Oldtimer - English Translation

Has there ever been an attempt to translate this game to english?

There's an english DOS version which may help the cause...

The WHDL install on the Turran ftp is playable in English of sorts. IDK if that's how the game is or there's been something done to it.

True.
This is a hacked translation.
https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/N...erAGA-WHDL.lha

The Intro and main menu is in German.

A Drawer (in the main office) and the front of the "Account Book" (should be called Balance Sheet Book)
is also German; and the Text formation is a bit off here and there, but other then that, its fine

Played that alot back in the Days. It was made just a few Kilometers from my Place

Good old Max Design

The message tells you that your a600 rom is bad. You need another one.

Slave workbench 3.1:
https://whdload.de/apps/Workbench31.html


You can also run the game natively, just assign oldtimer:


With WinUAE, you can boot directly into the data directory. The generic whdload is just a packaging of a direct boot installation.

Ransom requested a hdf, it's in the zone.
It's a native install, not using generic slave.
