Hmm, where (URL) do you get that error? I had a quick look and it's loading okay for me (at least everywhere I clicked).

Ah well you see you don`t live in over subscribed, throttled, broadband Britain...........

@AAG : Thanks, I'll check that GBplayer add-on which really seems promising, and shall report about it .

EDIT : checked, downloaded, installed it with the lookup plugins (HoL & LemonAmiga)
-> A nice addition to GBA, I pm'd AAG about it.
Can be set up in a few minutes without risking to mess up one's file. Go for it !


I added a few screenshots to Gamebase Amiga when it was still in v1.5 phase. So I felt like offering you a homemade pack. I checked v1.6 additional screenshots, they shouldn't overlap. The pack includes a list of newly illustrated games.

Will add screenshots for about 20 (or so) more games in the next pack, if that's OK with you.

No thank you, as I said last time I cannot and will not use pics taken from other sites, then there's the fact they all vary in quality and format...

Please do not do this again, and I strongly advise no one else to use this pack either or you will end up with messed up files.

My mistake, I thought some GBA users might not be willing to wait for a new version, when they have the ability/will to add those missing "extras" by themselves, especially after they're done with reuniting the whole Database.
I do think GBA a great project, by the way...

I shall move the pack back to my web site (the ReadMe already specifies it being "at your own risk"), since you don't like the idea of it .


Edit : DONE, thanks for your cooperation.

What a great update to an already fantastic Gamebase! Thank's for sharing!!

I think that Belgarath should get some culture prize for this effort.

While Gamebase Amiga home site is not fully functional, you may find 1.6 needed files by this request in google: "gamebase amiga tosec".

sorry to bump an old thread but i downloaded the amiga gamebase v1.6 adf pack because it looks so much cleaner than tosec and appears to have only working game versions but i did notice that the version of spellbound dizzy & panic dizzy is the version cracked by fairlight.
in the tosec collection this same game is called dizzy's excellent adventures d2, now ia while back i played the fairlight cracked version and it is broken, the game breaks just after you collect the rubber snorkel. however the version cracked by flashtro does not crash and is completable.
it got me thinking that using only the amiga gamebase for my adf collection may be a mistake because maybe other bad cracked games were selected for the package.
i guess thats a potential problem with having only one version of a game included. every game would have to be completed to verify that the crack is good.
for the most part the gamebase collection appears to be fantastic though fair play.
