I find the sense of entitlement in this thread astonishing. Simone has put a lot of work into his software, and you either own a supported platform or you don't. Give the guy a break and be grateful he's so passionate about developing an Amiga product.

Nice to hear again from you :)

BTW: the latest update brings the fullscreen map mode we were discussing a long time ago :D

Oh nice! Could you email or PM me a code so I can download the latest version please?

I really wanted to finish my BOH-related projects (the level editor and the "total conversion" gfx/sound/level packs) but I just never had time. Now the editor is really out of date with the mission file format :-(

Just sent via email.

Thanks - got it! Fantastic service as always :)

I'd be glad if you used it to submit your records to the worldwide standings ;)

Will do :)

BTW: you should have received it already one year ago: maybe you're no longer using the email address I have?

No it's the same address, but I don't seem to have the email address. IIRC I never actually downloaded the official version as I was using the beta OS X versions. So perhaps I didn't have a download code back then.

I feel for you. Well, don't think about those: if you find some free time, just enjoy BOH for what it already offers (and it offers a lot more, after the updates) :)

I certainly will! And I suspect that as I get into the game again I'll want to get the editor up and running :)

I had a long reply to explain my point of view, but it doesn't really matter, so I will just post the first sentence of it here.

Yes, it is very presumptuous of me to state my opinion that I believe that since the developer is an AmigaOS4.x user, he has made a choice which prevents his work from being ported to MorphOS2.x.


He has made a choice, and it is exactly the choice you say it is - not to port his software to your chosen OS. The reasons for that have been quite clearly stated by Simone. Whether or not you believe him is quite irrelevant.

BOH


I'm guessing not this as apparently it isn't addictive ;)


BOH (the game) is highly addictive :)

I'm glad you're re-discovering it :D
Enjoy, and please don't be shy... I'm looking forward to see your records appear in the global standings ;)


You'll have to wait I while I think - I'm not very quick in this game :)

No problem. Anyway, just as a clarification, you're not obliged to send all the records in one go - you can just leave the option on and let the game send the new ones after each gaming session.


Well I'll just leave it switched on and if I improve then you'll see my name pop up :)

Can you guys break down for me precisely what the objective of BOH is?  I've never actually played it, but hear glowing reports from those that have.

Why not play the demo? :) I think it kind of feels like Doom in 2D. You run around mazes filled with traps, monsters, doors, keys, weapons etc, trying to get to the end of the level and beat the boss.

Edit - here's the overview from the web site:
Quote
BOH is a unique retro-flavoured puzzle-riddled maze game spiced up with thrilling action.
You move in claustrophobic, mysterious, dangerous battlefields searching for the Evil Masters, who throw countless enemies at you until you discover and face them in the final battle. Although your quests are made slightly less hard by the power-ups scattered all around, carrying out the missions demands lots of concentration and quick reflexes.

With BOH the fun never ends: new missions can be added anytime and you can even create your own! And, as if that was not enough, you can also customize entirely its audio-visual aspect!

BOH has been created with lots of passion and care to offer, with its oldschool style, a fascinatingly different videogaming experience.

Your name will pop up regardless of the actual time records: there is no threshold in order to "qualify" ;)


Oh right - so everyone can see how bad I am :lol:
