Any updates on the PC ediition?
I just ran across an norweigan forum where they had started an Amiga memorylane kind of thread. And I listed my all time favourites.. And of corse Mayham was one of them. Thought I'd try look around -yet again- for the game. As I've never been able to even finda slightest evidence of its existence. Only thing I remembered was that it was made by some finish guys. And the name Mayhem... but try enter Mayhem in google :P =) Well I finally found it here I guess.. Havent tested it yet, just downloaded the 3 files. =) dms, hmm now I gotta search this forum some and findout what emulator handles dms files =) |

Wow - this was a blast from the past. Was surprised to find that my links for the files are still there.
According to the thread I paid DPainter the reward but that was 2 years ago. Maybe the thread title should be changed now ![]() For anyone interested I still have the PC version that was being done by another fan. I never got any further updates from him but maybe someone else could carry on with it ? I've uploaded it here along with the original Amiga images as well just in case I lose the other files : Mayhem PC : http://www.louiscifer666.plus.com/Mayhem-install.exe Mayhem Amiga Disc 1 : http://www.louiscifer666.plus.com/mayhem-1.dms Mayhem Amiga Disc 2 : http://www.louiscifer666.plus.com/mayhem-2.dms Mayhem Amiga Disc 3 : http://www.louiscifer666.plus.com/mayhem-3.dms I still have those 2800 discs sitting in boxes....still haven't gotten round to cataloguing them yet I did manage to put those 16 CDs of images onto 3 DVD's though.I have been spending too much money updating my 1200 though. Now has network card, SCSI CD-ROM, VGA Adapter, 68030 50Mhz CPU & 64MB Fast Ram ![]() Last edited by BeelzebubUK; 29 September 2004 at 20:55. |

I got lost in the thread and didn't realize who found it and all, so thread title changed accordingly

Holy crap! I tried to find Mayhem about 3 years ago but only found a bunch of threads started by BeelzebubUK
![]() I actually found the Amiga disk of PD games about a month ago with Mayhem, Extreme Violence, Bally 3 etc. A week ago, I found out my friends house mate has an A500, so I went round there today with the disk burning a hole in my pocket. And lo and behold, I played Mayhem again I have the original 1 level version that only comes on 1 disk if anybody wants me to rip it to adf or whatever. I'm downloading the dms files for the 3 disk version now (and the PC version)It's a bit late, but thanks Dpainter and BeelzebubUK!!! Mayhem was my favourite game back in the day. Me, my brother and a couple of mates would sit there and play for hours, developing new tactics and even stupid show off-y things to do. For example, the "Turkey Run" where you fly down the right hand side of the map facing down thrusting the whole way, only to turn at just the right moment so your ship hits the ground and bounces off safely. Oh, and landing on the big bubble at the bottom of the map to refuel. Ahhh, good times ![]() Time to check out the 3 disk version! |

Well, turns out the version I have on the Amiga is the second disk (which imho is the best map anyway). Does the mission menu work for anyone? Do you reckon the dude/s were working on a single player mode too?
Looking at the game with older eyes, it looks like it was very hallucinagen influenced, with all the tripped out faces and stuff strewn around the maps. And the "bubbles" at the bottom of the map on the second disk? More like mushrooms! |

I have been searching for this game for ages, so far I have only had a one level version on a demo pack (Sanity Velveteen #??, got it in 1991 I think). Wonderful that the full game seems to be available - this was a favourite while I was in high school, and me and my buddies were anxious to find a version with more levels, as the title screen suggests there are several!
However, do these files work on WinUAE? I have tried the dms's and also converted them into adf's and the result seems to be the same - Guru meditation after the decrunching flicker. I have not tried transfering the disks yet. Is there a configuration for WinUAE that runs the game? Thanks!!! |

Jurbo - there's a three disk version but I'm having problems loading the other levels. There may be a problem with the ADFs.
If you'd like to take a look at it you can find it in TOSEC or else I'll upload it to the Zone. |

@ CodyJarrett - I have tried the files that have been posted in threads on this forum - none that I have been able to download seem to work. Not on PC, not on an A500 with 0,5 MB chip/0,5 MB fast.
I'd be happy to try out if you have a different version. I checked out TOSEC but couldn't really understand the site (I registered to be able to enter the forum, downloads etc) - are there games downloads available (maybe I'm blind or stupid or...)??? If you would be so kind to upload to the Zone, I'd be very grateful! |

Wow. Cool to see that people have fond memories of this game. So fond they want to pay 50 UKP to get it!
I did a search for it just to see if there were any screens from it on the web, as I drew one of the stages for it, and stumbled upon this thread. Here's some background info on the game: It was coded and designed in Harstad/Norway by Espen Skoglund, who was a member of the demo group IT. The music in the menu (if there is any music in this release) is done by Walkman/IT (don't recall his real name right now). The game was supposed to have a multiplayer and singleplayer part, but Espen never got around to the single player, because every evening five or six people gathered around in his bedroom to play the multiplayer all night. A demo of the game was sent around to various software houses at the time, to see if we could get some funding for the game, but no one wanted it. Then the demo that you guys probably have got spread, and Espen went to university, and the whole project was abandoned. Thanks for this thread, btw. Put a smile to my face and brought back a lot of memories. |

Whoohoo! Had almost managed to forget about this game. As lamobird said, the game was also supposed to have a single player mode bearing similarities to the old "Thrust" style pick-up-a-ball action. Never really got around to completing this, though. Actually, I never even got around to nailing down the physics in a way that made the game playable (i.e., not insanely difficult to control).
And before anyone asks: No, I don't have the data and source code for the game lying around right now. It's stored with my Amiga equipment which is (or at least was) stashed away in a computer lab up at the University of Tromsø. |

can anyone point me towards some ADFs of this Mayhem game? sounds rather good, and if possible i'd like to make it online-playable in my next batch of kaillera-packs.
i tried to get the DMS files to write to ADFs but winuae crashed everytime, and i havent the time to do it on the real amiga right now.

I still have a copy of the C= NDA papers. Well, the first draft I filled out anyway :-) I see old names from University from time to time. And I think I know where I got "Øystein" from: Wasn't that someone Walkman supposed to be teaming up with (or am I having memory bit failure again?)? -Børge "NorthWay" Nøst |

Greetings from the past
![]() Good to see a few more people have made use of the links and remember the game. And I'm in awe that the original maker of the game has been here as well.....you are my Amiga god I still have those 3 boxes with 2800 disks sitting in my loft in my new house now so things never change ![]() If I win the lottery I might find enough time on my hands to actually sort through them.

Maybe someone else could help you out with some of those disks? There are a lot people from the UK in here so maybe someone can collect some of the disks to go through them before they die of death?

I always hate it if people just leave without a trace.
You showed them, Beelzebub! Way to go! ![]() @RCK: also thanks for protecting the author from getting deleted because of only 1 post! ![]() Especially for the HOL team it is essential to have a way to find authors by their e-mail addresses! Sometimes one post on EAB is the only trace we have! ![]() |

Two old friends visited me a week ago, and amonst other retro-gaming, we played some Mayhem (the green level that is the only one I have) on my old, yellowed A500. The game still rocks like it did when we were in high school!
![]() If only I could get the other levels to work, I have had no luck with the dms-files or the adf's extracted from them... It's been over a year since I first got the dms's, I'll have to give it another go... ![]() Just to make sure - there really are working versions of the other levels? |

There was a version of Mayhem in the zone some time ago that had three disks. Each disk could be booted separately, and each contained one different level.
All levels work, at least in WinUAE. Back in the day, when I was in school, I only ever had one disk. Thanks to eab, I not only got the game, but two more levels on top ![]() I put it back in the zone, BIG thanks again to BeelzebubUK for providing the original external links to this rare classic! |

Huge thanks, rsn8887!
![]() The files are dms's, I'll try to make them work (I guess that my earlier problems happened at the dms->adf conversion stage) this time! If I end up having problems, would you mind converting them to adf for me (I'm intending to put them on disks for real Amiga hardware)? ![]() |

Hmm, I still can't get the game to work. I'll first try to get the dms's to work on WinUAE, befrore trying to transfer it to Amiga. I have WinUAE 1.3.4, emulating 68000 processor, 512 chip, 512 slow, ECS Agnus (or OCS).
Loads, then decrunch flickers, then guru. Any ideas? |

I have also now tried extracting the dms-files to adf with XDMS. No problems in the conversion, but WinUAE behaves the same way with the adf's. Loads 17 tracks, then the decrunching flicker, then guru. If I let the disk load again, I get a blue screen that stays there.
I have tried dozens of configurations in WinUAE with the same result. Could someone give me the right configuration or other advice? Thanks! |

None of the links works...
Hi, seeing that this thread has lived for years, I hope there is a chance that someone still have the Mayhem disks? None of Belzebubs links work as of today. One of the gfx guys on that game is in fact my brother, and it would've been great to fire this up in WinUAE and check if I'm still better than him
(or was it the other way around?).Anyway, all help appreciated! Cheers! |
