Scoopex deftly released..........

Galahad/FLT · 22 March 2023, 21:19

Getting to be a bit of a habit this ain't it ?

So today, Scoopex managed to secure a game that frankly, is probably only held by a handful of people.

It was only released in France, and I doubt it sold particularly well, which is self evident by how rarely the game turns up on auction sites, which, is probably for the best, because some price gouging twat will try and sell it for £849.99 as they are currently trying to do with Putty Squad!!!!!

The name of the game...... Adidas Championship Football by Ocean Software!

Massive thanks to Paul Badham, the guy runs a channel on Youtube called @MrBads_Games

By sheer luck, he spotted it for sale on eBay presumably, bought it thinking it couldn't possibly be the Amiga version.....and won it for £4.99..... turned out it was the Amiga version!!!

So with some negotiation, I was supplied with the ADF, and thankfully because the RNC Copylock was so monumentally stupidly implemented, I didn't need the original disk to get the serial key, I was able to crack it without.

Programmer gallantly tried to encrypt the Copylock and threw in some self modified code to try and disguise the calls to the Copylock, which is rather silly, as that self modifying code meant it wouldn't work on anything above 68000 CPU.

All the Copylock calls removed, all the self modifying code bypassed, has a fair chance of working on most Amigas.

In the zone, you shall find.... Adidas Championship Football.

You know the score.... enjoy..... or not!

Carry on!

A bit of a change : This game was never published by Ocean France.

Why ? Simply because programs made by Ocean UK teams were published by Ocean UK, and the same applies to Ocean France. It was the french Ocean studio, and they never ever published games by themselves.

Pang, Cabal, etc were all published by the UK Ocean HQ.

The game has been published in UK, Germany, France and Italy.

I have preserved the very rare Amstrad CPC tape version quite while now :

User error in your WinUAE config? This game is an ADF image. Not IPF. Doesn't use this plugin

Storm · 23 March 2023, 07:03

Very nice! Works in WinUAE, but I will put it on floppy for my real Amigas until a WHDLoad version arrives.

How do you get that error with an ADF disk image?

acidbottle · 23 March 2023, 11:20

Fantastic stuff, thanks

Remember seeing the adverts but never the game, though that wasn't entirely unusual back then!

Yeah... Just had a look at the SPS database and those are indeed all (except for Foundations Waste) ST images. Guess I'll move them over and get rid of that 'official IPF' folder as they are all in TOSEC anyway.
