Does anyone own Willy The Kid by Kingsoft? http://hol.abime.net/5862/miscshot

From the retail store sticker... he's in Germany. We do have some KryoFlux demo units around here, could send one to dump it... Can you get me in touch?

Found the scene release.

s2325 · 27 August 2012, 22:14

Could you upload it to the Zone?

Great find mai

s2325 · 27 August 2012, 22:35

Thank you, I was curious why it looks like early ST game and found http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari...kid_24716.html

Another HOL "Missing in Action" bites the dust.

lilalurl · 27 August 2012, 23:41

So from the screenshot in mai's post and the link in s2325's post, HoL entry would be changed this way:
- year of first release: 1987
- amiga original: no (ST version from 1986)
- Category: adventure

Any objection?

I hope there is a more detailed credits screen too because I suppose that the two persons named are actually those who made the ST version.

Probably uncracked version, game tries to access track 80 again and again.

mr.vince · 01 October 2012, 17:52

Might check by applying the key track... Have a tool that was used to create Kingsoft master disks; might be a wrong version though...

Drive is in infinite loop, as reported here: http://eab.abime.net/project-tosec-a...tml#post848511
Some gameplay: [ Show youtube player ]

mr.vince · 16 September 2013, 22:01

If someone would point me to the file there is, I could try the master disk maker, maybe it works after that...

I upped a rebuilt ipf created from the bad PUB "crack" to Turran.
grafpatrick kindly playtested the ipf from start to finish.
It's got Frank Neuhaus protection on track 80.0/80.1.

Sorry for the necromancing but at least there's a working playable disk image of this rare game now.

Thank you for the flowers, Retroplay. Amazing work!!! I will also update the walkthrough that is included in the whdload-installer. But of course, still hoping to find a pristine original of this rare (and nice) text-adventure.
And maybe (I am dreaming now) a higher version than 1.0 is out there that fixes the whiskey/milk-bug (in the Atari ST-version you have to drink milk to beat a bad guy. Drinking whiskey makes you too drunk to beat him. In the Amiga version we have it doesn't matter if you drink milk or whiskey...)
