Enhanced Body Blows ?
« on: July 12, 2011, 01:58:14 AM »
While I thought the game in any of its guises was massively over-rated Ive always been curious about AGA enhanced version of Body Blows1. Has anyone ever used it? Has a turbo mode amongst other tweaks so far as I know, but Ive never seen it reviewed and have only ever seen it mentioned in magazines of yesteryear, which seem to suggest its an add on disc or 2.

Can anyone elaborate here please ?
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

CU Amiga magazine Mentions a turbo mode as well besides the "enhanced" backdrops. I've just stumbled across it now so I'll have a look myself.

As for my new phone, u may be confusing me for someone else. Im not really a phone person  :)  I did get my 6 year old phone soaked my some clown a while back and was going to replace it, is that what you mean?  Thankfully though after a week of drying out it came good again (more or less, the front lcd display is now sometimes backwards, upside down, or both  :))

What the heck did Mike say in body blows galactic? It was a scratchy mess of a sample  :)

Finally had a look. As I was led to believe there is a turbo mode in AGA version of BB1. Seems there's a bit of confusion about Body Blows and its versions though in here. To clarify things:

Body Blows1 has both an ocs and aga version. These are more or less the same game. Same characters, same backgrounds (although enhanced a little for AGA), same characters and amounts of characters. The only differences are the extra speed and moderately enhanced background graphics.
Body Blows Galactic is the sequel and it comes in both ocs and aga versions. Again, both versions are nigh on identical apart from slightly enhanced graphics in the AGA version. No longer has turbo mode for AGA.
Ultimate Body Blows is a CD only game that is more or less a mixture of the 1st 2, but with some new backdrops. For my tastes this one had the best background graphics.

As for Mike. What the heck does he say? Yes people have mentioned there's little changed, but that has nothing to do with my question.
