Thank you for the people who informed me the game was still for sale, I was unaware that there were genuine amiga retailers available. But I do have a couple of comments regarding how quickly my thread was closed?

Firstly, there apparantly there is a demo, if someone had have uploaded that I would've been happy.

Also I don't think it's there are some double standards here, just because the game is on sale, I do not think the orignal developrs will see any money, the shop probably bought them at a huge discount bulk buy, left over unsold stock.

I am against piracy please note.

However I think it's odd that some titles that are put up on the zone, have still been available to purchase on the PC officially, but just because shops no longer sells the amiga version, does that give people the right to upload them here.

Hey

I think it´s okay to support the last few amiga shops out there.

The game is not THAT expensive.

Techincally, no, because it's still piracy. But who's going to chase up someone for up/downloading a 10-15+ year old game you can't buy anymore? It's not like the publisher will lose money from it (if they still exist) If you can still buy a game brand new from retailers, then they will probably get EAB closed down as they will lose money from it (something did, of course, happen similar to this recently), so it simply isn't worth the risk. Well, that's my guess anyway.

BTW: I may have a demo version on an old magazine CD if you still want it.... I'll take a look tomorrow.

Codename Hellsquad was released in 2000.
It´s not so old.

I have a demo, too.
I´ll try to upload it when I´m back home.
If it´s too big I´ll give you a download link.

Demo is in the zone. Give it a try

I remember talking to the developer on their forums back when the game was ending production, definitly worth a try.

Does anyone have a problem with saving? My game freezes when saving, although I can load position without problems upon reboot...
