Transylvania - Bug?

[Seiya]

i try atari ST and PC and it works.
you can try to enter cabin as soon as you start adventure. Go directly into cabin, pull the antler and you go to the next room.
With Amiga version if you go at the Cabin and if you try it said "it wobbles".

so or it is a bug or Amiga version has a different verb ... I try to "pull antler", "take hantler", but every verbs, this antler wobbles, but it seems not enough to open secret door. I thought you have to use more power to move this object, but i don't how to say it.

Thanks for checking

We'd have to check multiple adfs of this game, or possibly a ipf if one exists?

I don't think that an IPF of the game exists, but the GameBase should be the most 'original' image: https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/G...ansylvania.zip

The game is quite rare, but fingers crossed that somebody can create an image of the original disk.

I have tried a few adf on the FTP and this one has the least buggy graphics but you cant get past the antlers. If you have too many goes a werewolf appears and kills you.

EDIT: although you can play this game the disk shows a checksum error on block 11 if you try to read in in WB

My savestate has the wolf killed already l, so you can have as many goes as you want..

As I've said the adf in archive seems to be working better then the gamebase one as gfx aren't corrupt with archive

nice game. I boot it up and the first thing that happens is that I see a werewolf and then after a single wrong command it killed me and I had to press the new button which I could not press because no mouse, not even with 512k ram.

I need to go for a walk in the sun now and if I see a werewolf I'm punching it.

You must remove slowmem for mouse to work..

Also there's a bit of effort/work to prepare to kill the werewolf. If the werewolf approaches beforehand just go to another direction

Here he not only did the werewolf frustrate him. But his adf was bad many gfx glitches..

I'll make a longplay if there's a fix.

can someone try MOVE ANTLER in the meantime?

[Superman]

MOVE ANTLER gives the reply "it wont budge".

[TCD]

Yep, here's a screenshot (using your savestate):

[ransom1122]

Yep quickly tried it mobile with retroarch using archive adf

Same result..



Looks like it's a case of the "ANTLER" Bug lol

[Superman]

HAHA!

[Superman]

I just tried the Atari ST version out of curiosity and that works fine.

[gimbal]

One for the "Atari ST version is better" thread then

[TCD]

Since it uses the 'Comprehend Interactive Novel' environment I wonder if the Amiga version could be fixed by either using the ST data or the Crimson Crown engine.

[Seiya]

As regards Gamebase, Transylvania is the US version, so NTSC. Glitches in gamebase because depends what kind of script they used.
However there is a version cracked by HeadBanger that has a saved game, but doesn't work in the Cabin.

i installed on HD that (even if not working) at least save on harddisk

There is an original for sale on eBay but it’s not cheap

[Seiya]

the problem is that also original Amiga version could have this bug
