Amegas, collision detection issue

Rasmarkuyn · 25 January 2022, 17:21

Hello all,
first I want to say "Hello" to everybody as my account is pretty new.
Currently I am looking for a way to get the game Amegas running properly. I have no problems to start the game with adf file, sound and graphics are ok, but in the game a central function is not working. Amegas is one of those numerous Arkanoid clones, but I really like it as it was one of my favorite games when I was a kid. So sometimes when the ball hits a tile, the a bonus tile is falling down to the panel, and if you collect it with the panel, this provides some bonus features, like a shooting gun, or a glue function, or multi balls or slowing down the ball etc.
Now I am wondering if this is caused by the game or a corrupt adf file (which I can't really imagine) or by FS-UAE?
Help is really appreciated!
Best regards,
Jens from Germany

Have you ensured you have set all collision items on in Winuae?

Cant remember which option its under, chipset or an option near it but its possible for winuae for instance to ignore sprite collision

The game works without any special configuration.
You need to press the right mouse button to activate the extras. I had to learn this the hard way. I also played it back in the day but I couldn't remember.

Many thanks, jbl007!
Incredible, that's the solution! Now the game is making fun again.

Best regards,
Jens

Only played this yesterday going through the games on PiMiga. I'd forgotten about the right mouse button too! Switched to Crystal Hammer...
