Is that OK? I'm still learning the rules here, so please be patient with me

Perfect Scans to the HOL FTP and everything else to Turran's FTP is exactly right. Thank you for the disk scan


I'm almost done with the Skarabeusz manual. Should be available tomorrow.

I have just found out Jewels, a MIA game for years, sitting on Turran's ftp

https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/jewels

http://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/Co...Disk%20Boxes)/

There is also a lot of Lynk's stuff to check, I'll see what I can do. Most of the disks are already known, some are empty, but others might be something interesting.

Speaking of Italian games, DoubleByte was an Italian in-house publisher that have three games on TOSEC marked as PD (Sexy 2, Mani Pulite and Techno Ninja... Out of which only Sexy 2 have a HoL entry). I think that's wrong as they are apparently released boxed and even sold in some shops, according to this article:

https://oldgamesitalia.net/museo/318-Mani_Pulite

They also have a few games not in TOSEC, nor anywhere else could they be found: Arcana Imperii, Sexy 1 and Dr. Jhon (not a typo). Were they ever released? Apparently Sexy 1 (PC version) was reviewed in an Italian magazine (PC Action).

Also found Bridge 4.0, a long time MIA

Thank you

About DoubleByte I hope that somebody from Italy can shed some light on how the games were distributed. Looks like it wasn't PD.

I made a thread on request old rare games. Guess it's worth a shot. Maybe someone could ask about those in an Italian Amiga forum about them.

The double Barrel Screenshot for needs to be re done.

When game is played with a higher KS or higher chipram all items and enemies become wireframe or messed up (as see in double barrel screenshot)

https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/oo-topos

I took a replacement fixed screenshot if you want to use it instead, but im not sure if it meets the requirements of hol screenshots as I dont know the screenshot guidelines

All other screenshots for the game in hol are ok

[TCD]

Thank you for the heads up

If you could tell me the emulation settings to get the right screenshot or take it again with Line Mode in Display set to Double and in Output with the boxes 'Take screenshot before filtering' and 'Autoclip screenshot' checked in WinUAE that would be great

[ransom1122]

Drop the ks to 1.2, or from what I've been told only use 512Kb Chip RAM

[TCD]

Thank you I'll update the screenshot during the next days.

[ransom1122]

OK Thanks,

Here you go..

[TCD]

Perfect I've exchanged the image (won't be visible until tomorrow).

None of the download links work for Nothingness: The Triad
https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/n...ness-the-triad

[TCD]

I've fixed the links and they will work tomorrow. Here is the Aminet download link for the demo: https://aminet.net/game/demo/Nothingness.lha

[ransom1122]

Yes Im aware of the Aminet link, I was more concerned that the hol links were broken for that game. Cheers

[TCD]

Thank you for the heads up We are aware that some links don't work (due to websites being offline and for other reasons) and will try to fix those.

Welp, all I could find on Lynk's collection (that is relevant) is GO for the Amiga. A game from 1988 (the files are dated to this year), advertised in a few magazines:

Nonetheless thank you for going through the lot

Hi again,
Disk scan for Quaptos (Twin Spark Soft), just uploaded to my directory on ftp.
Cheers!

[TCD]

Thank you I've added the disk scan to the HOL entry (will be visible tomorrow).

[uicr0Bee]

Hey again. Three new disk scans in my dir on HOL ftp, for the existing entries:
1. Ubek - https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/ubek#scans - Disk 1, as you only had Disk 2 so far,
2. Prawo Jazdy v1.0 - https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/p...10#information
3. Prawo Jazdy - I think it should be this one: https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/prawo-jazdy, though I'm not 100% sure, as the program from my disk #1 does not start properly.
