That's what I ended up going for

It's a really wicked game; loads of fun and the graphics are cool.

Again thank you to yourself / clenched and Boo Boo for making this happen

...and as mentioned in my other thread:

This game definitely deserves an entry (as does the updated "Renegades Deluxe": http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1061703)

Maybe Galahad or Sting could have a look?

I'm working on a WHDLoad slave for this. Should I add highscore saving?
I looked through the game and couldn't find any traces of it accessing the disk at all from inside the game.

If you could do it, then yes, definitely!

Do you think there's a chance you could add highscore saving to the disk as well?

It's not known for sure whether there was originally highscore saving on the disk or not, but what you've said here seems to suggest that it wasn't.

If it can be done, there's probably space on the disk in Track 0 or 1 for the highscores.

Here is a cheat you can publish. I don't know if prowler returned the disk. Maybe it can be scanned too.

Thanks hipoonios as usual for bringing to light hidden gems in PD libraries! This game looks really good, will have to try it out this weekend.

Thanks, hipoonios. Great work!

No, mate, I didn't return the disk, as pickaweapon didn't want it back. So I can scan it now and submit it to HOL.

Like to thank Prowler & Clenched for all the great work in restoring this game!
I remember playing the demo of this back in the day.
Enjoy playing it and makes it even more special knowing that it was nearly lost.

I read this thread early Friday morning before I went to work. (IT Technician in a school)
It was interesting following how prowler was over time fixing sector by sector.
When I got to work, very spooky coincidence. Someone came to me holding 2 floppy disks asking if I could possibly try and restore the data on them. It has been years since staff have used floppies so of all the days for this to happen it was amazing.
If it wasn't for this thread and your interesting journey prowler I would of probably just said to bin them, but you inspired me to have a go and try and after some research I was partially successful. Disk1 70% recovered and disk2 98% and a very happy and surprised owner.
Thanks Prowler! ;-)

What a nice little game. Is it just me, or does it only work on Kickstart 1.3? I get a guru with 3.1 when it's loading the menu.

Thanks for your feedback, Mikey.

I always try to convey what's been happening when I post about disk recoveries I have attempted, in order to help others who might wish to have a go themselves. It took me a fair while to gather the necessary equipment and learn about the filesystems, but this disk has no filesystem, so it doesn't conform to the normal rules, and the only method which works is trial and error.

You don't say whether the disks you were working on were for the Amiga or some other system, but in any case you will always be very welcome to post any questions you might have concerning those disks or any others in our forums. Any platform and filesystem is interesting when you're talking about disk recovery.

Thanks for joining up, and I hope to see you back here on EAB again soon.

Hi prowler, the disks were just PC High Density disks MSDOS format nothing as exotic as an Amiga. The partition table was corrupt on both. After some investigating I found the linux tool ddrescue was able to recover most of the data after a few goes. The owner I think was expecting me to say they are just too old and can't be used anymore but luckily I had the time to have a go and dig out a pc with a floppy drive. Have recovered SDCards plenty of times but first time trying to recover a floppy.

Better late than never, I now have a WHDLoad slave for Snakes with highscore saved.
