Has anybody played this 10-disk Polish game? The version I got also came with an lha file that is a crack fix. It has two files which you are supposed to replace disk files with. The first one says it goes on disk 0 and the second one on disk 1. Well I only found disks 1-10, so there was no disk 0 (the disknames are numbered). Well, I tried the game without patching the files on disk 1 and it crashed (naming that filename as the culprit) while loading the actual game (after the long intro thingie). So I replaced the file on disk 1 with the fixed file but the same thing happens again.

It seems there must be a disk 0 somewhere out there. Can anybody help here?

I have disk 0... but I cannot upload it on ftp. Some error appear.
It only 54 kb so I can upload on your mail.

Super! Can you up it to the Zone? If not, you can send it to me via my email button here! Thanks a lot, man!

Thanks haynor. Nice to have someone from Poland on the board...we've been plugging a lot of the diverse Polish games into HOL over the last week or so, so it's nice to know there's someone here who understands that cryptic language. I can make out a few words, but the only one I really *know* is "gry"!

Hey thanks again...that Dysk0 was what was what I needed, game works fine. So, how the heck do you get out of the cell?

haynor · 04 February 2003, 21:56

I've never played this game too long, so... currently I can't help You

... but I give a try.

From a Polish web site!

Actually, there was a boatload of games there that I'd never heard of, but they were DMS files with cryptic 8+3 DOS names, so I had to be creative in selecting the games that I thought were oddities. I can't even remember what site right now, but I'm pretty sure I got everything unique there.

If you display all Polish games from HOL, you'll see a bunch of nice obscurities. And more are being added every day, since I am in my Polish games dir. Poor Walker has to do screens every day for games which he can't even understand the language for. I think he'll be glad to see the end of that folder reached!

Incidently, if you check the Last update page from the HOL front page, you can see the daily progress of new games added; it's a great way to see the progress of new additions to HOL. For example, Vabank is another nice title worth investigating.

Could you please post the URL of that Polish site?

Twistin'Ghost · 06 February 2003, 08:20

As I said, I can't remember the site right now, but I will dig through my bookmarks (I'm pretty sure it was back when I was using Netscape), but I have about a trillion sites in that thing. If I can find it again, I'll post it here.

Yeah i remember i had some Polish games for the 1200 and i found they were always of exceptional quality!. I think that even Testament was Polish?.. not sure, but that was a great 3D texture mapped game.

Well it was a great game!. It didnt really get much press at the time, but for me it was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for publishing it and allowing the developers to bring it to us.

As some probably know, WHDLoad slave has been created for this game. However, either it has problems because it reports trap 0 exception when starting, or I have bad files.

Can someone please upload their working WHDLoad version of this game to the Zone, and specify the configuration?
