Another PD game request!
« on: December 20, 2005, 12:13:20 PM »
Ages (years) ago there was a non-playable demo of a game in progress on Aminet. It was a space battle kind of affair, and the author claimed it was the most advanced game of its kind at the time. I never got it to run, but was very intrigued by it.

I seem to remember that in the readme for the game, there was something about "what would happen if I ran the demo on 2 Amigas and pointed the screens at each other" and the answer he gave was that it would open a portal to another dimension  :lol:

That's all I know about the game as I never actually played it, and can't remember anything else. Anyone have any idea?

Hmmm it might have been Lambda. I never actually saw screenshots so I can tell if it is the same one.

Don't get us started on unreleased games...
(Putty Squad mumble mumble...)

I managed to find a SNES ROM image of Putty Squad to play in an emulator. I don't really feel bad about downloading it, as I preordered it from Alive Mediasoft and paid, but never got the game.

It was a really good game, and I did complete it. I just wish I could play it on my Amiga. As I understand it, the game was finished, but never released. There must be a copy somewhere?

Isn't Andrew Korn still around? Maybe he has a review copy of Putty Squad  :-D Andrew, are you there? :-)
