Polish game: In Your Dreams.

[prart]

Hi, i`m looking for that game, HOL is missing any info about it and its developer. did they ever released it?

[Shoonay]

I remember that one, but it got silent IIRC after that one brief info box in Secret Service, so, I'm afraid not.
Although, it says: "We've just been notified 3rd hand that the group of programmers from Warsaw has almost finished this arcade-adventure game [...]"

PS: Why don't you post this on PPA too?

[s2325]

Title is an answer where can we find this game...

[Shoonay]

^ lol

[prart]

... and that it`s been 18 months in production and developers are planning to hit some western software publisher. that info is from Secret Service magazne April 1995

s2325 ok, time to get some sleep then

18 months of work wasted? can`t belive that it didn`t show up somewhere (as beta maybe)

[Shoonay]

Exactly!

Like I said, let's post it on PPA, quite an active bunch of people from Warsaw posts there so maybe someone will know.

will do sir!

edit

[prart]

some new info: Secret Service nr 28 (october 1995), page 10, news. Producer name shows up as Union Systems ( http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?...nion%20Systems ) and confirmation of nearly release.



and again, next screen:

now, do you have that cover disk? anybody?

[s2325]

I remember that screenshot from Switchworld, any more info?

that doom`ish game is Switchworld indeed, but i`m talking about info in red box above it. and on the second screen that i`ve posted there are two more pictures from In Your Dreams. if one can upload that cover disk, it would be great.

[s2325]

I think 'materialy reklamowe' are only text adverts, maybe some screens, but not playable previews because only Teenagent is marked as 'demo'.

[prart]

yes, you are right, but maybe there are some more "clues" about where to search or who to ask.

[Shoonay]

Oh yeah, I've already posted a topic and PM'd Docent about the demos of those two games he *should* have...

I wrote an email to Docent. But got no reply so far. I wish there was something else we could do to retrieve these games.

Still no reply. Maybe you have some ideas how to persuade someone to share these fantastic games

[meckert]

Any news on that ? anyone had a response from Docent ??

[Sir_Lucas]

Some time ago I got a reply through PPA, Polish Amiga Portal and it wasn't Docent. Moreover, the person who wrote me explained that Docent had had nothing to do with this game. Unfortunately it doesn't look very promising. Seems that the chances are very slim to get anything apart from few screenshots and an engine of the game.
The person, who wrote me an email with explanation promised to publish everything as soon as he finds time to do so.

[Crashdisk]

I found the coverdisk of "Secret Service # 28". If anyone is interested I can put in the zone ...
In all cases, it will be included in the next release of TOSEC

[Shoonay]

Wow, yes, please do upload it Crashdisk, and if you have more of those contact me please, Secret Service cover flopies are a real rarity, would love to include them in my collection.

[Crashdisk]

Uploaded ^^

TEENAGENT -AGA- *POLISH* FROM METROPOLIS
       PLAYABLE PREVIEW - DISK [1/1]

I do not have another disk but who knows ... ^^
Note: The disk was not autoboot, I fixed it (standard bootblock KS2.0) but I included both versions

[Shoonay]

Thanks, works fine.

I am a bit dissapointed though, they advertised that this disk contains press release materials from Union Systems. Well, they did include those... in text form
Was hoping for a single screenie at least, oh well.

[Crashdisk]

I understand your disappointment but it had to found to be sure

[Shoonay]

Sure, I love the concept of finding such a rarity and the nostalgia behind that

BTW: dunno if TOSEC already has those, but since coverdisks are also allowed, here are some shareware floppies from Magazyn Amiga and Amiga Computer Studio.

The main difficulty for me (us?), is not to find something, but to classify and rename. Find information and understand on a Polish magazine (for example) for a foreigner like me is not easy. I already struggling with English ...so imagine

[s2325]

Thank you, I will test this preview at home.

[Shoonay]

@Crashdisk: one more thing, about that coverdisk.
It says on the cover of that issue the disk is suppose to be dual format PC/Amiga:

But I am unable to read it's contents after mounting it in DOSBox, is there a chance you could check that out and maybe re-dump to make it work on both?

[Crashdisk]

You're right, the original diskette is "dual format" but:
- Any conversion of a diskette in ADF file, Involves the loss of tracks that are not Amiga DOS (Atari / PC / Mac ...)
- As I say below, the file is from underground, posted on BBS in DMS format
so I can not do anything to help you...

[Shoonay]

I was afraid of that, oh well, thanks for the find, maybe someday.
