REQ: Toado - Frogger '94 (full version)

andreas · 15 December 2002, 23:19

After quite a while, another request from me.

I just tested all three TOSEC images of 'Toado' and, all of them were demos.

Toado (1994)(J. Wills)

This is a demo version and public domain.

Toado (1994)(J. Wills)[cr Legend]
Toado (1994)(J. Wills)[cr Legend][a]

These two are demo versions too, but taken from AMIGA FORMAT magazine, February 1994 issue.
http://amiga.emugaming.com/af/af056.html

If you let the intro stay a while, you can read it clearly.

So this is no crack but just a hack!

So does anyone happen to own the full version with all 20 levels?
Thanks in advance for digging

Yikes! a thread of mine from 2002 (two thousand and two in words).
But yes, rsn's request for another full version of a shareware game indeed reminded me of this

So back up with it again ... there is always a chance ...

Wanting the full version as well,so is it going to be third time lucky i wonder.

Peter · 05 May 2010, 16:53

There was an F1 Licenseware version of this released - I know because I spoke to the author about it - he very honestly didn't take my money for the full version but pointed me in the direction of F1 to get a full copy - he was a nice guy, I remember speaking to him on the phone for quite some time about... Amiga's!

Surely the F1 full version must be around somewhere... I will check my stuff.

mike4466 · 05 May 2010, 17:25

its worth looking for because its a great game and one of the best versions of frogger i have played.
I wonder if he still lives at the address and if he does will he still have the game after all this time i wonder.

Peter · 05 May 2010, 18:00

I am sure I have a version of some sort on disk somewhere - I will have a hunt and post back here...

TCD · 05 May 2010, 18:07

Fingers crossed that it's the full version Peter

If you don't find it, you could ask for it here : http://www.f1-software.com/f15d_amiga.php (but I'm sure you already have that on your list

)

Peter · 05 May 2010, 18:21

I already contacted F1 - but the guy doesn't remember having it... :-(

I'm sure the original author sold it to F1...

BTW - mike4466 - doesn't the cracked version have all the levels anyway?

mike4466 · 05 May 2010, 19:43

I have tried all the versions in eab and elsewhere and there all demo's.

mike4466 · 05 May 2010, 20:19

On the legends crack version it says the full version is available on amiga format so i went to abime.net and on the feb 94 issue it says they have a 3 level demo and send £5 for the full version ahhhhhhhhh!

Peter · 06 May 2010, 22:21

Rats - the version I had on disk is the AF Demo - I can't believe that this is another full version that I had back in the day (I hate that expression!) now only to be left with the Demo!!!

mike4466 - do you have the author's details anywhere on any of the disks you have - I could try to get in touch with him - but don't hold your breath for an answer - contacting authors is REALLY a long shot these days and unfortunately I rarely get a reply (sigh)

mike4466 · 06 May 2010, 22:33

consider it done

Graham Humphrey · 06 May 2010, 22:37

Am I the only one who thinks posting a random person's (probable) address on a public forum without their knowledge is a bad idea?

EDIT: Cheers Mike!

mike4466 · 06 May 2010, 22:40

The address is on the game itself you just have to wait a little while for it to show up.

Peter · 06 May 2010, 22:40

That's my fault - I should have said PM me the details - I have the details I need now so, your right Graham - it might be an idea to delete the details now...

Sorry - thanks for the info mike - I will contact the author... again - only spoke to him about 14 years ago!!

mike4466 · 06 May 2010, 22:46

Cant find a phone number he must be x directory
Although what would his reaction be ringing out of the blue he might not like it so it might be best to write to the address instead.

Peter · 06 May 2010, 22:58

I might have a few beers first then try to call... "you wont remember me but...!"

No, I agree - I will drop him a line!

mike4466 · 06 May 2010, 23:07

The best of luck peter.

Im off to bed now im tired playing games all day.

andreas · 09 May 2010, 05:06

Thanks for exhuming this.
Now THAT would be cool - getting the full version after 8 years! Yes, EIGHT years, since I started this thread back in 2002! Fingers crossed boys!
