I did the same thing and tried to run the demo executable from the CLI, but I only get a bit of intro text and then back to the CLI and no game running.

I have a Blizzard 1230 Mk IV installed so I tried starting without CPU cache but to no avail. Any suggestion?

That game work great with Blizzard IV. I have exactly the same card.
You do not need to change anything just boot without startup-sequence and run from there.

Thanks for your reply. I guess there's something else in my setup that the game does not like. I run it from an internal IDE CF card, nothing fancy, but the display goes through an Indivision Mk2 and I got WHD games crashing because of it in the past.

Already got my preorder in to the US. Looking forward to bobbing my head :-P

i tried the demo and is funny game. it's of course very ripetitive, so i think that the demo could be enough for many players that don't want to spend money. For the rest, tecnically very good work to run this game on stock A1200 with fast RAM.

If you played Jump before the game is not that repetitive.
I played the C64 version quite a lot.

There are many different missions and a lot of things you must master.


I understand what you are saying but I think that the game will sell more with the demo.
This game is very addictive and if we want to see more of this quality we must support it!

Addictive?!?! I'm not 'addicted' to any game. Some I enjoy a great deal, but I wouldn't say I have an addiction where I have to play to feel good. Hehe.

Jeez, you know the parlance if you’ve been into games for more than ten minutes. Half the arcade games boxes/print copy go on about how addictive they are. They wouldn’t do that if there was any risk of it being mistaken with your interpretation.

That's why the giggle after the facetiousness. Yeah, and idioms are a bit idiotic. Anyway, it was a fun Tongue-N-Cheek reply. I ignored most silliness on boxes when it came to 'addiction' chatter. :-)

I was wondering if I should add one more level to the demo. I changed my mind at the last minute...

Outstanding work Kefir! The demo is great fun and really polished! I ordered a physical copy of this a while back so it's great to see this nearing completion - kudos to you and your musicians for making a stunning Amiga game!

Oh, I tested it on my MiSTer running both AmigaOS 3.9 and 3.2.1 and it worked perfectly!

[blackcornflake]

Very cool. I discovered the game yesterday via a YouTube video about new games (cos I'm too lazy to read EAB, ahem), and was blown away. Even more impressive that the hw requirements are so low. Thanks and well done, Kefir

It was sarcasm. I've been in the APoV writing mode a lot lately. Comes from that.

Never fear, dear board member. I watch EAB like a hawk. A hawk with enhanced cyborg eyes. And laser claws.

Are you the same hawk that did the smooth Sonic shenanigans in the Apollo Forum?

Nah, evil twin.

Demo v1.10 available

* Lower chip memory usage.
* Minor bugs fixed.

[AC/DC HACKER!]

A little better for my A4000 CyberstormPPC. It isn't stable at all with OS 3.2.1. Causing system locks and reboots. OS 3.5 is better. I've been able to play Level 1 and 2 a few times, but it sometimes sticks at the > prompt. I've been able to get to level 4 once. So far.

I have to be sure Caches are Disabled at Boot Menu. That's what I have to report so far.
