Amiga BEETLE 1993 Full Game by Unique Styles

Hello

I am new to the forum. I am the creator artist of the Amiga Beetle game (1993)

I no longer have the full version. I am looking for it, if some one can let me know if they have the full game. I would be grateful.

There is a cheat mode to give unlimited lives. If we can find the full game I will tell you what that is.

The cheat mode also works on the demo.

Regards
D R Hall

Hello there D R Hall,

Welcome to EAB

Had a quick look but can only find these:

... Beetle (demo-playable) (1993)(Unique Styles)(SW).adf
... Beetle (demo-playable) (1993)(Unique Styles)(SW)[PD-Soft].adf
... Beetle (demo-playable) (1993)(Unique Styles)(SW)[a2].adf
... Beetle (demo-playable) (1993)(Unique Styles)(SW)[a].adf
... Beetle (demo-playable) (1993)(Unique Styles)(SW)[h ALE].adf

Will keep looking and check some HDDs when I get home...

Edit: Oh found these as well on the EAB file server; not sure if it helps:

... [HD] BEETLE (incl extras).zip
... [ADF] BEETLE (1994)(Unique Styles)(PD).zip
... [ADF] BEETLE (1994)(Unique Styles)(PD)[h ALE].zip

This one should be the full version "/Commodore_Amiga/Game/Shareware (full versions)/Beetle (incl extras).zip"

Inside the archive are the following files:

... BEETLE.adf
... BettleRegistrationLetterPage1.jpg
... BettleRegistrationLetterPage2.jpg

Thumbs up

Hello to all

I now have the full game and a copy of the original letter I sent out when people paid for it.

As promised the cheat code:

Now the magic begins.
Play the game and set a high score, type in the word COLEOPT, it is Latin short word for beetle "coleoptrea"
Unlimited lives are now yours, if you do it right you will see that the two beetles on the full game now have masks on like bandits

I never kept track of how many bought it, just £5.00 notes and cheques through the door, was magic, I could not believe it worked.

LET ALL THE GRUBS BE SAVED....

All the best

Thanks for this great game D R Hall! I actually plan to make a playthough video soon. Just a question, how many levels are there? One screenshot on HOL says 100 and another one says 200.
