Academy (WHDLoad) Cursor ???

tomcat666 · 11 October 2002, 07:45

Just played Tau-Ceti on the C64 and what a fabolous version it is. After playing around for 3 hours I tought I would give a try its sequal - Academy - but unfortunetly the c64 doesn't have one... then I remembered that AMIGA has one ... altough a VERY crappy conversion (Spectrum version IS better looking) - I could not get the CURSOR to display in the WHDLoad version. It is very hard to hit those menus without one... is that a common problem or is just my A1200 030/50 acting up ???

That is an Amiga 1000 game for A1000s with 256K RAM.

We had a huge thread about this which was started by yours truly at the beginning of this year, here it is:

Ahh, never saw that thread :-( ... thanx for pointing it out.

btw. did you get the cursor working in WHD version in the end ?

You should speak with Bored about this.
I only interpreted the gist of the e-mail conversation. He has written the WHDload installer, maybe you can convince him to put in the cursor.

However, Bored will refuse to do so if the original does not show the cursor. As I didn't see an original Academy image anytime, I can't tell about the visibility of the cursor in the original version.
