Summer Chill 2022: D/Generation

I thought we could try something a little different for summer break. This is a play-through where you can save your game and continue later at your own pace. The aim is to get as far as you can. Also, to encourage people to update everyone on their progress and add a little friendly competition if you wish, we can keep track of the number of survivors you rescue. I recommend posting an update after each game session where you advance.

At any time you can press S to display your stats/score - post screenshots of that. I'll keep scores for the 3 weeks of break but feel free to continue to finish the game after that. This action adventure game is a little different to most on Amiga and I'd encourage giving it a try.

D/Generation [lemon] [hol]
You are a courier, delivering a package to a genetics lab where everything has gone horribly wrong. Work your way through 10 floors of the building, rescuing people and destroying mutants.

Second button or T to throw grenades. ENTER to talk with survivors. Press U to view weapons/items, ENTER to select. ALT-R restarts level. ESC to pause.

ALT-S saves game. CTRL-R restores saved game. Saved games load at the beginning of the level you saved on. If you prefer to use save states, use them only at the start of each level.

Scoring Ends: 23:59 (UK Time) on Saturday 2nd July 2022

A nice choice here Biscuit :)

Biscuit 15 June 2022 11:46

Feel free to join in malko. It's such a good game. One of the best and still holds up.

I've made it through the first two floors. Think I got everything. Found the hidden switches etc. Had some tense moments, especially with an eye sensor I missed. But these two floors are fairly easy, really good intro to the mechanics.

And just about time, I got to discover the game! I got the AGA version tho, does count the same?

Biscuit 15 June 2022 12:02

Hi SoDa7. Yes, you can use the AGA version. That's cool. As far as I know the gameplay is the same.

Biscuit 16 June 2022 00:05

Another floor complete. I blasted a survivor in a tricky room near the end (was gobbled up anyway) and lost a few lives. Need to be quick and accurate for a perfect run.

What a charming place to start on 83. Surrounded by traps.

Another exciting day in the tower. I met John of Maryland the Bringer of Death, and the neurotic River who I tried to set up a date with.

On floor 86 now. Looks like there are two routes off floor 85, I took the longer one for extra lives etc.

Rescued: 30

I wasn't planning on finishing it today but they called an airstrike and I got caught up in it. I had less than 5 mins to finish the last level which took a few bad endings to get used to doing it quickly.

From Floor 86 onwards it gets a lot harder to rescue people and make it past the turrets. The trippy stuff in the computers is so 90s VR. Had loads of fun with this.

Rescued: 37

Would have liked to get involved in this but I've barely got any free time :(

Biscuit 02 July 2022 02:14

:(

I'm sure the E/Generation could clone you for extra productivity, or gaming.

malko 06 July 2022 12:57

Even if the closing date is due, I am still playing it on my small spare time and will soon post a screenshot. Actually have rescued 22 people :)

malko 20 July 2022 16:27

By the way, does anyone figured out what has to be done "inside" the computer on level 86, scene 69 ?

https://i.ibb.co/6gy8rN3/lev86scn69.png

Biscuit 20 July 2022 19:23

I tried that computer a few times and couldn't outrun the 'creature'. I wondered if it was only intended to be a sneak peek into the computer VR. Not sure.

You are getting close to the finish now. :)

malko 20 July 2022 20:22

I have tested it a few times as well and have seen that depending on "where" you get caught, the scene 69 turn again in an insecure state and it happens also that the door to scene 68 closes itself letting you stuck here.
I am wondering if something "useful" to the game has to be done here?
Sad that I couldn't find any information either on the manual nor internet...

Biscuit 22 July 2022 00:04

It's a mystery. I couldn't get any different results from it. I don't remember what happened with doors but I never got stuck. I might take another look at it.

malko 25 July 2022 17:24

D/Genertion is a great game. Playing it again and finishing it for the first time was a real pleasure.

Just for the fun out of it, here is my screenshot :

And as a bonus I have finally finished* something started BitD, meaning the mapping of the game.
*restarted would be more correct :D

Totally. I'm a huge fan. And I added your score. Well played.

Those maps look amazing. I love the style of this game, always been a bit of an isometric junkie. Great to see the maps up on HoL.

Very helpful too, I could see the room after the 6 teleports on floor 87. It was the only bit I didn't explore this time. Been there before but forgot where it led.

malko 01 August 2022 18:17

We can thanks TCD for the posting of the maps on HOL. :great

Yes, a brilliant game with a very good mix between maze and difficulty. And the isometric 3D is well handled. I only regret 1 bug : on some levels, a red/black "guy" runs after you to kill you as soon as he touches you. If you manage to block him behind a door, and change screen, by magic he will follow you on the other screen. I will try to replay part of level 86 to record what I describe.

Anytime :) HOL is also the reason why I didn't get to play this game. The circle of retro things :spin

malko 01 August 2022 19:52

As you can see I manage to "jail" the red/black guy (no way out for him as doors are closed). Nevertheless he follows me on the other screen...
Here is what I mean :
