Title: Amiga Arena exclusive preview about "PairsNG"
Post by: AmigaACE on May 27, 2003, 01:59:27 PM

Some of you remember the game "Pairs" from Tobias Lenz, released 1996? (see Aminet).  Now after 7 years Christop Kimna,developed the brand new "PairsNG".  This time i have only the review about this game and a interview with Christop Kimna in german online.  But, dont be worry - enjoy the exclusive Screenshots in the "Interview" rubric and you will see what i mean,when i say this could be one of the best Amiga WB games in 2003!

Ugh, lzx archive ?  Not all of us have ready access to a working Amiga y'know :-(

Really wanted to see what it looked like as well!

Good!  More WB games mean more games for Amithlon!

I loved Pairs but it was AGA only PAL or something. I don't recall but it never made the move from my A1200 to my 4000 and I was just considering re-writing this one if I ever got time (which I never do),  for DE, and hopefully AOS4. Unfortunately I can't read much German, and I'm at work and can't open the LZ archive of screenshots so I'll have to wait till I get home to take a look.
Well, it looks like it's written in C and uses stromwizard.library for UI stuff.

It's a good test then, who has Amiga/Compatibles and who not :-) Anyway, there is unlzx for windows. (Not to mention UAE)

Sorry folks,

i own only Amiga Computers :-)
and never used a PC/Amithlon
or UAE,so i was thinking that it would be possible to
decrunch lzx on UAE or Amithlon too.

It seems to be true that there are not many real
Amiga Computers in action? :-(

@AmigaAce
 
One fully working A4000D is sitting right here :-D
 
I can't imagine you couldn't find an utility to the PC capable of
dearchiving lzx if you only looked hard enough.

 (one was already suggested in this thread, I just noticed.)
 
Saw you ditched the odd quotes this time. Nice. ;-)

How could you see what it looks like even if you unarced the lzx if you couldn't run it anyway? :-?

And it's not as if PC's can't open lzx archives :-?.

-edit-

D'Oh, mustn't be so jumpy to hit reply before I read all reactions :-).
