Lotus 2 II and Lotus 3 III A1200 Fixed Version

[mattsell]

I have been looking everywhere for an A1200 version of Lotus 2 and 3. All the .adf's I've found are the A500 version and the Whdload version is the same, this is fine for Lotus 2 but Lotus 3 is the problem. In 2 player, Lotus 3 runs slower and the track looks like it goes backwards.

I know that Magnetic Fields created an A1200 fixed version for these two games because, way back when, I bought Lotus Triolgy and sent the disks back to Gremlin to get the A1200 versions.

A1200 fixed version of lotus 3, is the one I really need, the game runs the same speed in 2 player as in 1 player mode - smooth track/frame update.

Please, please someone help, I don't mind ADF, copies or originals.

Please get in contact with me, thanks.

Very few people have played this version or know what it is.

It doesn't seem like Gremlin ever released it, except to people who sent their disks to them by post.

If the framerate is lower than 1 player mode, or lower than Lotus 1/2, then you haven't got it! If you're not sure, try playing 1 then 2 player for comparison.

It definitely needs to be tracked down. Full-speed Lotus 3 is fantastic!

Is the CD32 version of Lotus trilogy the "fixed" one, or the original?

[mattsell]

Not sure, but I know you need a CD32 Joypad to play it (and a CD32 Emulator I believe).

Clebin --> Glad you remember it too, what a great version it was, much improved. Shame you haven't got it either.

To add to Clebins point you will know you have the 1200 version if it loads on an A1200 with just the disks, The original A500 version just crashes.

Has anyone had any luck with this "Amiga1200 fixed Lotus 2&3"??

I was just playing Lotus 3 on my 1200 with a friend and i must say it runs unplayably slow on some tracks (damn shame).

But it's a great game, so please keep us informed!!

The fix for AGA doesn't work on the Krypt cracks for me, anyone got a Lotus II ADF that works on an A1200?

I played the CD32 version on my a4k ages ago but I know that it worked using a joystick.

I think the game works fine with just a joystick as it only uses one button?  :confused:

I have never heard of the AGA fixed version before. What's the difference? This is interesting...

Fixed = stops it crashing on AGA. No speed improvement for Lotus II. Play Lotus II on any NTSC Amiga for faster game than PAL

Can't find a working fix for Lotus 3, the most important because that's very much slower screen update on A500 etc but AGA version should be as smooth and fast as CD32 & PC version.

So no AGA fixed Lotus 3 disks used by anyone here....

lotus 3 AGA fixed or a special disk version for the A1200 does not exists
The best you can do is play Lotustrilogy where Lotus 3 have been enhanced and is lot faster and smoother than the original

also I have LOTUS 2 AGA fixed...it was a fix done in 1998 but is for hardisk... maybe can be onedisked

[Digiman]

The cracked ADF with AGA fix in he Tosec for Lotus2 works fine for 14nhz 020 A1200 but not 030/040/060 CPU so only for standard A1200. Lotus 3 fix for AGA doesn't work.

How do I play the CD32 trilogy on A1200? It only boots on CD32 no other Amiga +CD system like A1200 + Zappo + CD32 boot disk for CD32 CDs as tested by AF and CU Amiga mags. Are there CD32 ADFs somewhere without CDDA music just SFX etc?

Lotus 3 is the problem, ECS version is like Atari ST Lotus 2 screen update

holy thread resurrections, this thing is ancient.

Anyhow, as far as I know, the correct answer is there isn't any difference between the AGA fixed version on disk that Magnetic Bytes shipped and the one on the CD32 Lotus Trilogy.  I seem to remember playing the CD32 version on my A1200 without doing anything unusual for the time.  (Maybe booting the 1200 with no startup script and assigning libs to a directory containing the A1200 version of lowlevel.library and nonvolatile.library or something before running the CD's startup-sequence, but that was it.  A really old trick that boots most CD32 games on an A1200.)

you are wrong
lotus trilogy cd32 version do not works in a easy way like you said
I just tested it the version which I downloaded from emuparadise...black screen
it needs a hardisk fix
