The Final Battle - German version

TCD · 24 July 2010, 10:27

(I really tried to search if this has been mentioned already, but couldn't find anything)
It seems the preinstalled version is dodgy. I'm not even sure if there is a complete German version, as I can't find an ADF or IPF of it. Have a look :

The room title and the description are in German, but then everything else is in English (haven't checked the next rooms yet). Anything known about this version? I see that 'Christian Sauer' supplied the version for the WHDLoad slave to Bored Seal, so if he's a member here, would be nice if he could PM me

Any hints about what's going on here are appreciated

Edit :
There's also an ADF version with same 'phenomenon' in French :

I don't get it

I think this IS the German version. It looks like a rushed translation, with a lot of untranslated English text left. Read the Power Play review.

Hmm, I checked the data file aswell and after that first introductory text only the room 'captions' seem to be translated. Maybe that 'French' version is official then as well. Strange stuff. Thanks for the info and link Retro

Based on the French screenshot, the rushed translation hypothesis could be valid:

The first three words don't make sense. "Ground" which has no meaning in French, is in the middle of "apparament" (which means apparently).

The second sentence makes sense.

As you can see, all three versions use different font/title bar 'button' combinations. Doesn't really make sense. If you have some spare minutes lilalurl, I could send you the disk, so that you could have a look yourself

I have some spare minutes given that I don't have to play Path to Threedom since nobody challenged my score

.

TCD · 24 July 2010, 19:05

I'll send you a PM in a bit

The final battle exist on amiga in french, i own the atari ST french release.....

TCD · 24 July 2010, 20:20

Is it as bad as the Amiga version?

Could you take two screenshots from the ST version (title and ingame) and if you have any info about the French Amiga version, please share

Retro-Nerd · 24 July 2010, 20:23

I guess the ST version is similar. Check the German ST version Power Play review i've linked above.

TCD · 24 July 2010, 20:25

Yep, I know

Just needs some proof for HOL you see, before we can add French as a language (even if it's a bit far fetched to call it that here

).

dlfrsilver · 24 July 2010, 21:09

Atari ST French version zoned......

TCD · 24 July 2010, 21:12

Cheers Denis

/me waits for s2325 to grab it and make the screenshots...

TCD · 24 July 2010, 22:27

Okay, STX version is confirmed by lilalurl to be the same, so the French version is also genuine. I PMed Bored Seal about it and let's see if he'll adjust the slave to use the French data files

dlfrsilver · 25 July 2010, 13:34

Yes the STX comes from my original game

So it can just be genuine and nothing else

TCD · 25 July 2010, 13:41

Yep, STX = Amiga version means that the Amiga version is genuine

It's all in a day's work for 'Confuse-a-HOL'
