Downloaded last night burned and playing happily on my CD32. I just sat watching the intro with my jaw on the floor. Amazing work and makes me wonder why the software houses in the day didn't bother to do these games as they quality of this is so good it really shows up the mega drive.
Will be trying the AGA version tonight, again on the CD32 once I get it onto the CF card. |

Hey guys, thanks for the comments! It's been a crazy week for me as I recently became a dad. Road Avenger Amiga was published the day my son got born, so it's dedicated to him (sort of)!
@Glen M: If they had this made back then it would have blown off the competition entirely! It's a real question why nobody attempted something similar... Imagine this being made in the late '80s f.e. Surely 2mb machines and x2 cd roms or hefty HDDs were not so common but... Last edited by Tsak; 29 March 2018 at 23:43. |

Cheers all! Response has been larger and much more positive than I expected - a QTE/FMV game was never going to set the Amiga world alight, but I've nonetheless been pleased to see people have been enjoying it for what it is.
Time for a quick media roundup: Covered on IndieRetroNews, MO5, Generation Amiga, RetroMania. Videos featured on Saberman's channel [ Show youtube player ] channel, Petsajim's channel, [ Show youtube player ]channel, Amitopia [ Show youtube player ]. Amiga Bill livestreamed [ Show youtube player ] the premier of the OCS beta version over a month ago, and featured the release AGA version on his stream today stream today (he's also uploaded a version of the stream that's just the Road Avenger part). As a happy coincidence, Amiten and Ms Mad Lemon featured the game on their show immediately afterwards, and I happened to be around to give a live interview [ Show youtube player ]. (Or at least, I think that happened! The video above seems to be the last two hours of the stream which I unfortunately wasn't present for.) Predseda was very quick with getting the Lemon Amiga page up and running, kudos! |

I tried the AGA version last night on my CD32 with TF328 running from DH2: (drive I use for HDD installs) but it keeps crashing with a software failure either as soon as the interactive portion of the game would start or shortly after.
The CF card is setup with classic workbench lite, all partitions are formatted with PFS3. It might be that I extracted the lha in windows and just copied the folder across with winuae so I will try to extract the LHA in winuae using dopus. I did it in windows to save time as its a large file. BTW the aga version, its intro is beautiful. I'd say its near as be damned the full laserdisc quality. Actually I have some poorly mastered laserdiscs that look worse than this. Last edited by Glen M; 30 March 2018 at 11:36. |

well, laser games as alwasy liked to me, but these games i insert in various my collection to preserve it and share also outside Amiga comunity, where there retro gamers that yet don't know Amiga Games. (maybe, all retro gamers well known amiga, but they lost some gems)

I wonder if some of the other Laserdisc games could be "easily" ported, too?
Something like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Cobra Command, Thayers Quest. Or even Mad Dog Mc Cree or M.A.C.H. 3. .... or any of the other cool releases.... |

Having said the above we're not so keen continuing with yet another laserdisk port. Road Avenger and Time Gal are (imho) the best, most playable and presentable examples of the entire genre and I don't find much reason to continue this trend with other, less polished titles. Besides, we 've got much more interesting games we want to port, tinker with or create, so the possibility of Reimagine porting another laserdisk to Amiga is dim. Perhaps in the far future, but we'll see about that |

Time Gal and Road Avengers has arrows on screen that become more easy to play. Super Don Chixotte (don't remember the right name) has the same system and it's a fantastic laser game.

Thank you , Tsak. I didn't think of the IP. And of course I fully understand that you don't want to port mediocre or worse games for the rest of your life... :-)

It works perfectly on my CD32 with TF328, both the CD version and the HDD version.
Congratulations for this fantastic work. |

Yeah guys; this game is friggin' awesome
...had a good bash last night; much harder / more extreme than "Time Girl" and requires lightning quick reflexes. Again; many thanks for all your hard work bringing new stuff to the Amiga earok and Tsak!!! |

Eep, I keep missing updates! Thanks a whole bunch guys!
I've teased the idea of looking at other FMV ports in the past but Tsak's right.. between the lighthearted-and-funny Timegal and the intense/gritty Road Avenger, the ones we've ported are amongst the best out there (IMO) and the more well known ones out there are either still trademarked or sold. And of course, our release slate is full for at least the end of the year. Though it's entirely conceivable that we'll dust off Timegal with the updated Road Avenger engine for an AGA edition. I've had intermittent reports of some difficulty playing an HDD version (perhaps just the AGA edition?), such as like Glenn reported, though I don't have any such way of replicating issues at my end (only having a bare bones CD32, which it has no problems on). It's fortunate that everyone who has reported the issue has had an alternative way of playing the game (from CD or another AGA machine than the one it was playing up on) but if I can come up with a solution I'll post a patch. Also - Floppy Drive version is on the way! |

Sweet! Do you need 2 drives or how is the disk swapping with one?
