Games that write on gamedisk?

[kremiso]

Wondering if we already have a list of the Amiga games that mandatory require the gamedisk(s) to be writtable, to store ie settings or highscore

i have encountered SoccerKid and Virocop just recently, finally playing the originals

EDIT once i added the thread, this appeared lol

https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=22601

EDIT x2
about Virocop, it's imo interesting to know that the world saving doesn't work on the cracked copies, just with the original
with the cracked copies you need to use the trainer to start at the begin of later worlds, on the original it does saves on disk and you will find the option on main menu instead

We also have a 'feature' list about that on HOL: https://amiga.abime.net/games/list/?...-feature-id=59

oh TCD turned brown, congrats
that list include the 'whatever' saving criteria, like settings or highscore?
or just ingame savings related?

Thank you

Good question. I'll ask how it is meant.

It does mean only saved games, not settings and high score tables. We might add a different entry for the highscore table saving games.

That list seems to be missing a lot of saved games, especially RPGs, eg. Demon's Winter, Phantasie 1 & 3.

The list is very likely incomplete. We could use this thread to fill in the gaps. Would be great if people could add the info if the save feature is limited to the game disk or if a blank disk can be used too.

[kremiso]

maybe some titles included in the old thread should be checked and also added

---
The Plague does saves highscore and highscore background picture (used also ingame) on disk

Uridium 2 does saves highscore and reached world, to restart on the further worlds after a reset

TCD, i'm not sure about why Darkmere is included into the hol list atm
iirc you must format a custom disk to use it as a save disk, no savings on the gamedisks

If somebody can confirm that this is the case I'll change the information on the HOL entry.

you know, i could be wrong but looking better that list seems including the games that need a savedisk in first lol

there is Cannon Fodder, Dune...
those games do not write on gamedisks
