Lostdragon Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 7 minutes ago, HEXdidnt said: Just been playing this game, having burnt it to my last CD-R after a bunch of attempts with some other .CDI images in DiscJuggler v6. I wasn't optimistic, as I've got a DVD+RW drive that offers me 10x speed as a minimum burn speed, and only got one game 'backup' to work, but Fallen Angels worked perfectly. I'm only dimly aware of Rescue on Fractalus - seen playthroughs of the C64 version on YouTube, but I owned a Spectrum back in the day, and its conversion was pretty dire. Fallen Angels is great fun, though - visually impressive, decent sound, fluid movement, responsive controls and the difficulty ramps up slowly. Nothing groundbreaking, perhaps - except in terms of presentation, which is possibly better than a lot of commercially published Jaguar games. Really great work. Only thing I find a little weird is that it's only possible to return to the mothership when the message 'Mothership' appears and, in between times, one just has to fly around trying not to get shot down. Was that the case in the original? The Atari version was THE version to play back in the day, faster speed, better colour and sound than the C64 version, I could play it for hours, but found boredom set in rather quickly when i moved onto the C64 and picked it up again there.

Was that the case in the original? I'm only familiar with this version, the PC version (Which is also really nice!), and the main one I play being on the 5200 and Atari 8-bits. On the 5200 version and the PC remake, you just have to get enough pilots to meet the quota for that level and then you are able to leave to the Mothership once you have done so. Although it isn't required to do so an I usually fly around quite a bit more to rescue additional pilots for extra bonus points. It has been sometime since I played Fallen Angels on the jag so I don't remember if that was the only time you could boost back to the mothership but it would seem odd to change that aspect from other versions I've played.

Lostdragon Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Just checked with the game manual, there were set specifics regarding being able to return to the mothership. Meet your quota or run out of energy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it could be argued that it's orbiting the planet and only in range every so often. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 DON’T LOOK AT PAGE 7. YOUR IQ WILL FALL UNCONTROLLABLY AND YOU WILL NEVER RECOVER.

Is this intentional @DrTypo or did it just get left out? This is fixed in the version in the DrTypo collection. How can you tell when a crashed ship has an alien in it? I got game overed by a gorn in my first serious game ever. It was very shocking! Sucks that a ship full of trained combat pilots can’t fight one alien off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I made a rom and CDI version that can be used with BigPEmu in case you don't want to convert it yourself.

Guest Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 No conversion necessary. I'm using this rom from DrTypo post: And it runs great with the- force Jaguar GD emulation option in BigPEmu. except I just noticed it's not rendering in these two area's. bizarre I tried both roms and they both have this odd issue.

crash Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Whoops, I must have done something wrong the first time I tried it and assumed it needed conversion. I am unable to run in on hardware right now. Does it normally render in those areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the latest version of the emulator? It's rendering properly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 That would be because Rich sneaky went and fixed the issue when we weren't looking. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
