Ah yes I remember now, we also have the CD version on FTP, uploaded by Death Incarnate. So you can review the CDROM version. :)

You can check Lunar Command off the list. ;)

Die Hard [Taken - Ohne Mitleid]

Zool 2 - review and screenshots
 

I would like to take this one on however the file I downloaded from the site is "broken". The copy protection bypass works fine and everything seems to be okay during gameplay. Emphasis on the word "seems".

Zool-speak follows, I apologize if the game is not familiar to the reader.

Upon reaching Bulberry Hill (Level two, Stage one), the game will hang and lock very early into the level when your character tries to jump onto a light-bar platform. This happens consistently with either Zool or Zooz as your main character.

I would like to do the review and screenshots, but I don't feel comfortable doing that kind of promotion for a game that doesn't quite work. I reinstalled the game with the same result. I have also tried to find another source on the Internet, but the copies I found acted the same way.

Opinions?
Thanks

It's just probably a new easy task for you and 5th ;)

Thanks for the info, we didn't know about it. You are right, it would be not a great thing to promote a broken game. We need to find a better copy or find a solution but I guess it won't be easy.

Maybe it's the crack's fault? Happens when people do things without testing too much.

@marko river - Thank you for the vote of confidence, but I don't think my name should be used in the same sentence as The Fifth, and if it were to be, The Fifth should probably be listed first with my name being listed second.

@Dave - It most certainly has something to do with the crack, but if you looked at the files, you would see something else is unusual. The bulk of the program lies in only two files: the EXE file (2 kb) and then the monster DAT file containing what I think is the actual EXE and data.

The PDF manual download is poor too. This will probably be part of yet another thread. I am thinking if I start enough threads, I can weave myself some new clothes :p

Before I get too far into blah-blah-blah about this, I think I will move all of the matters concerning my questions to another thread(s). :smile2:

And to think this all started in December when I was thinking about some old games I used to wish I could have played when I was young... Umm, I meant younger.

Zool 2 (again)
 

I would like to be assigned Zool 2 to redo the review and screenshots. I have made modifications as needed so the "new" Zool 2 archive should be 100% (not broken). I will post this in my offers thread.

Thanks!

Glad to hear you did it, so it was the crack as suspected!
It's one of those stub reviews that need replacement right?
Reserved to you Ohne, thanks :)

Zool 2, redone.
1830 Railroads & Robber Barons (cracked), done.

I would like to request to be assigned the review and screenshots for Cool World, please.

Thank you.
