DI2
Aquanaut : Reboot at title screen
Creepy Crawlers : Graphic Glitches
Parachute Joust can only be played one time then return to menu ( no reboot )
Salmon Pink has graphic glitches
XMas Disaster : In-game background flickers
Zombie Apocalypse II AGA has title screen but i get black screen when i start the game

Tested on a CD32 + SX32 with 8Mb RAM

[Rochabian]

Test finished for CD32 + Fastram with SX32
See above for report

I've retested some games that are working now because my lens was a little bit used...

Some games really need to be played!
Nice

Can't you just set this in the disc's "S/Startup-Sequence" instead of applying in each game script?

Can you not possibly use WBRun with these?

Now that I'm home, I get what you mean with Hoi Remix...
