Cinemawares Sinbad Image is a CRACK!
I was amazed to find that the Amiga Image of Sinbad from the Cinemaware website, is actually a crack from a group called Megabyte.

It's because of the copyprotection on the original disks. Many companies offer cracked versions of their old Amiga games. Check out the Thalion webshrine...

and for how many years did we tell them all that copy protection was a bad thing?

Excellent.
The gameplay looks like the C64 (as I've played very similar scenes many, many moons ago) but of course the graphics are way too good. It has to be the Atari ST version doesn't it??? |

The Apple IIGS version was supposedly the best during my research. I think the ST was very similar.

Have you looked at the Amiga version though... How could there be such a difference in graphics from it and the screens above?

Other games on the cinemaware site have been cracked by different groups, like wings was cracked by skid row.

Already did. They were planning to put up the IPF's instead... But it never happened...

Nice one faith
I wonder why they didn't do it? I believe the only Cinemaware game that needs a manual (or otherwise to be cracked) is Wings. The rest should be fine... |

CinemaWare are releasing "revamped" versions of their old classics, thanks to clickBOOM (yes, they're still around), could the screenshots be from one of them?

well at least they have allowed their software into the public domain...
and i dont suppose they could be bothered to spend time removing the copy-protection (or cracking their own software) i wish other companies followed their example |
