I didn't realise you were using the floppy disk version... I've only tried the CD version

The thing is, NovaCoder upped a huge number of public versions across AGA, ECS and RTG (for different CPUs) to Aminet during development between 2010 and 2015. Some only lasted a few days on Aminet before they were replaced by the next update, so it would be surprisingly awesome if he kept every single one of them.

Very nice work and well organised. Love ya work Prof.Bong!!!

A1200 was released only 3 months before so the market was very small at the the time of release. No HD floppy, no hard drive, way too slow. Nobody would bother...

In fact the game was planned for the ECS Amiga, not the AGA ones.

If you can read french, they are speaking of the Amiga version of the game there (PP98 to 103) saying that this will be "maybe" their last Amiga game produced in house (but also that "maybe" Virgin UK will convert their games for the Amiga next, which was the case for The Lion King) :

From what I have seen of the game, I'd think that a 1200 plus hard disk could handle this.

Why do you guys think this would need fast RAM to be achievable?

I still remember those LOL Ads in Amiga magazine, it would be cool to get a port.

There is something that i don't understand : how is that the UK,German version of lands of lore are supported but not the french version ?? Scummvm refuse to load my french floppy version......

Any french user of scummvm AGA can help or was able to run the game in french ?

I tried the French version from abandonware-france, and both Novacoder's and Pipper' ScummVM detects and loads it normally.

which CPU do you have on your A1200 ?

The screen remains black on mine (i have 68030 50mhz + 32mb fast).

060, it takes awhile to load.
