I am looking forward to play it on my real Amiga using two joys and I can't wait my box to come.

Here is lemon entry https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=4992

Please H0ffman check it and let me know in case of mistakes.

That all seems good. There were two more reviews that I know of in the two most recent issues of Retro Gamer and Zzap.

I do not get Tape Room, manual is not helpful in that. I can turn up and down volume there - shall I buy Amiga Addict to understand it too?

h0ffman · 21 June 2024, 00:19

Pro-tip, shoot the play button ( and watch out for your ears! ). That sound might be familiar....

EDIT: you actually need to find the tapes first before they appear in there...

EDIT: OK.. here is the first one.....

The game is really cool! And even though I've finished the game (thank you for congratulations, malko) I didn't visit all the rooms and didn't get all the achievements.

I might give it another go just to explore and see what I've missed.

And the music is fantastic!

Has anyone else tested this on AMIGA with PISTORM?
Unfortunately I noticed that the PIXEL effects are absent on mine...
Both ADF and WhdLoad

TCD · 21 June 2024, 19:36

h0ffman is aware of the issue and a new slave will be available soon-ish.

I have built a replacement slave for it. It might even work on the Vampire?! Anyway, replacement slave file will be released in due course.

If you pop into the pistorm discord and find the whdload wrapper channel, you'll find the new slave. Waiting for some more testing before we do an official release.

I just got the game, and it´s really cool!
Smooth gameplay with lots of effect´s and a great tune to go with all the blasting.
And lot´s of secrets to discover it seems =)

However I got a question.
How do you pronounce the title of the game?
is it Keckonoid, Sessoniod, Seckonoid?

The game is named after Raffaele Cecco. He is on twitter, you can ask him directly

If Raf uses an authentic pronouciation for his surname I'm thinking Syeck-uh-noid or similar? He may have Anglicised it slightly to make it Check-oh-noid or similar though, a la Daniel Ricciardo, which I'm sure no Italian would pronounce Rick-ah-doh.

h0ffman · 23 June 2024, 22:47

The ambiguity is what I live for

ransom1122 · 24 June 2024, 04:15

I wonder if chatgpt is correct?

"Cecconoid" is pronounced as "Chek-uh-noid." The pronunciation breaks down as follows:

"Cec" sounds like "check"
"co" sounds like the "uh" sound in "comma"
"noid" sounds like "noid," similar to the ending in "android"
So, "Cecconoid" is "Chek-uh-noid."

I've just assumed it SeSS-a-noid all along

saimon69 · 24 June 2024, 05:47

Tried to explain the pronunciation to Amiga bill once, i think he missed that

DisasterIncarna · 24 June 2024, 12:19

in my head-cannon its seek-ah-noid, then again ive kinda always done this with words im not sure of, i just end up using whatever feels/sounds easier to say even if later i find out the correct pronunciation i still end up sticking to what ive been using for ages/originally.

it would be pretty weird asking raphael, "so er, weve all got this question...... HOW IS your name pronounced?"

malko · 24 June 2024, 13:46

Do you think that some asm coders may pronounce it as : SEKA-no-i-d ?
