Powerplay: The Game Of The Gods - Greek version

alkis21 · 10 July 2011, 16:43

Although HOL does not mention it, Powerplay: The Game Of The Gods had an official version in Greek. I recently found it again and I would be greatful if CFou or someone else could write a patch for this rare gem.

Thanks for the info

HOL updated.

Quick question out of curiosity: what is the text in the middle of the screenshot (what starts with Greek looking like EAAHNIKEE) saying?

Is it the translation of the name of the game in Greek? A subtitle?
Or is it some of the game options/menu (never played the game so I don't know if there is other text that comes on the title screen or not)

alkis21 · 11 July 2011, 09:44

It says:

GREEK QUESTIONS
Tina Karayanni (a woman's name)

Phantom · 11 July 2011, 14:23

Alkis, you recently found it?

(I bet you were busy with Kick Off stuff mate)

I had this game in the early 90s, play with other friends in your native language was really a brilliant experience.

I said I recently found it again!

Anyway, I uploaded the ADF in the Zone in case anyone wants to do it.

Supamax · 13 July 2011, 21:04

Is it a dump of the original disk?

I mean: is it protected with some codes or similar (have you the manual?) ? You talked about a possible help patching it by CFOU...

alkis21 · 13 July 2011, 22:42

No codes, no cracktro. It's an ADF but I don't think it's any different than the original, which is probably extremely rare these days (the Greek version).

mfilos · 13 July 2011, 23:21

Thx a lot for sharing it Alkis.
I wish we could save some more Greek translated games of the old times

I'm still searching for the Artificial Intelligence program that I had as original back then

other_reality · 31 October 2011, 16:00

I have it - the artificial intelligence EYFYIA as we called it- but unfortunately the disk is not loading well. In fact, i have it on two disks, but still cannot load it. Anywayz, i'm happy to share the disks if anyone wishes to rescue them somehow - just P.M

Prowleeeeeeeeeeeeeer!! Dear mate & friend, can you offer your great experience?

mfilos · 01 November 2011, 16:31

That would be great to share "other_reality".
Can you make an ADF of these disks with tsgui and share?

PM sent!

prowler · 21 February 2014, 22:54

I have today been contacted by PM asking if perchance I have a copy of the artificial intelligence program EYFYIA (the correspondent was not a contributor to this thread).

Unfortunately, I don't have it.

other_reality did not reply to my PM, so I have not had the opportunity to recover the program from his disks - despite my offer to return the disks to him free of charge for safekeeping whether I succeeded or not!

alkis21 · 21 February 2014, 23:14

I will ask him to take a look at this thread.

prowler · 21 February 2014, 23:20

Thanks, Alkis!

other_reality · 22 February 2014, 17:14

Hello again, @prowler i'm really sorry I havent answered your P.M, i went through a lot during those days and kinda lost track of my conversations. I read it, then somehow i left it there on the bottom of my inbox

The reason was me moving to a new house (and many more that followed that one).

The other thing is that i have succesfully loaded one of the two disks, and the disk is indeed working. The test was done on an A500, the other tests were done an an 4000T and cd32 with wfsi floppy (using relokicks etc). Problem is I only have the 500 readily available and can't make an ADF. Anyone in Athens willing to take the disk and make adf's or just keep a copy is fine with me. Otherwise i can make a copy and send prowler the actual disk.

EDIT: Arghhh....Starting to get old, i actually made one adf when I had my 4000T up and running and not in the storage. And had it on my old-trusty amiga backup disc.

Here it is : http://www41.zippyshare.com/v/8294790/file.html

The disk needs to be Write enabled, and needs Kickstart 1.3, else wont load

Thanks a lot other_reality (+prowler), it's really a blast from the past, works great and already got some mind-blowing answers!

You mention two disks: is the other one the same program?
