Pfff and I didn't get a guest release

Printable PDF of the dvd guest covers can be found here. I must admit I have only done the DVD Jewel case at the moment. If there is demand for the others I will probably do them.

@gaz thanks! I've updated the original post with the new link.

@neil If you want to do a conversion we'll be happy to post it

although we probably owe you a conversion or two for all of the amazing coverage you gave us. What would you like to see?

To tell you the truth, I'd love to see a sci-fi strategy collection with

Millennium 2.2 & Deuteros
Utopia & K240

If you can do those, I'd be the happiest Amiga gamer right about now and I'm sure a write up would gather some excitement as well

How about changes in the version 1.2 of "CD32 160 Game Compilation"?
What changes were made?

And yet, I have one very important proposal for this project. All you know how uncomfortable jump by pressing "Up" on the joystick. Could you add in all the games second jump button (Red, Blue or others)?

earok · 15 October 2014, 10:26

Not sure if there's been many changes, just there were some games that were broken before, also loading times should be faster.

It requires someone much smarter than me to add second button support for all of the platformers

I see

I know it's a joke, isn't it?

Is it possible at all to change button mappings?

earok · 15 October 2014, 10:34

Yes, but it requires the WHDLoad authors to add the functionality, it can be complicated and needs to be done per game.

Anyway, if one day you'll take care of that and begin to implement...

I'll be waiting

I was thinking about bringing some old DOS games (I'm talking REALLY old DOS games, since they're emulated) to the CD32 - but, well, I know how absurd the idea sounds.

As a test I did Alley Cat CD32 (using FreeDOS and PC-Task), it's in the zone. Red for jump, Blue for special, Green/Yellow/Reverse/Forward for difficulties 1/2/3/4. Takes about five minutes to load.

So... It's possible to change mapping in all platformers at "160 games ..." ?

+1 on that! But I'd guess at least Utopia would require a keyboard as you need to type in figures.

gazj82 · 15 October 2014, 19:02

Some old DOS games would be pretty cool. Commander Keen, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Crystal Caves, Secret Agent are a few that spring to mind. Not sure if they are old enough.

earok · 15 October 2014, 21:51

Possibly not quite old enough, while Alley Cat seems to work ok (maybe slightly sluggish), Karateka for instance was just too slow to be playable. Unless maybe I can get PC-Task running in 'dynamic' mode.

Cooljerk · 15 October 2014, 23:21

Sent a few PMs, I have some games I've converted that I'd like to contribute to this project

All running on stock CD32.

16 October 2014, 21:09

To everyone involved in every stage of making these CD32 releases happen, I just wanted to say that you've made my day. When you take into account the awesome RGCD releases and other odd unofficial ports floating around the internet (Rodland!!) Its a great time to dust off the old grey console and play some long overdue games which should have had official releases. If you ever get around to releasing the Bubble Bobble / Rainbow Islands Collection then I may just pass out with joy!

Posted version 1.1 of Breathless, the major new feature of this update is the ability to save your progress to NVRAM.

Naturally we're going to look at adding the NVRAM save feature to other games too
