The other games in the series are now called "Dark Seed" so you want this to follow protocol and be in name order

I have both Dark Seed II MAC RTG and Darkseed II MAC RTG game folders, I guess I can delete the later one since they are both the same?

Yes, if you have any configurations or <gamedirs> named "Darkseed" then please remove.

Awesome work again DamienD so thank you

[hitm4n]

Always nice to get a new pack Almost 50... (like me)

[hitm4n]

So to keep you on your toes, here's my list as promised.

First, i have created/edited 7 disks of my own to get games running or working on A1200 configs (but not all, Flaschbier is weird).

Axel Tetris (2020)(PD)(SQDisk)
Germz v21.2.14 (2021)(PD)(SQDisk)
Mindfighter (1988)(SQDisk)(Removed buggy intro)(Works on A1200)
Pump Up The Volume (1990)(PD)(SQDisk)
Quest For Galaxia (1993)(PD)(SQDisk)
Space Pilot Of Death (2021)(PD)(SQDisk)
Werner Flaschbier (1991)(PD)(SQDisk)(Removed buggy intro)(Needs weird config)

These are all plain old ADF disks, tested working.

Brainbow (PD)(1992)(ADF)
Coin Mania (PD)(1995)(ADF)
Drag and Drop (2020)(PD)(ADF)
Eight Feet Under - Hibernated 1 Addon (2019)(PD)(PolyPlay)(R6)(ADF)
Forest Dumb (1995)(ADFs)
Forest Dumb Forever (1996)(APC&TCP)(ADFs)
G.nius (1988)(Lankhor)(SPS0895)(ADF)
Gold Mine (1992)(PD)(ADF)
Hibernated 1 - This Place Is Death (2018)(PD)(PolyPlay)(R17)(ADF)
Imbrium - Day of Reckoning (1992)(LW)(ADF)
Interlock (1995)(PD)(ADF)
Jelly Othelly v1.1 (1995)(PD)(Daisy Software)(ADF)
Journey (1989)(Infocom)(r30)(ADF)
Looty V2 (2020)(PD)(ADF)
Nibby Nibble (1993)(PD)(ADF)
Not Cave Runner II (1990)(PD)(Cave Runner Enhanced)(ADF)
Redpill Puzzle v1.0 AGA (2020)(Lemming880)(ADF)
Rings Of Zon - Trilogy One Of The Zon Saga (1990)(Micro Fix)(SW-R)(ADF)
Schelobers Quest For A Babe (1993)(SW)(ADFs)
The Eire Raising Adventures Of Seamus OMally (1995)(PD)(VideoBionics)(ADFs)
The Invaders (1991)(PD)(Mental Image Game Disk 1)(ADF)
The Invaders II (1992)(PD)(Mental Image Game Disk 2)(ADF)

These games will need an HDF creating. I haven't got as far as looking at that yet. Can't see it being too tricky but if you have a minimal HDF file with a simple game on that i can modify that would be great. Do you have a go-to title you use when making new game HDFs?

Breakin Briks AGA (1995)(PD)(Needs HDF)
Emerald Mines CD32 (19xx)(PD)(BIN-CUE)(Needs HDF)
Mean Arenas CD32 (1993)(ISO-CUE + WHDLoad)(Needs HDF)
Poing Collection (1992-2002)(PD)(Needs HDF)
Psycheual (PD)(exe)(Needs HDF)
Rags AGA (2001)(PD)(Needs HDF)
The Lost Treasures Of Infocom (1991)(Activision)(SQDisks)(Needs HDF)
Tomcat (1994)(SW)(ADFs)(Needs HDF)

And this final one you said you would do.

Workaholic (1999)(PD)(ADF)(Damien Adding?)

38 games here.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Forest Dumb & Forest Dumb Forever!!! are already in my collection

I use the "L.K. Avalon" version; and don't think there's any difference with the "APC&TCP" version... it's just that APC&TCP purchased and re-distributed as far as I know.

Nope, again I create from scratch everytime as all hard drive games required different Fonts / Libs / programs to be installed etc.

Plus I also always try to create "bare-bones" .HDFs when I can i.e. no Workbench installation

One thing, I can see you've listed some CD32 games. Why would these need a hard drive?

Workaholic (1999)(PD)(ADF)(Damien Adding?)

Yes I will do this; just forgot before releasing the last Update Pack.

Doh. Missed those somehow. I shall remove from my list.

Remember, i haven't done this before. I just assumed a CD32 game would need to be WHDloaded to a HDF to play it. If the CD32 iso or bin/cue will play natively, then thats even better and hopefuly quicker to set up.

I have spent today, since uploading that list, going through some posts on Lemons forum by Predseda, listing games released for the last 8 years, back to 2012/2013. Useful threads.
https://www.lemonamiga.com/forum/vie...hp?f=2&t=17423

Comparing those lists, ignoring backbone games, and i've come up with another short list of games to test out and see if i think they are worth including. I think some will be for sure.

4096 (2014)(PD)(Coagulus) (unless a 4096 game is already included i don't know the title of?)(One nice version of this game would be neat to have)
CHIPS v1 (This is the one i had bug issues with collision, so needs a re-visit)
GlowTrack (2013)(PD)(Axel)
London Rain Matrix (2014)(PD)(Hitchhikr)
Modsurfer (2019)(PD)(Arcanist)
Oubliette v1.03 (2016)(PD)(James Wilkinson)
Tetris Pro v1.5 (2019)(PD)(Robert Ciesnik)
The Ninja Zombie Killer (2019)(PD)(edu_arana)

I think this pretty much exhausts my requests. My list is now everything i would like included that i used to own, everything i wish i had back then but could have now, everything released since that is new to me including PD and (old) commercial stuff.

So even after going through commercial lists, PD lists, forum posts and the last few years of releases, i've only found about 50 games (and i still might not include them all), it goes to show how complete your set now is.

You obviously have some game styles you don't like so much. Clearly, text adventures is one of them, so adding those would be for myself and other people. I understand the reluctance too to add games that are all in the same style, sokoban type games, boulderdash clones, tetris clones etc. but i think Workaholic looks and plays nicely and i'm a sucker for Tetris games. Seeing an updated version of Tetris Pro has got me giddy. I need to go play it! Hope its good.

So... Please let me know which games you will include. I have to be honest, i'm very much a novice with setting up WinUAE and making config files, and grabbing the screenshots, so my work is not going to compare to yours, so i would much rather you added all these and kept everything official and to your standards, but i know its no small amount of games and yo may have dismissed many of these titles many times before.

I can supply the custom disks i've done. I can help with testing etc. Let me know and any you won't add i'll start on myself. Thanks.

[AmiFox]

Awesome update! Thank you Damien

Both the old and the new version you refer to of "Tetris Pro" are already in my collection:

Old:

New:

The old version is better IMHO

Yeah, you won't find many text adventures in my collection; and absolutely zero "sports management" games.

[hitm4n]

I'm totally with you on the sports management. ALL my romsets are scanned for the words NFL, NHL, WWE, WWF, Hock, Socc, Manager, Foot, Euro, Fifa, UEFA, NBA, Basket, Madden, MLB, Baseball, Cricket and a few i've probably forgotten. These are then selectively removed. For instance, like you, i would keep SWOS as its fun (aside from the management parts) and golf games i quite like.

OK, Tetris Pro removed from list.

I'll await a yay/nay list and keep looking

[hitm4n]

Oh, btw. I had a go on 4096 last night before bed. Got to 512, games pretty good, works nice, but not very pretty.

[DamienD]

So I now have the GOG Catacombs Pack, should I add these games into my collection?

[ongoing] Catacomb 3D series and Keen Dreams

[Valken]

Yes for Catacombs Pack. I have it also and it is a near perfect game for Amiga. Still a whole lot of fun to blast through.

[hitm4n]

I'm not a fan of the games that need purchases to work or of the re-emulated works like the MAC stuff, but i think these are proper ports so they are true Amiga games and should be included. You've added commercial configs and screenshots before, and its your collection, so i think the choice is yours really. I'm sure many people would like the games, but for me, i'd play the Dos versions unless there was a significant upgrade to them on Amiga.

Alrighty

Yes we know hitm4n, you've said it numerous times now

Myself and others enjoy these though, no need to mess about with various systems; and personally I think they look great running in WinUAE, in terms of screen size / scanlines etc...

[DamienD]

Given the latest news about "Platoon [American Laser Games]", see this thread: American Laser Games (Mad Dog McCree and others)...

For anyone that wants to try it, please just download / extract this archive into "C:\WinUAE"

Oh, and for anyone that's forgotten:

<F1>	Service Mode (not that you need this)
<F2>	Start
<F3>	Insert Coin

Edit: note that currently it's impossible to reload your gun...

Edit2: Belgo figured it out

Hi Damien,

Got everything (inc. updates) downloaded now - unless I'm missing something obvious, MEGA.nz seem to have closed any loopholes to getting around their 5GB daily limit. Maybe you could check that for future info?
Anyway, I used a VPN to short-circuit it...

First impressions - absolutely astounded at the amount of work you've put in over the years. My congratulations & tipped-hat to you!

I've had a quick glance through the games list - nodding, smiling and exclaiming (when I see the name of something I'd forgotten/always wanted to have). I'm going to enjoy discovering more over the next few weeks!

One of the things I will be doing is removing the scan-lines. Happy to have them on my Speccy & C64 emus as I played the originals on a TV, but I had my A500 hooked up to a CM8833

Anyway, thanks again for all your hard work. Will stick a small thanks on your PayPal, and give some feedback on the thread soon.

[DamienD]

Heya PaperRoses65,

Appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback

Enjoy!!!

[hitm4n]

Of all the laserdisk games i've set up in Daphne, Singe and Singe 2.0 (all quite recently too), i've never got Platoon or Gallaghers Gallery working. So it's very cool to see them added here. Cheers.

[philgood1351fr]

Yeah but I wonder why we mix Laser games with Amiga....is it a nonsense ?
