Anybody know what game this is? Anyone have this game?

1. I've never heard from a disk mag called 'Amiga Mania', you?

2. Why is it impossible to zoom the tiny pic there?!! If I can read 'Go to larger picture', I fucking *EXPECT* a larger picture, but there's none, that sort of "navigation" (*gasp*) makes me go around in circles instead.

[edit] FINALLY I figured it out myself. You must go *BELOW* that "screen" split in eight parts, then you can see the big-un.
Good Lord, what a shitty navigation.

Amiga Mania was a real Amiga magazine, although I think it was shortlived.

They had stuff like the full version of Dungeons Of Avalon on one coverdisk. I bought that issue in the shops.

Thanks.
There's not ANY of those coverdisks in TOSEC, maybe some of them should be dumped eventually.

[edit] FINALLY I found some information in the net. 'Bout time, damnit!

8 issues only. Oh well.

Amiga mania was excellent. It always had ludicrous stuff on the cover. I bought a couple. One had a frisbee (still got it) on it, another had one of those little plastic soldiers with the folded parachute that you throw in the air. Totally insane.

Again, one I happened to keep. Don't know why, it's not convincing 3D anyway - and I had the glasses too

You'll need to unzip this to a working Workbench configuration, it is not bootable. It also runs too fast on 68030+, might be worth forcing A500 speeds for this one.

@Echo
Thanks, dude! I'll take a look and maybe try to bang up an ADF.

LOL...I have that toy soldier and issue. I never could tell if they were serious or being tongie-in-cheek with that prize, but it always amused me. I may steal the idea and include some toy soldiers with a future CD release!
