Akira's PD request corner

Amiga1992 · 18 March 2002, 02:47

Ok, I'll be posting requests for some PD shit I haven't found ever. Hope you guys can help me! Here goes the first one:

Zonic by Alexander Kowalik

The following ad has been found in a german mag (Amiga Special, December 97/January 98 issue). The shop that sold this game back then was called "Silver Software & Design", its address is:

Postfach 200 531 - 51435 Bergisch Gladbach
Telephone 02202/955 70-300

(who knows, perhaps the shop still exists and someone can confirm it?: ))

Twistin'Ghost · 18 March 2002, 03:26

I remember having a disk that looked like that, but what I remember was a (rolling) demo that was a bit of a fake, but served the purpose of showing that Sonic could be done on the Amiga. I wonder what the German text says translated? If this is actually a playable real game, that would kick ass!

Djay · 18 March 2002, 04:08

i too also had this rolling demo, i don't think a full or playable version was ever released

shutter · 18 March 2002, 20:20

yes i remember this game, i had it - u could play one "Level"
,so it was a little bit playable

i searched my listings,but it seems i did not kept this disk
- sorry ,so someone else perhaps?

I'd say that screeny looks just like Sonic the Hedgehog

RetroMan · 18 March 2002, 21:30

I just found out that this Amiga PD Shop still exist, but I really don´t know if it´s still selling Amiga disks

I´ll try to contact him via Fax the next days .....

Bernd · 19 March 2002, 12:45

I uploaded the Sonic game. Anyway, I planned to put it on BTTR in the next update, but now it is online at this place earlier... Please note that it is NOT very playable. The screen starts
again and again an...
Also it has to be mentioned that the 'game' was developed by some dudes of the scene group Dual Crew Shining. I guess it was their motivation to prove that a game like Sonic *would* be possible on the Amiga and not to code a complete game...

As for Mallander: They were the greatest cheaters in the German PD biz and ripped off many customers by their dubious advertisements. One stated "Doom on the Amiga". Of course people expected to get an Amiga port of the ID game, but all they got was the poor PD game "Escape from Mount Doom" for a price of 10.00 Euro if I remember correctly. I think this guy who runs the company became rich with it because of their aggressive advertisement campaigns in the mags and by selling good PD games at prices for commercial software. They simple ignored the readme's with notes like "PD companies are not allowed to sell the game for prices higher than 1.00 UKP". There would be more bad things to tell about Mallander and Computer Center Bocholt, but originally this thread is about the Sonic game

Amiga1992 · 22 March 2002, 17:50

Hey Bernd, can you upload it again? It seems it already expired! how coulde it be?

Retro: would be fab if you could contact that shop.... I have the fax number if you need it... I will eb scanning more stuff from that shop's advert, they had some interesting stuff...

Paul · 22 March 2002, 17:59

Sonic demo in the zone

Amiga1992 · 24 March 2002, 21:51

Thanks for the reupload, Paul!

Now, I have tried this one out, and it doenst seem like the one Im looking for. Look at the pic I attached, the Title screen is different, and it clearly says "Zonic" and a name of its author.. and some options below it...

Retroman, do you think this shop would still have their Amiga stuff? Id like to nab this game, if its any similar to the DCS demo, it's nice

Amiga1992 · 24 March 2002, 21:55

Does anybody know how to access this demo's secret parts? Codetapper told me its got some, but I have no clue about how to reach them!

Guess this already gives an idea of the game's quality...

(Btw, I'm not really sure whether "Gondel" means "car").

RetroMan · 24 March 2002, 22:39

Sorry Akira, bad news

I send three Fax to that guy but no answer yet, I also tried telephone but I can´t reach him ! But the number itself still exist, so there might still be a chance

Amiga1992 · 25 March 2002, 02:29

Hold on, here was a dedicated FAX number......

02202/955 70-70

Maybe that works

Minuous · 25 March 2002, 05:55

Does anyone have the registered version of Extreme Violence? It has a couple of extra weapons etc. I know it exists, I've seen a screenshot, but the author (Simon Green) doesn't have it anymore :-(

Paul · 25 March 2002, 10:19

I found Zonic The Hedgehog but it is a PC Demo.

Check the zone.

EDIT
LOL This demo has a few!!!!!! Bugs

Paul · 25 March 2002, 11:20

Just searched google and only found the above PC demo And found some pics of Zoonic at...

It really seems to be another game... Zonic was also on Berliner Spielekiste Disk 1009:

[42m[46m[33m S p i e l e k i s t e ® #1009 [0m

[1m[4mJustice[0m : Auf der Suche nach den zu zerstörenden feindlichen
Kraftwerksgeneratoren stürzt Du dich mit Deinem 1-
Mann-Jäger in einen heißen Flug-Abwehrkampf.
Bisher (noch) unvollendetes Actiongame.
Ab OS 1.3. Benötigt 1,5 MB (davon 1 MB ChipMem).
Autor: Niki Hemmings

[1m[4mZonic[0m : Geschicklichkeits- und Reaktionsspiel mit einem klei-
nen frechen Kater names Zonic. Dieser sitzt in einem
Außenfahrstuhl und versucht mit seinem Pusterohr den
wohl nicht ganz unbekannten »Mario« (ja, genau den!)
am Durchqueren der Landschaft zu hindern.
Dabei greift »Super-Mario« so ziemlich tief in die
Trickkiste: mal kommt er aus drei Rohren mit einem
Regenschirm nach oben schwebend, mal zu Fuß oder im
Gefährt von allen möglichen und unmöglichen Seiten...
in insgesamt vier bunten Hintergründen. - Ab OS 1.3.
--> Leicht gewöhnungsbedürftige Steuerung: beim Schießen
nach unten Joystick nach links und Feuerknopf.
Autor: Alexander Kowalik/Sundancer

Berlin PD were/are (?) the greatest Amiga games PD library. I ordered something from them in 2000...
I contacted them again in 2001 but did not receive a reply. They had tons of undiscovered
Amiga PD games in their library (more than 1500 disks plus lots of extra series with 100s
of disks)! The latest known address is:

B*E*R*L*I*N PD
S. Wenzlaff & W. Hillenbrand
Bismarckstr. 64
13585 Berlin
Tel 030-3335425
Fax 030-3336493

Perhaps somebody of you would like to try to contact them...

Amiga1992 · 27 March 2002, 02:19

Man, this ZOnic thing is getting interesting.... I wish we can foind it! Soemody fropm GErmany surely got it.

Keep in mind tho, this ZOonic thing is NOT the Zonic I'm looking for.

Twistin'Ghost · 27 March 2002, 10:39

It would be sweet if we could get a hold of the Berliner Spielekiste collection, though. No telling what kind of gems are in that library!
