Eye of the Beholder (AGA v1.09)

[Zandig]

I've a bit of a problem with Eye of the Beholder (not technical however).

I'm playing the AGA 1.09 version (WHDLoad install) and got myself stuck in the game! I'm in need of a dwarven key. Level 6 requires 3 dwarven keys to enter level 7 but I used one of they keys to open a door on level 6 (damn!) and am now one key short. I got all of the dwarven keys available, believe me I've combed thru the previous and lower levels

My question is, is there are way to insert another dwarven key into the game?

Also from the "README" file of V1.09:

- Automap included press 'TAB' key
- Automap cheat mode included
(to see hidden button, fake wall, full map and move free on map
using cursor keys)

It mentions an automap cheat mode to move free on the map using the cursor keys ..but I can't seem to get it working.

I've traveled to lower levels but painted myself in a corner as the only way forward in the game is from level 6 to level 7.

Please don't tell me I have to start over

I figured out how to activate the automap cheat mode and was able to move thru the wall using the cursor keys!

This makes me very happy - yay me!!!

Now I can continue on with the game..

Would be nice if you could share it with us then How did you activate the automap cheat mode?

Sure thing TCD, I just wasn't sure if it was some kind of guarded secret since I could not find any info on how to activate it.

- Bring up the automap by hitting TAB then type CFOU
- Now if you hit TAB again to bring back up the automap it will show the entire map along with all of the secret buttons, walls, etc.
- You can now also move thru the map with the cursor keys and you will be in that spot once you exit the automap.
- You can turn off the cheat mode by typing CFOU again.

I'm very happy to have found it since I would have had to start over.

Thanks for the info Zandig I think this might come in handy for some people

It's why thief class is in the game. You can save some keys by opening locks with lockpicks.

Where do I get v1.09? There is v1.05 here http://eob.wikispaces.com/EOB2+AGA+GAME

Oh, forget it, it is EOB1 vs EOB2 confusion.

How about Android? Is this game playable through UAE4all2?

There are issues with mouse emulation, however using a keyboard will work.

A keyboard (hardware not virtual) is doable. I use one to play lands of lore and Civilization 1.

Is there any thread where I can find instructions about installing and playing ΕΟΒ1 AGA? I'm familiar with DOS but not Amiga.

I'm trying very hard to find my way through all the info about installing uae4all2, configuring it, installing the eob1. (I'm only familiar with DOS from the old times)

So far I haven't achieved much. I bought the android amiga essentials. I have a few roms but only workbench 1.3. Is it possible for EOB1 1.09 to work? The more information I discover the more confused I get.

uae4all2 is up and working perfectly well. How do I install the game?

I can't bear to see you suffer any longer grypas

...yup, coming to grips with Amiga stuff is no easy learning curve. Creating / formatting the hard drive, installing Workbench, making required assigns, adding in Libs etc.

Anyway, I've now created a self-booting .HDF for you

...you do know how to add in a .HDF to your favourite Amiga emulator though hey? If not, let me know

So, I can't upload this .HDF anywhere on EAB as unfortunately it needed "Kickstart" files (even though the ROMs are in WinUAE and accessed via the configuration used).

I've sent you a PM. Just use an AGA (2MB Chip & 4MB Fast RAM) configuration.

If you want me to do the same with EOB II AGA, let me know.

[DamienD]

@grypas; have also sent you via PM a self-booting .HDF for Eye Of The Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon [AGA]

Same deal as above in terms of config...

[DamienD]

Hmmm, been playing both of these for a little:

... Eye Of The Beholder [AGA]
... Eye Of The Beholder II: The Legend Of Darkmoon [AGA]

For me there's a bug with the character faces after loading a saved game

Before:


After:


Anyone else experience this or even better know how to fix? I'm using the WHDLoad versions.

[DamienD]

Don't worry guys, ticking "Immediate Blitter" in WinUAE fixed this issue for both games

[vulture]

Thumbs up!

Thank you soooo much DamienD.
I have it working perfectly well on my tablet. The mouse controls are frustrating but an OTG cable and a mouse did wonders.
Installed uae4arm and with minimal changes in the configuration it worked.

Excellent news grypas, glad I could help
