No Buddies Land

Tim Janssen · 11 February 2002, 08:49

Here comes a request for a very rare game: No Buddies Land by Loriciel in 1992. This game was reviewed by Amiga Joker in April 1992 and can be best described as a vertical scrolling platform-game. As in Flood, Rainbow Islands and The Killing Game Show this game features the ‘rising water-level’-effect. This is the only information I’ve got.

I am searching for this game for many years now. Maybe it is known under an other (French?) title. Can anyone help?

Hey, hey... I found this old request in the depths of EAB History. Does anyone know this game is ever published?

andreas · 07 February 2003, 13:51

An Atari ST version definitely exists.

Twistin'Ghost · 08 February 2003, 03:19

Hopefully, an Amiga version is out there. I have found originals of Loriciels games can be tricky to find, so maybe this one just never got cracked?

Tim Janssen · 19 February 2003, 09:40

The fact [I]No Buddies Land[/I still has not surfaced on Internet after 11 years and the mag (Amiga Joker) being notorious reviewing games that never appeared on Amiga, I am afraid it is a hoax.

andreas · 03 November 2003, 17:18

No matter if...Tim (or someone else), could you provide some "HOL-conformable" screenshots of this one?

Thanks. Game added to HOL.

Tim Janssen · 05 November 2003, 08:38

I saw in the HOL-entry the game is released on the Atari ST. The game is worth to get an Atari-ST emulator for. Almost.

Perhaps the HOL entry shouldn't say 11 years. While it may be accurate now, in a year it won't be. You may as well reduce the workload by changing it to:

Maybe this is a job for Amiga Games That Weren't??

No Buddies Land is such a poor title for a game. I presume it's some kind of mistranslated thing!

girv · 01 February 2007, 18:04

"No Buddies" = "no friends" = "unfriendly" or "dangerous" land maybe ?

@Rob: what the method for skipping the wizard level? I think I've got your other trainers covered already.

What's the reason for having no collision detection as well as infinite energy?

I had infinite cash, but in the end I went for "everything costs $1" in the shop as it was more obvious when you'd actually bought something

I did have "enter shop any time" but took it out ... seemed overkill

hehe, yeah I did know, but 'buddies'? Why would you ever translate to that

No buddies land = Le pays ou y a pas d'copains lol

Weird controls for jumping and some semi-visible platforms, but it's still good game.
