RIP. He was clearly a great guy and did a lot for the Atari preservation effort.

No no, but thank you for offering anyway. Perhaps link where you got it for others who do though? This thread can be wrapped up nicely then.

Did you find it in German?

Old news!

v3 isn't even listed on Demozoo; only "v3.1" (IV).

Found the DOS version auf Deutsch if that's to your taste- http://www.monkeygames.uz/game/yuppi-s- ... -millionen
And the German manual- http://strangetextsbutcher.blogspot.com ... erman.html

Heh, the Miggy sounds... a bit poo TBH! Eh, it's OK but underwhelming; disappointing; some voices sound slightly flat. The compression on the ST makes it sound somehow beefier, which is what it needs. Same goes for the in-game tunes. Now I've got to find the extracted files for the ST intro somewhere.

Sorry, I'm not following exactly what you said. Do you mean there are samples playing through software as a MOD file or similar, rather than a single file in a wave-form? That's amazing if that's the case; I just assumed it was some trickery with the YM chip to play a recording. Of course it's an in...

[continued] PP 67 - Fix applied. No change in disk checker comment. Images different and attached.

PP 6 - Complains of having not been patched to include a trainer and about DESKTOP.INF (irrelevant?). When patched still shows this discrepancy. I have attached both images and they are different (intro blurb has changed). PP_13_4A_00003.png PP_006_00001.png PP 27 - One of the disks fixed for STEs ...

PP 4 - If Sledge had a slightly different version of the file and Alien acknowledged this then that disk is OK, surely? PP_13_4A_00001.png PP 22 - The pilot roster is the equivalent of a save file so again I very much doubt an original will be found. These disk images date from 1998. PP_13_4A_00004...

The Little Green Desktop CD's PP #3 only has a problem with one of the high score files. As the doc for the checker says- "...it's almost certainly really OK, just different from my copy!" [the Alien's originals]. And I VERY much doubt we'll find one of those! I'm working through the rest of the dis...

@dlfrsilver Any joy? I've done some searching for disks on auction sites, online local marketplaces etc. and it's not the best of times right now let's just say. Here for example is this lucky chancer's listing . OK I get that nobody's working with Covid and everything but this guy, after his 5 boxe...

This doesn't have anything to do with the switch to the newly released STE that happened half way through the Pirates's run of disks does it? They re-released the early CDs to make them compatible so wouldn't the old ones fail on said newer hardware? I expect you're already aware of all this and I'm...

I have an itching to dump more disks again now I have a (somewhat) reliable two floppy XP box (somewhat) available. I think I'm done with my collection as it stands but what with Corona, I may do some eBaying for disks. No promises though, sorry. can you put here the menu disk with cloud kingdoms ? ...

Me again, some time has passed... Just a quickie to say that PaSTi on both hardware was unsuccessful unfortunately. No improvements on what I'd already managed to achieve. Cloud Kingdoms fails to load on anything sadly, but at least the menu is intact. Oh, and turns out that IK+ 'glitch' is well kno...

I use MSA Converter to get at each disk's contents which I can "Read" which saves each file to a temporary directory which I can access with STEEm SSE. I've then often got to decompact the menu PRG and I've found most success with Synergy Giga 2.1 although I've tried a few including Mega and Naughty...

Wait, you don't mean you transcribe the text off the screen do you? If so... wow, now that's gotta hurt! ;D I can describe what I do if that helps. It should be a lot easier, if less musical! Ah, so that's your site? I found it the other day; nice work! I'll have to search it before I start on anyth...

Well crap. Now I find out that this has already been done. More than 10 years ago even. http://d-bug.mooo.com/dbugforums/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1229809442 Well that's a blow. Bit disheartening :/ . I guess I had some fun doing it? And I can do other menus instead, perhaps? We'll see but I guess I...

That makes 2 of us at least.

Updated link- http://flashtro.com/alien-world-amiga-atari-st/. Sadly the attachment seems to have disappeared since the site had an 'upgrade' (which isn't much of an improvement if you ask me when compared it to how it used to look). Maybe you still have it, musashi?

Thanks for the update Brume. Sounds like I really must check out this Legendary site that's currently all the rage... As we both have data integrity problems, could you possibly suggest some tips for recovery of problem disks? My last XP rig actually failed so I'll have a new floppy drive in the fir...

Good to know and very useful to have it all laid out. And with links; thank you! As an ST 'obsessive compulsive' I should know all this already of course...

Does the Satan work as a drive itself? I thought it just held disk images but I don't know much about it TBH.
My terrible translation was attempting to make up the German for "Fortnight kid", as in the uber-popular (modern) video game. Again, my apologies for doing that to your language!

So that place is the hottest and hippest new gig in town all the er, kids are going crazy over; I see... Might have to check it out some more myself then before this square starts to feel too out of the loop. Before I do though, I came across your old demos the other day Mug so I'll definitely be ch...
