Hi all!

It took much longer then expected but I finally managed to finish the English translation of Black Sect from Lankhor.

Hope you like it!

Cheers

Klaz

Sorry, the download had to be temporarily disabled, but it will be back online soon.

Promised!

Excellent, at last I can play (and actually understand) Black Sect

Nice one Klapauzius

Ok, problems are solved now.

I have attached the disk images to this post.

Please note that this is the first English version of this game on any platform.

Please read the (lengthy) scrolltext for more detailed information on this game/hack/translation. Suffice to say here that the game has also been spiced up to run from hard disk and on more recent Atari machines. An English walkthrough solution can be found on disk 1.

Quick and big thanks go to Zorro 2 (for the intro), Fredo_L (for his generous supply), the Beast (for the original French disks), D-Bug (for ULS) and all others for their help and patience.

Enjoy!

Klaz

Cool, but will it still work on a not-so-new Atari? A 1040ST, for example?

I've always wanted to play this game to its full extent. Thanks Klaz.

Yep, it will even work on a 512kB STFM and up to a Falcon030. That's the range it has been tested on.

I've been playing it this weekend on the falcon - not a bad game, but not easy at all... makes me want to just play through that solution on the 1st disk

Has anyone found the really cheesy joke messages that appear - re: Sharon Stone & Jean Claude Van Damme?

Post by **Dal** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 6:33 pm

Am I missing something or does the zip file really only have disks 2 and 3 in it??

keili · Post by **keili** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 6:39 pm

No, it's complete.

Hi guys

Sorry for such a question but how can i unpack that .st file?
thank you very much

Post by **Mug UK** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 12:31 pm

The .ST file is an image of the disk. If you want the files version to play off the h/drive, then download the other file, unzip to your h/drive and launch from there?

Brnak · Post by **Brnak** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 12:37 pm

thanks but i would like to play this english version and it is only on this site
or where can i download the another english version from?

Klapauzius · Post by **Klapauzius** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 1:11 pm

The version here is the only English version available.
There are no separate disk image/file/hard disk versions, it's an all-in-one version

If you want to play it on a real machine and not on an emulator - which I think is what you want - you will have to either convert the ST images to MSA format (use MSA Converter for that), or use ppera's FloImg tool to write the ST images to floppy on your PC (provided you got a floppy drive in it).

FloImg:

MSA Converter:
http://msaconverter.free.fr/

.... or:
just wait a few hours til I'm home from work again, and I'll post MSA images of the game here.

Here is the game in MSA format.
Nothing else has been changed...
