The previous version, dated 1996, has got a big bug when the player came to level 8.

This last version had :

- Some old bugs corrected.
- Less difficulties.
- Improvement of the code (ASM).

With the links, you can see some old productions during 90's years made with Nightlight Team (sorry for the French site only) :

- Screenshots and demos made on Amiga 500. See the Sonic the Hedgehog demo for amiga !!!.

- Stepfive Game, on the part "amiga1200"

The authors are curious to see if some feedback will be made for their old products and wish you a good fun with Step Five.

@ricco59

No, not again.................!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

Honestly, with a job near my home, no problems but not with 2+ hours of car by day for the job, It's impossible for me :-(

[nujack]

Thank you. Nice game!!!
Would somebody create a WHDLoad-Install for this game and fix the problems I have with my A4000?

[mrodfr]

hello,

this game has been made around 10 years ago, for 68020 and AGA and PAL. The game need AGA and PAL to be used.

I will release a whdload generic slave on a lha archive for the game soon who will use a whdload generic slave to launch the game from amiga like 68060/voodoo3 (but will allways need a PAL screen).

the slave will simulate a 68020 with no caches/.... and will launch the game on a PAL screen with a whdload generic slave, from a Hardrive.

hope your problem will be solved with this stepfive version who use a whdload slave to be used on high/end amiga from HD (with whdload installed).

thanks for whdload.

[nujack]

@mrodfr: That would be great!!! Thank you.
At the moment I can only use the game from a disk with NOCACHE-option enabled during startup.
