Very interesting, this definitely needs to be rescued! Maybe it uses 256 color AGA graphics from the DOS version of Hired Guns.

There has been talk about the unreleased AGA version of Hired Guns here on the forum, which lists some more features.

Would be great to have this version released in some form, I'm currently working on a CD32 pack with this game in it, but it will need adding some keyboard commands to the pad.
Plus it would be interesting to know if they converted the save games into passwords for the unreleased CD32 version? |

If it's not a secret, is there somebody who does something with this case?
Worrying is that Sony have copyrights and probably it will be hardest thing. @Amigajay If there are passwords, i assume they will be very long. Password should include team experience, places of team members, all inventory with items/ammo quantity, monsters (alive/killed), etc. Maybe there are begin of level passwords, without most of mentioned features. |

I'm sure Sony doesn't know anything about Hired Guns and other old Psygnosis IP's. If not fans approach Sony we won't have Shadow of the Beast reboot. I would love to see Hired Guns AGA version.

Never underestimate Sony if it is going on copyrights and IP protection. Sony used to be very destructive!

Predseda do You have any examples of aggressive actions of Sony against fans? I still do not think we are doing here anything bad, we are talking about Hired Guns, this game was already released many years ago and only difference is that there is different version for AGA. Not totally new game, written from nothing, for those days pc's, that will be sold or use current Sony IP's stuff like characters and assets.

IMHO not possible, because at least inventory of each participant is critical for the game.

...and be patient.
No point in hammering the guy with e-mails / questions / requests every week. I mean, if he needs to go somewhere like his parents house to find the disks / media it could take a few weeks / months. |

I'm afraid that's not the case. I think there's Sony IP case, not data find/recovery. Just read what Steve Hammond told in interview - he have data already.

He's just spoken on the Retro Hour podcast. Really wants to get this out there. Sony can't still want it, pretty worthless for a new license surely?

Dan Wood of Retro Hour has been given access to it as far as i'm aware, so whether it gets released on the back of that I don't know.
Sony is very protective over their IP, but considering they've only revisted Shadow of the Beast and nothing else, I doubt very much Hired Guns is even on their radar. |

Was this release just a hacked A1200 version for the CD32?
