Woof - Unknown platformer

TCD · 31 August 2022, 11:47

regnsloja contacted us at HOL with a request to have a look at a disk they dumped: http://www.regnsloja.se/amiga/dump/amiga.htm

The request is written on the website itself, so I'll just forward it here and hope somebody can have a look

Passwords:

SNOOZE
DOGGIE
HOTDOG

I had a go of Woof. It plays and controls OK via A500 emulation and the graphics are well drawn. I noticed someone went to the trouble of including an idle animation, although I'm not sure what it depicts. Is our canine chum filing his nails?

I didn't reach the end of the first level before getting bored so I wouldn't know about the issues addressed re: advancing between stages. All a bit generic, that's the main drawback.

Thank you

Did you check if the game works when using the passwords?

dreamkatcha · 01 September 2022, 20:01

No probs, just done that now. 'Snooze' causes it to crash after attempting to start a new game (see attached image), while the other two passwords work fine, allowing you to skip to the later levels.

It features quite a nifty animated game over screen it should be noted.

Looks like loading problem. Missing data or corrupted data.

TCD · 01 September 2022, 21:43

So only level 2 doesn't work (for now). Thanks to everyone having a look

Checked it in adf-workshop and it's indeed a bad disk image, unfortunately.

Disk Format : Bootable NoDOS disk
- Possible doscopy on NoDOS disk! Type DiskCopy WB2.1+ (sector 880 with 28 bad bytes)
- Rate of filling : 85.66% (based on sectors identification)

Thank you for checking Retroplay

It's a good game, too bad it's still not on HOL
Who do we hit to make this happen?

I am against violence. So let's say it's TCD fault

Yeah, you lot could start with asking nicely

CodyJarrett · 21 February 2023, 09:20

I've been playing through it for screens and maps so I'll create an entry soon.

The second world (Ocean) won't load although the levels after it work okay.

TCD · 21 February 2023, 09:44

Thank you Cody

Crashdisk · 24 February 2023, 16:39

I know it's a lot of work to add and update all these game pages with all the research and media creation involved.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible work

CodyJarrett · 24 February 2023, 22:48

Here's the HOL entry: https://hol.abime.net/6860

It'd be great if someone could fix this game so we can play level 2.

Megalomaniac · 25 February 2023, 00:07

Looks really impressive. Were the Scandinavian Computer Club long-running, did they develop many games?

Off-topic, and it'd never occurred to me before, but the kids TV series Woof! from that time, about a boy who kept turning into a dog, could have made a great game too. Maybe arcade as the dog and arcade adventure as the human?
