RSS Bot Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hi there! The second game powered by Incentives Freescape engine: I always regarded those Freescape games a fascinating technical achievement, albeit I never really played one of them. On the C64 they simply seemed to run way too slow, IIRC at 2-3 frames per second. And later on the Amiga I had better games, I thought I always loved the C64 soundtracks of Driller and Dark Side though. They're backed by incredibly epic 10-15 minute psychedelic tunes which do an impressive jobs of creating ambient atmospheres. Even if one hates the games, I at least recommend listening to those tunes once The game itself is playing on the dark side (Aha!) of a moon, where you have to disrupt some evil alien plan by destroying their power grid and installatons. While it was considerably fast, the Amiga version I was playing tonight unfortunately seemed to be buggy though. I always ran out of time very fast, even though destroying the power grid was supposed to slow down the timer. In my final try I equipped myself with a map and went straight along a walkthrough and still ran out of time halfway through the mission... So I decided to have a look at the C64 version instead tomorrow. Maybe it's halfway playable at 500% emulation speed Greetings, Manuel http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?a...;showentry=6323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
