Murder

Hey

http://hol.abime.net/2532

There is another game called Murder, not sure if its shareware but its a FMV kind of game. Anyone seen this or think its worthy for HOL? I found the full version (think its full) on AGA Experience Vol 2, its about 45 meg. Runs fine on a A1200 with 8meg of fast ram.

Can you post a screenshot or upload the game to EAB-fileserver please? I would check it. I can remember about a game-test in german mag AmigaMagazin but I'm not sure if it is the same.

Jimbo · 18 August 2010, 20:52

Uploaded, just need someone to move it somewhere. I added the files I needed in C: and Libs to make it work. I also had to add some assings as it kept asking for CD once on HD, didnt know any other way of making it work. These are what I added:

Assign >NIL: aga_vol_2: Demos:aga_vol_2 (I have other demos that needed files from that CD so this is where it looks for the C drawer for me)
Assign >NIL: Murder: Games:AGA_Various/murder

If you know an easier way please tell me

I can't do screenshots myself, only use a real miggy now.

Thanks for the upload and moved to 'Game/Archive' on the file server for now (I assume it's meant to be copied to HD right?). Any more info about that one Jimbo? Any developer and/or publisher logo you could spot? I might have a look later, but not sure I have the time for an in-depth look. Would be great if someone could gather some info regarding this one

Hey, well it doesnt have a HD install it just plays from the CD. But I wanted it on the HD so I just copied over all the files in the upload. Hence why I had to add assigns as it wanted the CD each time. It has some info when the game is started I can write down some names in a bit and post back if noone else has had a look. I can't do screenshots though as I said above (real miggy), but I remember mine were never good enough anyway hehe

TCD · 18 August 2010, 21:09

Heh

That's okay, just wanted to say that for a PD/freeware type game it would be great to have some info to start with. Let's see if anyone else has some spare minutes then.

Jimbo · 18 August 2010, 21:15

Well it doesnt say anything at all when started, just "Murder" then it gets right into the game. It has a file when the game is started you can click on.

Hmm, that's a no-go then. Full name is "Kenneth Isley" btw.
Apparently this game was on 'Berliner Spielekiste Extra #140' :
"Nur von HD spielbar! Gepackt auf 48 Disks!!" (translation : Only playable from HD! Packed on 48 disks!!)
48 disks...

Have yet to start the game though...

That's the game I remember. There was an article in German mag "AmigaMagazin". Maybe more information in the article. I can't remember in which issue the article was. Maybe I will check it next weekend.
You can find a demo-version in Aminet: http://aminet.net/search?name=Murder_&path[]=game/demo.
Are you sure that's the full version or just the same demo like in aminet?
BTW I couldn't start the game yet. I get the following error: Unknown error during object attachment.
What's wrong?

nujack · 19 August 2010, 21:25

Here is the contact-information for that game:

The URL doesn't work anymore.

Jimbo · 20 August 2010, 00:31

No idea, works fine here. The version I uploaded is like 40meg, bigger then then the 11 disk aminet version

Is this it???

TCD · 20 August 2010, 23:46

I think that is this one : http://hol.abime.net/2532
Edit : Well, I'm quite sure about it

Jimbo · 21 August 2010, 01:16

Yeah thats the one in hol. Other one is a 40ish meg download. Gutted the one I found is only half the game, looks pretty good actually.
