I think there is a block of $200 bytes free, and thats it!

Was quite an effort to get all the data from the original to go on a DOS disk.

Well I can imagine!
That's why back then, some teams had to have a guy who could code his own packing routine in a whale of a time because the standard ones were far less effective.-

BTW, just test-played the version w/intro in A1200 (quickstart) until about 2 levels after the 1st boss. (iirc)
Music stopped abruptly, got black screen.

Hopefully I can reproduce the thing also by using save-state files.

Has anyone unlocked 2 player simultaneous mode yet?

dlfrsilver · 03 October 2008, 03:36

it doesn't exist, they have not implemented it.

Could be nice to put it in

Codetapper · 03 October 2008, 05:10

It would be impossible to put in I fear - it was never implemented because it would have caused the game to drop a frame and run at 25fps rather than 50. That would cause major headaches aside from all the extra collision code you would need to add and AI code to alter to track the nearest player.

I just found out that this game was made for Amiga, and recently released for the public. I have found both WHDload and IPF formats but unfortunately both of these are unusable for me. Any idea where I can get it in an .adf format - I would like to try it out on a minimig!

In the zone for you, everblue

To make IPF format as usable as ADF you just need to download the Software Preservation society (Win)UAE plugin.

http://www.softpres.org/download

I guess if you are using an X-Box or PSP etc. then sure the IPF image is of no use to you. Some preservation huh?

No problem,
Because it is a "Flashtro" crack with trainer it should be also available on "MagixFTP",
there is a big archive with trainers by "Flashtro", also single file archives, i think.

Yes there is

Here is how to access Magix FTP : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=38697
Look in the folder 'rare_games/GamesTrainers (not in TOSEC)'

TCD · 10 July 2009, 07:51

Sorry redblade, but what do you mean? The Snow Bros version has a cracktro made by Photon.
