Happy Andreas' miggy treasure chest

This thread is meant for all that stuff which I can pick up bit by bit when looking through some scene CDs.
This is sort of a long shot, because if you take 100 images, there's 99 (usually unnecessary) [a] versions and 1 mere rarity or non-TOSEC crack.
You may also request stuff you missed because of the "zone timeout". (FUL = first time uploaded at ... ; no language given = 'English' by default.

Comment:
Rare alternatively titled one. Same game as Block Shock: The Last Chance, but scorefield graphics are different (BS = cockpit-like; SW = circuit-board-like); some credits were modified as well.
[i]This game is in no way related to "Shockwave" by Light Source - so do not confuse them![i]

Title: King's Quest II - Romancing the Throne [v2.0j]
Copyright: (c) 1986/87 Sierra On-Line
Cracked by: FAIRLIGHT
TOSEC: NO
Comment: Rare! FLT crack is pretty scarce ... note that the digitized/sampled tune used in the text intro (Spirit in the Sky by Doctor and the Medics, 1986) does NOT play correctly on older WinUAE versions. Might require a bit of fiddling with the settings.

@TOSEC: Please do not forget the [m] tag! This disk seems to have been in german hands for a while, as I found an AmigaPlus bootblock on it!
(AmigaPlus is a German diskmag, which mainly issues applications on its coverdisks.)

FUL: 01/10/04
Title: Emeraude Empire
Copyright: (c) 1990 Free Distribution Software / GFX Movies
TOSEC: NO
Comment:
- Very rare French PD title! Google search gives 6 hits - no more!

FUL: 13/02/05
Title: Cloud Kingdoms
Copyright: (c) 1990 Logotron
[Amiga version published by Millennium in 1991]
TOSEC: NO
Comment:
Scarce CLASSIC crack of this fairly common game.
Includes a demo of Kid Gloves, hence it should be put into compilations dat (just like the PNA-cracked/Piranhas-trained version which is already in)
WinUAE: Crack uses nifty decrypter; cycle-exact mode only!

The Hole-In-One disks are far from rare in Australia. I believe they got bundled with A500s at some point.
But if they're rare elsewhere, I guess they qualify to be in the list....I guess.

Yep, agree with Miggyboy on this one, had a relative get his A500 pack with Hole-in-One, & recall those courses vividly, I think it would've been 1988'ish.

Sorry Aussie mates, but this is utterly pearls in Europe, whilst it might have been widely available in AUS. Thing is though, I couldn't know that. My infos and statements can only reach within European territory, not beyond.

Kodoichi, it's about that special Course Disk 3.
If you really have the others as well, you could contribute some screenies for HOL.

Well, I have the one with the 'Alphabet', 'Out of this World' and 'Holidays' courses. I was just pointing out that it isn't that rare in Europe.

Zak McKracken uncracked english version is already in TOSEC. We don't need another alternate one because the one in TOSEC is error-free.

OK, I've looked and checked.

Hmm. Your "uncracked english version" is a version that according to the tag needs Workbench ([WB]).
Mine does not but it auto-boots, so I consider it better, and therefore I upped it. And yes, I did look into the database BEFORE that, mind you
(commodore amiga - games - adf (v-z) (tosec-v0.27-xx))

@abelthorne: Cool!
This could be useful. Zak french is modified (ugh) by TITAN, who wanted to eternalize himself in the image. Loom french only version available is cracked by Angels.

@andreas:

Okay, then let's come back to your "Zak original english version": If it auto-boots, it's not original. You consider it better ? I tell you it's hacked, the TOSEC version is not...

I have the following :
- Zak McKracken
- Maniac Mansion
- Loom
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
- The Secret of Monkey Island

All dumped from my original disks and thus uncracked.

Just tell me which ones you need and I'll upload them to the Zone.

I can't say you're wrong, nor can I say you're right.
@all: is it true that Zak original english was NOT auto-booting but *required* a workbench?
I can hardly believe this unless someone else confirms it. Sorry WK.

@abelthorne: I think TOSEC could need them all. (Sorry, you wanted to know )

Maybe you both have a vocabulary problem : I guess that Zak McKracken is autoboot as it boots the workbench up and then you have to run the game by double-clicking on its icon. If it really boots and starts the game itself, I guess that it's indeed a hack.

As for the french versions, I'll upload them to the Zone asap.

Thanks for the uploads!

Vocabulary problem? I don't think so. Yet I'll be damned, WK seems right, as your disk behaves the same: 'DOS' garbage all over in block 0, no boot block, not even a workbench installed!
This original Zak disk 1 of yours is 98% full - no space for loadWB!

Yet incredibly awkward (from Lucasfilm) to *require* the user to have a Workbench handy! I just couldn't be arsed to believe this is true without a clear proof. So apparently the originals WERE like that indeed (this disk is a true original and not modified in any way). Seems so is life, then.

I thought that every Lucasfilm games would load workbench on their own but I've just checked and my Zak disks are indeed not booting. So I looked into the doc and here is what it says :

"Bring Workbench on your Amiga. Insert Zak McKracken's disk 1 in the floppy drive. Open the disk icon and click twice on Zak's icon (glasses on big nose). When asked, insert disk 2."

I don't know if the others games I've posted boot up or need to run workbench before too ?

I guess that Lucasfilm didn't make their games run because the user needed to use workbench to be able to install them on harddrive (although they could have made them boot and put something in the doc like "to install, first run workbench, then insert Zak's disk and click on hd install").

hm don't try to ask me why I thought that a German original could be different from an English original. Maybe because I thought the German distributor was wiser and made life easier for players? Hell no, don't ask me

Hole-In-One disk 3? I remember the Out of this World, but don't remember Alphabet or Holidays--the version I had had the main one, and the 2nd disk which was Intermediate and menagerie, yes, but we also had Out of this World on one of the two disks . . . I'm pretty sure. Oh well, don't have it in front of me to check. I'd LOVE to have that one. Tried to play the first two disks which I found online, but got errors, documented here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=18489

I would also love the rare educational games you found (I'm going into teaching--educational games are fascinating to me). I just joined in the last few days, so I missed all the uploads before. Is it OK to ask for them to be uploaded again?

(Is Block It! the game where you and an opponent, either human or computer, have to take blocks of different colors, with different pictures on them, each with different colors on them, and drop them into different columns? In the game I'm thinking of, you got more points to your score the more your block matched the blocks around it--if you were surrounded by ones who had the same pictures on them which were in the same color which had the same background color, you got more points than if only one or two things matched--and you basically didn't get hardly any points at all for nothing matching around it. I cannot truly remember the name of this game, but it had something to do with blocks.)

Hey Doranwen, welcome to the Treasure Room
This reminds me a lot of this being overdue to get a rework!!
Will do this RIGHT NOW.

Many of those disks are now in TOSEC meanwhile, so you can get most of them elsewhere. If not -- just ask!

No prob, it's in the zone again for you.

The educational titles OK, but please do not ask for all of the over 30 releases at once, thanks

Thanks to HOL, you will never be supposed to play guessing games, but just look up the stuff instead!

Will do this RIGHT NOW.

Many of those disks are now in TOSEC meanwhile, so you can get most of them elsewhere. If not -- just ask!
Thanks! And thanks for the upload--I'll try it once I can get the game to WORK. This link is to my documented record of what I got when I tried the main disk and the Intermediate/Menagerie one together.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that, lol! (Yikes! That would definitely be too much for everyone, lol.) But bit by bit. For instance, the 4-In-One, Easy But Fun title sounds interesting. I didn't find it on HOL, but maybe I looked it up the wrong way? Other than that, I'll have to just browse around and look. The one downside to HOL is its lack of reviews and descriptions--just screenshots, which wouldn't show in Firefox (which, imho, is a far better browser than IE). I have to open the pages in IE to get them to show.

Lol, I forgot about that one. Unfortunately, that was not the game. I still haven't seen anything like it anywhere. I think I'll have to BEG my parents to dig out the Amiga from it's temporary tomb in the messy garage and see if I can get it to load and get a name for it. Because I can't remember, and nothing seems to bring it back.

HOL is also missing some. What about the board game Sorry? That was in the compilation of games I had on that one disk, yet it is unlisted. But I digress from the purpose of this thread.

Thank you again for the upload!

The HOL works fine in Firefox (and most other browsers, even Amiga ones). Which Extensions do you installed?

A lot--I love having better functionality. The only ones relating to images, however, are the Image Zoom and Image Toolbar ones. HOL is the only site that has given me problems like that with pics. Anyhew, it's just an annoyance, that's all. I'd better stop discussing it though, or I fear being accused of hijacking the thread, lol.

The HOL uses DHTML image popups as default, you can change to standard popups in the options, maybe those work better for you.

You did, and I must admit this is MY fault.
It's "Easy and Fun". Typo corrected - thank you!

Here ya go again: http://hol.abime.net/3438

For TOSEC sites like PlanetEmu, consider this: educational games have their own data file, you are probably not supposed to find them in "adf games"!

Cool, thanks! You never know when edutainment will be useful . . . As a prospective teacher, I'm collecting anything and everything that could be remotely useful in the future. Who knows? I might just get an Amiga for the classroom, lol.
And if anyone's played Hole-In-One successfully, please visit http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=18489 and see if you can help. I really want to play it again--it's been a couple years since the Amiga was out, and I miss those games.

Thanks again for the uploads! The only rare game I have right now is Discovery Spell . . . but if that's useful, let me know.

Copyright: (c) 1991 Gremlin
Cracked by: SKID ROW (Disk 2 of 3 only)
Hacked by: Punishers [PNS]
Trained by: Punishers [PNS] (+40)
TOSEC: NO
Comment / Instructions:
Preload with Punishers disk 1 (of 3) and select your trainer options. Quit menu as described, then wait for the menu to reappear. You will now be prompted to insert SKID ROW cracked DISK 1 (of 2), prepared for the megatrainer by Punishers (disk can't work standalone unlike the "normal" SKR version nor can you use "normal" Disk 1 from SKID ROW).
Use TOSEC SKID ROW cracked disk 2 (of 2) as Disk 2 later in the game.
As you know I've also now found this on a cd and you'll find there is a lot less messing around if you use the original disk/ipf

Simply load the trainer, put IPF disk 1 in df0: and let it be

Point taken. However, my solution does not require proprietary software to run.
If the user lacks a physical original disk of the game, my solution will (currently) be the only possible way out to use the trainer disk on a REAL Amiga.

Just checked randomly, but it seems, even if you uploaded these disks from your thread to the zone years ago, they never made it into Tosec. How come? Isn't [idoru] leeching from the zone? hehehe
