@andreas:
When I copied the game back in the ole days, the guy told me "you better disable external drives for the game to work properly". I never had external drives back then, so I never noticed any problem but it might bring issues , otherwise the guy wouldn't have said anything. Keep an eye out for extra-drive related issues

@Belgy
Find attached a nicer title screen for you to update the HOL

Heeeeh..

Maybe *that* is the reason for those DUMB FECKING resets after choosing 'New Game'.
It works everytime after it reset; you also have to consider that you must press the fire button WHILE loading

[WinUAE]
I figured out that if you let it finish loading, it will reset again

Amiga1992 · 20 September 2004, 22:21

Strange, I only got a reset if clicking on TRAINING, the rest of the game worked fine until the black screen with music

Galaxy · 20 September 2004, 23:11

Accordording to the advert it's for 'ALL AMIGAS: A500, A1000, A2000, A3000', which would lead one to believe it must be pretty well behaved. However, this is obviously not the case under emulation. The game also requires at least 1MB of memory ruling bog standart A500s and A1000s out.

The game worked first time when I tried it on my A600. None of this resetting crap that you have to suffer under WinUAE. Multiple disk drives are also not a problem. Is not compatible with my A1200.

I think that says it all

I was going to say this in my previous post, but I then managed to get it working on a real Amiga.

@belgarath

You are right about the advert being corrupt file size definitely to small - reuploaded.

It may be possible to play 2 player - I noticed on the option screen you can change the 'Computer' option (bottom LH corner of screen) to 'Co-pilot'.

@akira

I got resets when I clicked on training, when I clicked on level and picked another level, from the screen where you choose the pilot, from the ship customisation screen ...

@andreas

You were probably told to disable drives to to memory constraints on A500s - it was pretty common for !MB games to recommend the disabling of any external drives.

Amiga1992 · 20 September 2004, 23:28

I was the one being told to disable the drives

Galaxy · 20 September 2004, 23:32

Ok my mistake (I've only just got up)

Belgarath · 21 September 2004, 13:13

Advert added to HOL entry and simultaneous players changed to 2.

Looks this beast is hard to get in original form.
BTW, I dare believe that the game is developed by Infacto, but not necessarily published.
"Sohor Ty" sounds like Infogrames and stuff.

Box desperately sought after.

Galaxy · 30 July 2005, 04:19

I think Infacto was a publilsher. Could be an in-house development. See the ad scan that I added to hol: http://hol.abime.net/5168/miscshot

Is there some one that can reupload in da zone.
THX!

...and it seems to be playable and passable shoot'em up, though hard one. Could it be zoned again? Last time in the zone must been ages..

DamienD · 14 April 2007, 18:17

Back in The Zone! for you guys

Old Fool · 14 April 2007, 19:12

Thanx DamienD

I bet this one is better than Apano Sin - another forgotten then come back SCHUMP..

Galaxy · 14 April 2007, 23:12

The game looks way better than it actually is...

Old Fool · 22 April 2007, 16:22

Now I really tried the game on my Amiga and...

It's boring and sluggish. So much potential, so great loading routines, so well done graphics and for what? Gameplay is wasted when your ship is moving like a drunken snail.

I just wonder how empty feeling the game development crew mus have when after all those sleepless nights and hard working the result is a flop. It must be a nightmare... Shame.

Old Fool · 22 April 2007, 16:23

Does this game even have a cheat codes?? I would really give this one a second change.

NPI · 26 April 2007, 10:02

how did you made the game work? all I got is a black blank screen after the ship takes off...

Old Fool · 26 April 2007, 11:56

Are you using an emulator or a real thing? If real, is your disk D (4) formatted blank disk with write enabled? Can't say what other problem it could be..

Galaxy · 26 April 2007, 11:58

NPI: the game really isn't worth the effort...
