Heya guys,

Currently in TOSEC there are the following:

... Black Dawn VI - Hellbound (1995)(ZSoft - F1 Licenceware)(LW)[h Bad Karma][AMOS].zip

On the "EAB File Server" there are the others in the series:

... /Commodore_Amiga/Collection/PD/Black Dawn Series/Black Dawn 3 - Legions of Dawn D1.adf
... /Commodore_Amiga/Collection/PD/Black Dawn Series/Black Dawn 3 - Legions of Dawn D2.adf
... /Commodore_Amiga/Collection/PD/Black Dawn Series/Black Dawn 4 - Thunderdawn.adf
... /Commodore_Amiga/Collection/PD/Black Dawn Series/Black Dawn 5 - A New Beginning REMIX.adf
... /Commodore_Amiga/Collection/PD/Black Dawn Series/Black Dawn 7 - Champions of Dawn.adf

...with this note:

Black Dawn 1 - 01: The original 3 level demo "PD version"

Black Dawn 1 - 02: - Same as above, but with different levels taken from the Novella disc.

Black Dawn 2: The full Version.

Black Dawn 3 - Legions of Dawn: with another, second disk that included a novella and three replacement levels for BD1. I had them integrated into the game already for you as Black Dawn 1 - 02.

Black Dawn 4 - ThunderDawn

Black Dawn 5 - A New Beginning REMIX

Black Dawn 6 - Hellbound

Black Dawn 7 - Champions of Dawn


Thanks to NeroAngelo and Shaun Watters for up-loading these versions of the Black Dawn series and special thanks to NeroAngel for the disk information.

Thanks to Andy Campbell and Shaun Watters for sharing their great Amiga games...

Are the ones missing from TOSEC yet on the EAB File Server official?

And does anyone know the release dates of them so I can rename the disks properly?

Ok, so I've worked out the year and what I think is the best naming convention for the above

... Black Dawn III - Legions of Dawn (1995)(Black Dragon - F1 Licenceware)(Disk 1 of 2)[AMOS].adf
... Black Dawn III - Legions of Dawn (1995)(Black Dragon - F1 Licenceware)(Disk 2 of 2).adf
... Black Dawn IV - Thunderdawn (1996)(5th Dimension Licenceware)(LW)[AMOS].adf
... Black Dawn V - A New Beginning REMIX (1996)(ZSoft - F1 Licenceware)(LW)[AMOS].adf
... Black Dawn VII - Champions of Dawn (1996)(ZSoft - F1 Licenceware)(LW)[AMOS].adf

You forget Black Dawn IX - Workbench Invasion & Parasite 1 & 2 for example... Amipeguser creates a wonderful thread on a1k:

I already have Parasite and Parasite II

Is "Black Dawn IX - Workbench Invasion" an official version or just some hack?

...plus I can't see that thread on a1k without registering

[NeoHippie2016]

You can find the Workbench Invasion on Berliner Spielekiste SK 1294 and on Assassins CD Nr. 4!

It seems, you forget Black Dawn Story - Hell and Gone (it belongs to the third Part of Legions of Dawn)

Hhm, and Black Dawn Remix (Black Dawn VIII). You can find it on Nordlicht Nr. 143-01 und PD-Soft Nr. 4125.

These informations are all from amipeguser!

[Predseda]

It would be wonderful if someone created a clever compilation, with a nice frontend etc. I asked Double Sided games if they can do it officially and they say

There might be a release of all the other BD games in the future, nothing confirmed yet.

so I think it probably won't happen from their side.

This is all very confusing indeed

So where do I find "Black Dawn Story - Hell and Gone" and how exactly does it belong to "Black Dawn III - Legions of Dawn"?

Is it an data disk or something?

[Predseda]

IIRC the story was on the disk 2 of Legions of Dawn (?), it was a novell from Ken Murphy.

@DamienD & @Predseda: It is possible, to copy Screenshots from a1k in this thread? Or to send you the Download Links for all Black Dawn Episodes /Games? All Infos, Pictures and Download Links from amipeguser!

[DamienD]

I don't see no reason why not... as long as amipeguser is cool with that?

[Predseda]

I must check which parts of the saga we miss on Lemon.

[DamienD]

HOL is missing loads: Black Dawn

[Predseda]

We miss Thunderdawn (BD 4), Black Dawn Remix (BD8) and both Parasites then. Will be added.

Not sure what Workbench Invasion is.

[NeoHippie2016]

I will uploaded all the stuff from amipeguser tomorrow. It is not a problem for him. He allowed me that...

I do not think so, a1k requires registration.

[Predseda]

BTW there is a mistake in HOL: Hellbound is Dawn VI: Hellbound, not Black Dawn IV: Hellbound

As written on the title screen. Thanks, it is fixed now

[Predseda]
