Chaos Engine: Cannot trigger special attack
I am playing the Chaos Engine for first time as it was one of the games which I heard about but was unable to find when I had an Amiga in the 90s (here in the US it was very challenging to find Amiga games at retail).I am playing on an PAL A500 with ACA500+ and loading the game via WHDload and the Tinylauncher frontend.The game works fine but I can't seem to activate my special attack. Holding the fire button for two seconds (as specified in the manual) results in my guy standing still and firing non-stop. I know that some games exhibit weirdness under WHDLoad - or am I missing something about the controls? I expect that this is "user error" on my part but appreciate any assistance.
Thanks Dave |

Second button also works natively on that game AFAIR.
What a great game. I envy you as you're about to discover it! |

You begin with no speical power... Special power is limited... You need to build your special power, grab these after you get the gold key in level 1
Your special power will increase. From here you can use your special power by holding the fire button down... Also 2nd fire button is to change/swap your weapons |

I wish I'd found a copy back in the day to play with my college friends. My area was a MS-DOS PC wasteland by that time. Placing myself in my early '90s mindset, I would have been floored by this game.
