Welcome to the competition

S0ulA55a551n · 08 February 2016, 00:40

sorry this is probably an obvious questions as it says no continues, but does that mean you cant use any retries ? so you only get one chance ?

Predseda · 08 February 2016, 06:39

I think without retries you are not even able to get to a hiscore table? I think in Roadkill retries are consumed automatically, so it is okay?

Graham Humphrey · 08 February 2016, 08:17

Yes, they're just lives rather than continues.

S0ulA55a551n · 08 February 2016, 08:36

Thanks for the clarification

Lonewolf10 · 08 February 2016, 12:48

Urghh... I'm having no luck at all getting this game started

ADF disk 1 - I can't get past the intro. Yes it says press "Enter" to quit - but pressing Enter does not quit!! Neither does the mouse keys do anything either

So, I tried the WHD version instead... only to get the following error message:

error during 'resload_LoadKick'
invalid kickstart image 'devs:kickstarts/kick40068.a1200'

Can anyone help me please?!!

S0ulA55a551n · 08 February 2016, 13:12

I couldn't get passed the cracktro. I used the whdload version. Have you get the kickstart files in the kickstarts directory ? U on real Amiga or emulation ?

jeff b00toNic · 08 February 2016, 13:51

Don't know if it's allowed but you could try the CD32/AGA version without intro.

Yes, the following files are in System:devs/Kickstarts/

Code:

kick40068.A1200     513 KB     04/05/2006     10:48:36
kick40068.A1200.RTB     5 KB     21/03/2003     22:24:26

and I'm using emulation (WinUAE).

S0ulA55a551n · 08 February 2016, 15:43

Can I suggest downloading amikit Great setup and whdload games just work

This is much harder than what I remembered!

Shatterhand · 11 February 2016, 02:40

Does using CD32 controller helps on anything if I playing it on Winuae with a 360 controller? How do I fire missiles?

EDIT: Ok, figured out how to configure CD32 controller on WinUae, my button layout now kinda sucks, but I can fire missiles

Predseda · 11 February 2016, 08:00

Don't worry, it sucks even in original CD32 mode. Pressing red for acceleration and pushing green for firing missiles is a pain.

S0ulA55a551n · 11 February 2016, 10:10

I tried the cd32 Iso and the whdload version set it to cd32 and just can't get it to fire missles so if u work out it out let me know

Shatterhand · 11 February 2016, 16:59

On Winuae, go to INPUT, on top select the controller you are using. You can now remap the buttons below to act like CD32 buttons.

I couldn't map the buttons that are default Amiga buttons 1, 2, 3 on my 360 controller, but I could remap all the other buttons to CD32 buttons. And then I could fire missiles

As I didn't know what button was what, I just mapped everything on anything at any order. I was acellerating on RB and firing with X though. It was weird, but it worked

Now about the game.

After Slam Tilt, did we really had to play another game with JACKPOTs and stuff ?

I really don't like how your car stays on middle of screen all the time, the camera could move a little bit so you could see more ahead. And the way collisions are handled is a *real* pain in the ass, you car just points to a random direction or go nonsense-ly spinning around.

But the very arcade-y feeling is cool, and a racing game with some kind of score system is really something different and fun to try out. I only tried it a couple of times yesterday, no decent score so far, but I can see there are lots of strategies to make more points, but some of them are also risky.
