Lord-Chaos Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Some games I know with nasty bugs : - Universal Hero , game crashes , is unplayable - Feud : cannot pick up one herb for lighning spell - Colony : graphic bugs , if you activate the second robot - Rogue : my version was unplayble , not possible to fight monsters All games are from Mastertronic , seems that their quality control was bad. Anyone know more games with serious bugs ? Thimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , this may be possible.I never finished the game,too. But it was possible on the C64 - I think the ATARI version is a really crappy conversion of the C64 original.

Lord-Chaos Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 Phantasie III; my game keeps crashing whenever I enter one particular cave. Maybe a problem with the disk or does this happen with all Phantasie III ? BTW. I had a problem with Phantasie 3 on the ATARI ST.It always crashed when I entered a building in the city. Maybe it was a bug , maybe it was because I have an 1040STE which is not 100% compatible to old STs. Did not happen on the AMIGA (the AMIGA version is an 1:1 port of the ST version) Thimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game crashes quite late in the game, and prevents its completion. It's so aggravating! The entire Phantasie series is wonderful, though.

Wrathchild Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 - Universal Hero , game crashes , is unplayable - Feud : cannot pick up one herb for lighning spell - Colony : graphic bugs , if you activate the second robot - Rogue : my version was unplayble , not possible to fight monsters U.H - I patched this one, its available on Jindoush's site I think. Feud - didn't know that Colony - very infuriating that one! Guess we'd need the original source to correct it? Rogue - very cr*ppy conversion - stick with Temple trilogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 The Defender cart that I had would fail to initialize half of the time. Wasn't a big problem, since you could just turn it off and back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I see bugs in bug hunt! Its buggy he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 It's not buggy- just TOO DAMN HARD!!! This is true. I managed to make it once, then died soon after inside the complex because of it being too hard, I really wanted to like that game too! As for the other games mentioned, I never noticed those bugs, except for feud...do you have originals? Or are these downloaded copies that may be bad cracks?

But it was possible on the C64 - I think the ATARI version is a really crappy conversion of the C64 original. The Atari version was actually a little easier than the C64 one, i completed it first and then went back to the Breadbin with the mental map of the Sci-Base to finish that one too. For the record, i've completed both versions legitimately and with short-cuts on the first level [smug look =-] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMR Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Ok, what are the shortcuts! V8 only checks a small area under the car (on the C64 it's one 4x8 pixel character) so there are two points where, with a little practice, it's possible to sneak through the landscape. The first is near the start, after a couple of straights there is a very tight corner and at the bottom of that corner is a small gap it's possible to sneak through if you line the car up just right. Further on the road is shaped like a large MS and there are two similar gaps at the bottom of the S. Of the two, the latter is the better because it plonks you right next to the bridge near the end of the first stage. As for the Sci-Base, i did a map a few years back on USENet that was archived into the Commodore Knowledge Base; http://www.floodgap.com/retrobits/ckb/display.cgi?504 i've just been playing the Atari version again with an emulator, it is possible to do the entire first level without shortcuts and just scrape into the inner city as the bomb warning is going off...
