The Final Gate CD32

15 July 2006, 18:08

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has this CD32 game

My orginal CD has a crack in it and is nolonger readable (I have only managed to salvage the startup-sequence file)

I have also found another version of it that had a corrupt startup-sequence which I replaced with my original one but it I still can`t get it running, it keeps saying that the CD is write protected and it wants to write to it for some strange reason

Any info would be great

Can you please take a pic of the cd as I'v never seen the cd32 release

viddi · 11 October 2006, 16:40

Oh yes!
I´d like to see this game on my compi,too!

Anyone here with this FMV-Try out?

I have an image of that from an original disc ~70MB (Along with 30GB of other images

). I'll up it for you...

I had that corrupted version too before I got this version - I got some of it running with some messing around, but the GFX are all corrupt too so I deleted it.

EDIT: Upload in progress...

Where are you upping this?

Thought you can only have something like 8meg in the zone or something like that

musashi5150 · 11 October 2006, 20:05

I'm just using yousendit.com and we're 87% there

musashi5150 · 11 October 2006, 20:17

Sorry fellas, they've changed the rules since I last used yousentit.com - you now just need to register on the site before you can download.

Thanks musashi - I've now been able to add screens to the HOL entry for the first time!

My Cody, you've certainly been busy

You're all more than welcome. Although some thanks should go to my Slovenian contact for supplying me with the image from his original...

DamienD · 11 October 2006, 23:39

Many thanks musashi5150 (and your Slovenian contact). That's very kind of you

viddi · 11 October 2006, 23:56

Thanks a lot. Just downloading....

Wohooo good thing i resurrected this thread, great work guys!

Hi,

I`ve only just read this updated thread, is there any chance I could get a working version of this game?

I`ve seen the screen shots on HOL, brings back a lot of memories, although I never could complete the game (found it quite difficult)

The curropted version that was given to me starts to load, and starts that countdown thing, but just goes to a blank grey screen, nothing else :-(

And my CD version (which is damaged) no longer boots either, I bought the CD version from Epic Marketing many years ago, it wasn`t boxed, just the CD in a slip case. The CD has a picture of an inflatable raft on river rapids, so unsure if it the offical CD or a copy, but it did cost £15 at the time

If I could get a working version, that would be great

MethodGit · 19 September 2010, 05:54

Finally got round to playing this tonight, and I can't help but chuckle at it!

Only problem......... I can't seem to shoot the guy on the bridge no matter how hard I try, and he takes a shitload of health off me (now I don't get why your health and ammo share the same meter!). I notice that he's surrounded by a gold target rather than a white one, so I'm led to suspect that I need to use better weaponry. I collected these gold thingies along the way, so maybe they're missiles or something. But it seems no button apart from Red/Fire has any effect. I *know* I'm missing something here because those HOL screenshots suggest someone has managed to beat the game before. So what am I doing wrong?
