In Shadow of Time

[rkauer]

 Hello.

 I've downloaded the full, final version of iSoT, but the game behaves like the demo found in Aminet: when you do all you can do in the laboratory an school and try to go to mall, the game restarts!:admonish:

 I do something wrong?:headwall:

[foleyjo]

is it a freeware game?? If not maybe its punishment for downloading games and not buying them? :lol:

 Now it is!

 You can download it from Amiga Games That Weren't

 Ok, explaining better:

 I downloaded it "Amiga Games That Weren't", but it behaves just like the original demo from Aminet.

 Since I make all I can do in the John's house and at school, when I try to go to mall the game restarts with a message saying "Did you read the manual?".

 I get stuck! That is some walkaround  for this issue?

It is called "IN SHADOW OF TIME", btw. I have download it, but never really played it because i dislike the graphics. Perhaps i will give it a try.
 Did you delete the previous demo version before you install this one?

[rkauer]

 Yep!

You've run into the barely mentioned copy protection.

When you're in the laboratory and have to mix the stuff, the printed game manual would have told you to mix it in (I believe, I could be wrong, doing this from memory) a 4-1-2 ratio.

Anything else and you eventually die.

Give it a shot. If 4-1-2 is wrong, give it a google, I saw it on a forum out there somewhere, just don't remember where.

After seeing the screen shots, it is the game demo thingy I remember from way way back. It sounded familiar. Isn't this the one where the programmer was going on about how he was doing it all in assembly and that was going to make it really awesome or something? Perhaps at that time there might also have been a flame war between assembly proponents saying it was faster and best for all things and higher level language proponents saying that it would be impossible to do most modern things in assembly because debugging would take longer or some such?

 Dunno about the flame, but the author claims the game will be "inspired" in "Maniac Mansion" and/or "Monkey Island" adventure games (specially the kind of humor).

 In the "blog" of the author, he said he create the tools to make the adventure before do the game itself, so you maybe are not wrong about it (the flame).

 Thanks, pal!

 I'll try it.

Wow that looks like a proper RPG :-)

 Nope, it's an adventure!

[rkauer]

 OK, I found it (the fix).

 And the correct copy-protection is 4-1-3.

[taunusand]

Anyone still playing this game? :-)

I'm stuck in part 3..

[rkauer]

 I completed the game a long time ago.

 The final chapter is too short and not like the rest of the game (I think the coder gets tired or simply finish the game as it is, simplifying it too much).

 But the gags on the other parts are good.

 It just deserves a better end.
